December 2022. A few days before the end of the year, Netflix offered its subscribers a new spy series hosted by Noah Centineo. From the actor, we mostly knew his roles in romantic comedies (All the Boys I Loved), but a little less his love for stunts.
If the press judged The Recruit quite harshly, Netflix subscribers were engaged in the story of this somewhat clumsy, but very intelligent CIA lawyer. All it takes is for the platform to renew it for Season 2 a few weeks after its launch. So Owen will be back on our screens… but when?
That’s the question we asked his translator, who was passing through France in early July. The actress was a member of the jury of Nouvelles Vagues in Biarritz, which we attended. And he answered us with a lot of evil.
“Hopefully we will shoot and finish it soon. Negotiations are now underway. We have to shoot season 2 this year and it should be out next year. Very exciting! I want to say more but I think I will have problems! (laughs)“.
A statement that comes as no surprise since Season 1 was released less than a year ago. But as Centineo points out when he talks about the negotiations, the writers’ strike across the Atlantic (and perhaps the upcoming actors’ strike) isn’t likely to help Netflix’s business. If this continues, the chances that The Recruit Season 2 will be released in 2024 will gradually decrease.
What will we see in season 2 of The Recruit?
The Netflix series ended with the identity of a minor character closely tied to Max’s past. Owen was left chained to the chair, unable to escape. And this will only be the beginning of his ordeal, if Noah Centineo is to be believed: “Owen is going to be in even more trouble than he was in season one, even if we didn’t think that was possible. If there are problems, he will find them“.
