The Recruit Season 2 will continue where the previous season left off, following the major cliffhanger that saw the Russian asset Max Meladze (Laura Haddock) being shot by her own daughter and leaving her life in the balance. Owen will go into life-threatening espionage in South Korea and learn that a bigger danger comes from inside the agency itself.
The series creator Alexi Hawley teased he would turn everything up to “11” in the next installment after seeing how invested the fans were in their adventurous take on the spy world. “I’m thrilled to dive back into the fun, funny, action-packed world of The Recruit,” he said. And just like fans, Centineo himself is also looking forward to seeing what Hawley has in store for everyone in the second season.
So far, Netflix has yet to reveal when The Recruit Season 2 will be released, but the series is now in production, and the filming is taking place in Vancouver, Canada, and Seoul, South Korea. With a number of new cast members joining the second season, fans need to see how they will all be connected to Owen.
