Renewed Or Cancelled?
The Recruit is a spy-related show that follows Owen Hendricks as he starts his job as a rookie lawyer at the CIA headquarters. It’s thrilling, fast-paced and incredibly moreish!
After completing the first two seasons, you may be wondering if this has been renewed or cancelled. Here’s what we know:
What is The Recruit about?
Owen Hendricks, a rookie CIA lawyer finds himself getting baptized with fire on his first week at the job after discovering a former asset is threatening the agency. He finds himself in too deep and tries his best to survive the cutthroat business of international intelligence gathering. Season 2 then expands this storyline, with plenty of twists and turns along the way, making for quite the nail-biting thrill ride!
We have extensive coverage of The Recruit across the site, including a full season review and recaps for every episode. You can find those HERE!
Has The Recruit been renewed for season 3?
At the time of writing, The Recruit has not been renewed for season 3. Generally Netflix would gauge numerous metrics before renewing a show, including how many people initially watch it and then looking at the drop-off rate.
With some shows, cancellations or renewals happen quickly. Other times, it can take months before a decision over a show’s future is made. So far, The Recruit has had a very good reaction online from critics and audiences alike, with many pointing out its great tone and intriguing characters.
Given the way this show is set up, and the ending we receive, we’re predicting that this will be renewed for a third season. Netflix are quite hit or miss with their cancellations, but we also know that heavy hitters like Stranger Things and Squid Game are coming to an end this year, and Netflix need new shows to fill that spot.
However, we could be completely wrong too, but as soon as we know for sure, we’ll update this page.
What we know about season 3 so far:
Barely anything is known about The Recruit season 3 at this point. The ending does leave room for a sequel, and if this should return, you can expect another 6 episode structure and a return of the same cast and crew from before.
However, we’ll have to wait and see when this materializes. Either way, we’ll be sure to update this page when more information becomes available.
