The hit Netflix spy series The Recruit is set to return for its highly-anticipated season 2 very soon. While Owen Hendricks is back in action, fans will be treated to a different mission.
While some of the details regarding the new season are still under wraps, we've seen some glimpses of Owen's overseas assignment and the new characters that we will meet along the way.
What is The Recruit Season 2 About?
Following the cliffhanger ending of the first season, The Recruit season 2 will see Owen Hendricks being pulled into life-threatening espionage in South Korea only to realize the bigger threat just might be coming from inside the agency.
"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," star Noah Centineo described his character's season 2 arc to Tudum.
"Owen is wondering how in the hell he is going to survive the next few seconds of his life."
Showrunner Alexi Hawley added, "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."
Who is Returning in The Recruit Season 2? Who is Joining the Cast?
Noah Centineo is expected to reprise his leading role of Owen Hendricks for the next chapter of the series.
Other returning cast members include Vondie Curtis-Hall, Aarti Mann, Colton Dunn, Fivel Stewart, Kristian Bruun, Kaylah Zander, Maddie Hasson, Angel Parker, Daniel Quincy Annoh, and Jesse Collin.
