Netflix’s action-packed spy thriller The Recruit returned for Season 2 on January 30, 2024. If you’ve already binge-watched all six episodes, you’re probably wondering whether a third season is on the way. Here’s everything we know so far about The Recruit Season 3, including updates from Netflix and insights from the show’s creator, Alexi Hawley.
Will There Be a Season 3 of The Recruit?
As of now, Netflix has not officially renewed The Recruit for a third season. The streaming platform typically evaluates viewership data over a few weeks or months before making a decision.
Season 2 premiered strongly, ranking in the Top 3 on Netflix’s U.S. streaming charts on January 31, just behind The Night Agent, which has already been renewed for Season 3.
Series creator Alexi Hawley remains optimistic, telling Deadline, “There’s a lot of goodwill inside Netflix towards the show and towards [lead actor] Noah [Centineo]. I’m feeling super positive about it.”
What Could Happen in The Recruit Season 3?
While there’s no script yet, Hawley hinted at potential storylines for a third season. At the end of Season 2, Owen Hendricks’ future with the CIA remains uncertain after surviving yet another high-stakes mission. His relationships within the agency are also complicated, especially after Lester’s betrayal.
Hawley teased that Season 3 could explore the impact of Owen’s recent victory. “The irony is, if you win, nothing else matters. That win could reverse everything that happened,” he explained.
Where Will Season 3 Take Place?
The previous season was filmed in South Korea, and Hawley hopes to continue shooting internationally. He suggested that new locations like Latin America or Africa could be exciting settings for future episodes.
Returning cast members
Fans can look forward to the possible return of key cast members should The Recruit Season 3 go ahead. In addition to Centineo, Aarti Mann, Colton Dunn, Fivel Stewart, Kristian Bruun, and Vondie Curtis-Hall all reprise their roles, contributing to the series’ success in its first two seasons.
