Netflix has just dropped the brand-new trailer for The Recruit Season 2, which stars Noah Centineo. The new season will be available on January 30, 2025, and there will be six hour-long episodes. This season follows CIA lawyer Owen Hendricks, played by Centineo, as he tries to navigate a perilous espionage situation in South Korea.

The trailer of The Recruit season 2 is filled with a punky version of Green Day's "American Idiot," so this season promises to be full of energy. This narrative also makes it seem as though there's much more danger hidden in the Agency than Owen is up against.

The Recruit premiered on December 16, 2022, and went viral in no time, with five weeks on the Netflix TV Global Top 10 across 88 countries. The series is about Owen Hendricks, a young CIA lawyer who gets caught up in espionage on his first attempt. Owen has to face some life-threatening situations in Season 2 as well, where his skills and will are put to the test.
