Will ‘The Recruit’ Get a Season 2 on Netflix?

We can bet you are ready for the thrilling second season of Netflix’s 2022’s thriller series, ‘The Recruit’. In our review of the series, we talked about how the show was a fun watch even all with multiple flaws. We are certainly hoping for the renewal from Netflix. But will there be a second season 2 of ‘The Recruit’?

Starring Noah Centineo as Owen Hendricks, a young and newly appointed lawyer thrust into a CIA conspiracy plot, the show’s eight episodes dropped on December 16th, 2022 and it climbed to Netflix’s Top 10 charts in multiple countries around the globe. Despite the high popularity, will the series even get a second season by Netflix?

The show’s creator, Alexi Hawley, is no stranger to creating hits like The Rookie, The Following, and Body of Proof. Production sources from the show have expressed positive sentiment that they plan on moving forward with a season 2, however, Netflix has yet to officially renew or comment on the future of The Recruit.

The Recruit first season has been met with generally positive reviews, with IMDb users giving it a 7.5 score, and Rotten Tomatoes critics giving it a 67% score, which was 75% at launch. Rotten Tomatoes audience members have responded particularly positively, with an 86% score, and Metacritic also giving the show a 59/100.

Overall, The Recruit has been well-received and was one of the most popular shows of the past year.

The show’s first season ends with a major twist: Karolina shoots Max, leaving viewers wondering if she is dead or not. This question will be answered in the hopefully upcoming season 2.

It’s predicted the show will bring back its cast of Noah Centineo, Aarti Mann, Colton Dunn, and Fivel Stewart. Fans can expect Owen to be more prepared for more high risk missions if second season of the show gets the green signal from Netflix.

We’ll have to wait and see if The Recruit gets a second season, but as of now, fans of the show are crossing their fingers for a renewal.
