Netflix is re-enlisting The Recruit.
The streaming service has handed out a second-season renewal to the spy drama starring Noah Centineo.
From creator/showrunner/exec producer Alexi Hawley, The Recruit spent five weeks on Netflix’s global top 10 list, reaching the charts in 88 countries following its Dec. 16 debut.
“I’m thrilled to dive back into the fun, funny, action-packed world of The Recruit. Seeing how invested our audience became in the show’s adventurous take on the spy world and Noah’s turn as Owen has been incredibly rewarding, and I can’t wait to turn it all up to ‘11’ in season two,” Hawley said.
