Now streaming on Netflix is the action-packed spy drama The Recruit, starring Noah Centineo. Let’s dig deep into The Recruit Season 2.
There’s a brand new take on Noah in the Netflix series, which debuted yesterday (16 December). The star of “To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before” plays Owen Hendricks, a young lawyer for the CIA who is thrust into the realm of international espionage. Warns of impending spoilers.
Still, given that it’s a spy show and all, the season one finale left us with a TON of unanswered concerns, the most pressing of which is: Will Owen get away from Karolina? How’s Max doing? What happens between Owen and Hannah?
Not surprisingly, fans are already demanding a second season in order to get the answers they crave. But in the meanwhile, this summary will walk you through how The Recruit ends.
The Recruit Ending Explained
In retrospect, Owen and Max’s season-ending assignment took them to Prague. But when Max arranges to meet a group of Russians, the encounter quickly escalates into a gunfight.
In the process of trying to aid them, Owen reveals that Nichka was a member of the group firing at them, but Max is able to scare Owen and Nicka away.
Then, we witness Owen’s astonishment as he tries to accept the reality that he killed a guy. Owen, upset, threatens to quit the CIA, prompting Max to point her gun at him. However, it’s obvious that Max can’t bring herself to actually shoot Owen.
Briefly, the focus of the finale shifts to Owen and his ex-girlfriend Hannah. Owen was supposed to meet Hannah in the street, but as he got closer, a black sedan pulled up and whisked him away, right in front of her eyes.
Together with Max, Owen is bound to a chair by their kidnappers, who remain at first nameless. The culprit then reveals herself to be a mystery blonde woman named Marta. Max, however, clearly recognizes her because she first addresses her kidnapper as “Karolina” before switching to Russian.
Karolina shoots Max in a shocking change of events, and the episode ends with us not knowing if Max is dead or not.
Finally, Karolina asks Owen the most shocking question of the series: “If I may ask, who are you? And why the hell are you out here chasing after my mom?” Argh!
With that, the series finale comes to a close, and yes, we do have a lot of unanswered questions. Let’s hope season two brings some much-needed closure. Aspirational possibilities exist.
You can watch The Recruit right now on Netflix.
Is There Any News Of The Recruit Season 2 From Netflix?
Netflix has not yet decided whether to cancel or renew The Recruit for a second season, but it will be closely watching viewing over the next month or so to make its decision.
Given Hawley’s track record, it’s safe to assume that The Recruit will have more than one season, and perhaps even more than that because the premise has so much room to grow.
When fresh details about the future of The Recruit become available, we will post them here.
Who may we see in a recurring role on The Recruit if there were a second season?
The full cast list is unknown until season two is officially confirmed. However, first and foremost, we anticipate Noah Centineo’s return as Owen Hendricks.

As for Max Meladze, he’s a character whose status is murky (played by Laura Haddock). In the final episode of Season 1, Max is shot by Karolina, who is revealed to be her own daughter. There isn’t enough follow-up for us to know if Max survived or not. Even if she survives, we might only see Laura Haddock again in reminiscences.
In Season 2 of “The Recruit,” does Owen finally decide to leave the CIA?
Will Owen Leave the CIA in “The Recruit” Season 2?
Owen knew he would cross the line between psychopath and survivor if he stayed in the CIA. The organization’s culture inevitably affected mental health. Owen decided he didn’t want to prove anything to anyone.
He wanted to go home, but he was caught in the cobweb and couldn’t get out. He wanted to leave the CIA, but it might be too late. He had to work for the group because he knew several governmental secrets.
He should have realized he was doomed when he discovered that graymail and didn’t ignore it. He was kidnapped by Karolina, and in Season 2’s “The Recruit,” we saw him escape and save his life. He will probably become like Max and other operators to survive in such mayhem.
In Season 2, Hannah may join the CIA. She was the only witness to Owen’s kidnapping, therefore even if she didn’t want to work with the CIA permanently, she would work with them to save Owen. She definitely hadn’t moved on, so she may get back with her ex-boyfriend in Season 2 of “The Recruit.”
Everyone from the CIA General Council to the White House Chief of Staff possessed secrets. Dawn Gilbane ran ghost assets and embezzled monies. To become the Moscow region’s chief, she would do anything.
Owen thought he could force Dawn to do something by telling her he knew about her corruption. Dawn and her men were probably closest to Karoline’s abduction of Owen and Max. In Season 2, Dawn may lead her forces to rescue Max and Owen from the Russian Mafia. We hope Netflix renews “The Recruit” for a second season.
