Noah Centineo is back in action as CIA lawyer Owen Hendricks in The Recruit Season 2, and let’s just say—things are getting intense! Picking up right where the first season left off, the new season wastes no time throwing Owen into danger, with a Russian mafia enforcer literally holding a gun to his head. Talk about a warm welcome!
In a juicy chat with Deadline, Centineo dished on the show’s fast-paced six-episode run, calling it an upgrade that makes the storyline even more gripping. And just when you thought Season 2 couldn’t get wilder, he admitted he was shocked by Dawn’s death and Nichika’s brutal moves. Plus, filming inside a nuclear submarine? Epic.
But what about Owen’s surprisingly killer combat skills? Centineo teased that his character’s military family background—and some youthful aggression—could explain his ability to throw down like a pro.
As for Owen’s love life? Don’t hold your breath! Centineo confessed romance isn’t on the cards right now (dangerous job, crazy hours—you get it). But his hopeless romantic side is definitely rooting for Jang Kyun.
