His boss, Walter Nyland, sets the tone with a challenge for Owen to ‘go save the day,’ but things quickly spiral into high-stakes espionage.

This time, the trouble isn’t just overseas. The trailer hints at tension within the CIA itself, with Owen realizing the biggest threat might be coming from his own agency. Nathan Fillion’s CIA Director, Alton West, warns of catastrophic leaks, saying, ‘They are going to spill every secret we busted our nuts to keep secret.’ The team has only 48 hours to prevent disaster.

“I got this,” Noah Centineo’s rookie CIA lawyer Owen Hendricks tells his boss Walter Nyland who sends him to “go save the day” in the trailer for the upcoming second season of Netflix’s spy thriller series The Recruit, which premieres Jan. 30.

Set to a Korean cover of Green Day’s “American Idiot,” the trailer reveals more about the Season 2 premise about Owen being “pulled into a life-threatening espionage situation in South Korea, only to realize that the bigger threat just might be coming from inside the Agency.”

Nathan Fillion’s CIA Director Alton West warns that “they are going to spill every secret we busted our nuts to keep secret,” with Owen and Co. given “48 hours to stop an all-out war.”

The trailer, which you can watch above, also introduces Season 2 series regular Teo Yoo as Jang Kyun Kim who partners with Centineo’s Owen for some Rush Hour-style buddy action sequences.

The Recruit ain’t a rookie no more.

In a real Happy New Year-move from Netflix, on Thursday, January 2, 2025, the streamer released the main trailer for Season 2 of “The Recruit.” Somehow, Noah Centineo’s CIA lawyer-turned actual CIA operative is even more in over his head this time.

The trailer appropriately appropriates Green Day’s “American Idiot” with more than a dose of Korean flair — that’s the setting for this season. Centineo’s Owen Hendricks is in the middle of a covert spy mission over there, “only to realize that the bigger threat just might be coming from inside the Agency,” per the logline. The second season features six one-hour episodes — and now Teo Yoo of “Past Lives.” The trailer features ones of those cool-ass back-to-back fighting scenes with the two defending a K-Pop club’s dance floor.

In addition to Centineo and Yoo, “The Recruit” stars Aarti Mann,...

It’s classic case of good news – bad news for fans of Noah Centineo’s spy thriller The Recruit. The wait is finally over as Netflix has set January 30 release date for Season 2, which was delayed by the Hollywood strikes. That is more than two years after Season 1 dropped Dec. 16, 2022. However, the streamer also has confirmed that the second season of the Alexi Hawley-created drama will only consist of 6 episodes, down from 8 in Season 1.

First-look images, which you can see above and below, provide clues for the new season, which finds CIA Lawyer, Owen Hendricks (Centineo), pulled into a life-threatening espionage situation in South Korea, only to realize that the bigger threat just might be coming from inside the Agency.

At long last, “The Recruit” is coming back. Season 2 of the action dramedy starring Noah Centineo will premiere on Netflix on Jan. 30, 2025.

The series follows Centineo as Owen Hendricks, a man who just started working for the CIA as a lawyer. Most of Season 1 involved him grappling with a dangerous Eastern European asset as he got sucked further into the world of international politics. This time around, Owen will be pulled into a life-threatening espionage situation in South Korea — but the more he works the case, the more he realizes there may be a bigger threat inside the Agency itself.

One of the coolest and most beloved sub-genres for thriller, action, and drama fans is the spy genre and there’s a good reason. In a spy film or series, we get complicated and cool characters who put their lives on the line by going against numerous people and instead of always letting their guns talk they use more covert tactics, which are always thrilling to watch. So, Netflix being what it is, it has a large library of content and also some of the best spy shows you can find and that’s what inspired us to compile a list of the best spy shows you can watch on Netflix right now.

When putting together the new Netflix series “The Recruit,” creator and showrunner Alexi Hawley said it was “important” for him to show a diverse cast as well as fill his writers room with talent from all backgrounds.

“If I don’t do that then that’s on me,” Hawley told TheWrap during a recent interview.

“The Recruit” marks Hawley’s Netflix debut, but he’s no stranger to television — the twin brother of “Fargo” creator Noah Hawley is also the creator and showrunner of the hit ABC series “The Rookie” and worked as a producer and writer on “Castle.”

The action-packed “The Recruit” follows Owen, played by Noah Centineo (Netflix’s “To All the Boys” trilogy) as he navigates his first week on the job as a lawyer for the CIA. However, what seems like it would be an easy fresh start turns into life-threatening mission to stop a former...

Plot: Owen Hendricks is a young CIA lawyer whose first week on the job turns upside down when he discovers a threatening letter by former asset Max Meladze, who plans to expose the agency unless they exonerate her of a serious crime. Owen quickly becomes entangled in a dangerous and often absurd world of power politics and mischievous players, as he travels the world in hopes of completing his assignment and making a mark at the CIA.

Review: It seems like a risky move for Netflix to premiere their new spy series just a week before Prime Video debuts the third season of Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan. The Recruit and the John Krasinski-led thriller center on CIA employees with military backgrounds who get pulled from their regular duties to become field operatives. The most significant difference between the two series is The Recruit has a much lighter tone...

The Recruit is coming soon to Netflix. The streaming service has announced a premiere date for the new comedy-drama spy series with the release of a trailer. Noah Centineo (The Fosters) stars in the series created by Alexi Hawley. There will be eight episodes in the first season.

Laura Haddock, Aarti Mann, Colton Dunn, Fivel Stewart, Daniel Quincy Annoh, Kristian Bruun, Vondie Curtis Hall, Byron Mann, Angel Parker, and Kaylah Zander also star in the series which follows a rookie lawyer (Centineo) who works at the CIA and finds himself caught up in a spy plot.

The internet's love affair with Noah Centineo began somewhere between "The Fosters" and "To All The Boys I've Loved Before," both of which followed lovestruck teenage boys navigating classic high school drama. But ever since that Netflix trilogy came to a close, Centineo has been changing up his image to leave those schoolboy days behind. Shaving his head? Check. Co-starring in a superhero movie? Check. Taking the lead as a hero? Almost check. Bagging a crime thriller instead? That works! So I guess it's official — between his "Black Adam" stint as the young metahuman Atom Smasher and his upcoming role in Netflix's "The Recruit," Centineo has entered his action star era.

Inevitably, it's always hard to accept the next chapter of an actor's career, but that feels especially true for the performers whose signature role is a doe-eyed teenage boy. Personally, Centineo still falls in the same bucket as Tom Holland...

The official trailer for Netflix’s new spy series, “The Recruit”, starring Noah Centineo has arrived.

In the trailer, released today, fans can see the “To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before” actor take on the lead role of a 24-year-old rookie lawyer in the upcoming action-drama where “inexperience is an asset.”

Netflix has revealed an official trailer for a darkly comedic suspense series titled The Recruit, created by Alexi Hawley, of the "State of Affairs", "Castle", and "The Rookie" series previously. This one is about a young lawyer, not your typical CIA series, considering it's about someone trying to deal with the CIA's (internal) dirty laundry. A fledgling lawyer at the CIA, played by Noah Centineo (from To All the Boys I've Loved Before & Charlie's Angels), becomes enmeshed in dangerous international power politics when a former asset threatens to expose the nature of her long-term relationship with the agency unless they exonerate her of a serious crime. The series' cast also includes Laura Haddock, Aarti Mann, Colton Dunn, Fivel Stewart, Vondie Curtis Hall, Daniel Quincy Annoh, Kristian Bruun, Byron Mann, Angel Parker, & Kaylah Zander.

Fresh off “Black Adam,” Noah Centineo is back on Netflix, albeit in very different form. The “To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before” stars in the first trailer for “The Recruit,” a spy series heading to the streamer next month.
