Netflix has officially unveiled the release date for The Recruit Season 2 with a slew of first-look photos showing Noah Centineo‘s return as CIA lawyer Owen Hendricks.
The second season of the spy thriller is set to throw Centineo’s Owen Hendricks into yet another dangerous situation, this time in South Korea. It will pick up after the cliffhanger ending from the first season.
“He has just witnessed Max — the former CIA asset whom he almost died multiple times trying to protect — get shot by her daughter Nichka. Owen is wondering how in the hell he is going to survive the next few seconds of his life,” Centineo told Tudum.
When is the release date for The Recruit Season 2?
The Recruit Season 2 is scheduled to arrive on the streamer on January 3, 2025, over two years after the first season debuted in 2022. The second season was supposed to come out early, though it was delayed by the Hollywood strikes.
Centineo will be joined by Past Lives star Teo Yoo as The Recruit newcomer Teo Yoo. The award-winning actor will be playing Jang Kyun Kim, a skilled South Korean NIS agent “with a subversive sense of humor.”
Nathan Fillion, who made a guest appearance in Season 1, is also returning as CIA Director Alton West.

Rounding out the Season 2 cast are Young-Ah Kim, Felix Solis, James Purefoy, Shin Do-hyun, Sanghee Lee, Omar Maskati, Brooke Smith, Devika Bhise, and Alana Hawley Purvis.
Per the show’s logline, The Recruit “centers around Owen Hendricks, a young CIA lawyer whose first week on the job turns upside down when he discovers a threatening letter by former asset Max Meladze (Laura Haddock), who plans to expose the agency unless they exonerate her of a serious crime. Owen quickly becomes entangled in a dangerous and often absurd world of power politics and mischievous players, as he travels the world in hopes of completing his assignment and making a mark at the CIA.”
All six episodes of The Recruit Season 2 arrive on Netflix on January 30.
