Official renewal status: Renovated

Ahead of the official renewal, we’ve heard positive rumors from production sources in Canada that they plan to move forward with a Season 2 a month after launch; Netflix officially confirmed season 2 on January 26, 2023.

In a statement about the renewal, Alexi Hawley said:

“I am delighted to once again dive into the fun, funny and action-packed world of The Recruit. Seeing how invested our audience became in the show’s adventurous take on the world of spies and Noah’s role as Owen has been incredibly rewarding, and I can’t wait to turn it all into “11” in season two.”

Centineo will return as executive producer and will reprise his role as Owen Hendricks.

Hawley will return as Showrunner with Hypnotic’s Doug Liman, Gene Klein and David Bartis; Adam Ciralsky (P3 Media) and Charlie Ebersol also return as executive producers.

Prior to the revamp, Alexi Crawley hinted that talks had taken place or a plan for the future had been laid out.

in a collider interviewHawley spoke about his attitude going into season 1 about future iterations, saying:

“I know things about where I would like to take it and where I would like to go with it. I mean, obviously, you expect success, but as you can see with that ending, I didn’t plan for failure because I feel like in this day and age you just have to be bold, you have to be dramatic, at the expense. from everything else. And you can’t worry about Season 2, Season 3, or beyond. You have to say, “What is the best version of this story right now?” And trust that people will come to it. And then you’ll have another chance.”

We want to point out that since the release of The Recruit, Noah Centineo has released a production company called Arkhum Productions.

Let’s break down the show’s review scores so far (correct as of January 20, 2023):

  • IMDb User Score: 7.5
  • Rotten Tomatoes Critics Score: 67% (75% at launch)
  • Rotten Tomatoes Audience Score: 86%

that’s good the recruit acting on netflix?

Now, a month later, we have a pretty clear picture of how well the recruit is acting on Netflix.

Let’s first look at the hourly data published by Netflix’s Top 10 site so far.

So far, the show has been featured in the five weeks since its launch. In total, the show has amassed 228.26 million hours watched worldwide.

week periodHours seen (M)RangeWeek in the Top 10
December 11, 2022 to December 18, 202252,300,0003one
December 18, 2022 to December 25, 202295,590,000 (+83%)32
December 25, 2022 to January 1, 202343,360,000 (-55%)53
January 1, 2023 to January 8, 202323,580,000 (-46%)64
January 8, 2023 to January 15, 202313,430,000 (-43%)105

Weeks 2 and 3 will be critical, so despite an 83% increase, we’ll keep an eye on week 3.

As we’ve discussed before, one possible glitch with the program is that in week 3, it dropped 55%. We have observed that programs with a drop of more than 50% sometimes have difficulty renewing.

So, in terms of CVE hours (Full View Equivalent: Netflix raw hours figure divided by program run time), how does it stack up against the competition?

Based on our top 10 reports for 2022 (with some estimates in play), we can see the recruit firmly at the cutoff point for cancellations. In the renewal table below only Month it had fewer hours and has been publicly renewed.

what to expect from the recruit season 2

Let’s quickly recap the events of Season 1.

In episode 8, titled WTFIOH (Who the Hell Is Owen Hendricks?), the mission to get Max to Russia continues and just when things seem to be coming to an end, complications arise. He also saw the clash of Owen’s personal and professional life.

Season 1 concludes with a big twist; Karolina shoots Max, but is she dead herself? That will undoubtedly be the pivotal question answered in Season 2.

The finale then sees Owen reaching out to Hannah to meet abroad, which concludes the series.

According to Netflix, the second season will pick up last season’s cliffhanger finale that found Owen and Max captured with their lives on the line.

He RadioTimes speculates that we will see the return of Noah Centineo in a second season, as well as Aarti Mann, Colton Dunn and Fivel Stewart. They also predict the same as us in the sense that “Owen Hendricks would launch into another high-stakes mission, although this time he might be a little more prepared for the experience.”
