‘The Recruit’ Season 2 Trailer: Noah Centineo’s Owen Goes Rogue in South Korea (VIDEO)
The Recruit‘s Owen Hendricks (Noah Centineo) isn’t a newbie anymore as he prepares to make his Season 2 return on Netflix.
The streamer has unveiled the premiere date, trailer, key art, and several first-look photos for the latest season of Alexi Hawley‘s spy series which will take viewers to South Korea. As The Recruit‘s Season 2 logline teases, CIA lawyer Own Hendricks has been pulled into a life-threatening espionage situation in South Korea, only to realize that the bigger threat might be coming from inside the Agency.
As Centineo, who also serves as an executive producer teases via Netflix’s Tudum, “Owen’s headspace is complete chaos. He has just witnessed Max — the former CIA asset whom he almost died multiple times trying to protect — get shot by her daughter Nichka. Owen is wondering how in the hell he is going to survive the next few seconds of his life.”
As Centineo mentioned, above, Max’s (Laura Haddock) fate was uncertain at the end of Season 1, leaving Owen to face Nichka (Maddie Hasson). “Owen rolls into this season basically screwed. Owen knows that if he does not walk away with a win this season, his career is going to be over. He might go to prison. Depending on what people are into, they can show up this season for the big, flashy, splashy action stuff, but they can also be on a journey with this guy who’s just trying to fix something that he broke,” showrunner Hawley shared with Tudum.
Season 2 will officially premiere on Thursday, January 30, with six hour-long episodes landing on Netflix that day. In addition to featuring Centineo and Hasson, Season 2’s regular cast includes Teo Yoo, Aarti Mann, Colton Dunn, Fivel Stewart, Kristian Bruun, Kaylah Zander, Angel Parker, and Vondie Curtis-Hall.
Hailing from Lionsgate television, The Recruit Season 2 is executive produced by Centineo, Hawley, Doug Liman, Gene Klein, David Bartis, Adam Ciralsky, Charlie Ebersol, and Julian Holmes.
