Netflix Release Time for Recruit Season 2

Anticipation has been building for over two years, but fans of The Recruit can rejoice—season 2 is just around the corner, set to launch on Netflix. The charming Noah Centineo, known for his roles in To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, reprises his role as CIA lawyer Owen Hendricks, following the surprising twists of the first season’s finale. Alongside him, the cast will see familiar faces like Hannah Copeland (Fivel Stewart), Lester Kitchens (Colton Dunn), and Walter Nyland (Vondie Curtis-Hall).

The first season, which debuted on Netflix in December 2022, comprised eight episodes, each lasting between 51 and 58 minutes. Interestingly, every episode title was an acronym—an approach that is likely to continue into the second season. During its launch week, The Recruit season 1 garnered an impressive viewership with nearly 96 million hours watched, but it maintained a mixed reception with a 68% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, setting the stage for its eagerly awaited sophomore season.

At the helm for season 2 is Alexi Hawley, the visionary behind the successful ABC series The Rookie, ensuring continuity and quality in storytelling.
