The Recruit Season 2 Sends Owen to South Korea (Official Trailer)

Set to hit screens on January 30th, check out the official trailer for Netflix and Alexi Hawley's Noah Centineo-starring The Recruit.

When the second season of Netflix and Alexi Hawley's (ABC's The Rookie) Noah Centineo-starring The Recruit hits our screens on January 30th, don't expect things to get off to a quiet start. "Owen's headspace is complete chaos," shared Centineo about what's to come, which picks up directly from the finale of the first season. "He has just witnessed Max — the former CIA asset whom he almost died multiple times trying to protect — get shot by her daughter Nichka. Owen is wondering how in the hell he is going to survive the next few seconds of his life." Hawley added, "This show lives in propulsion. So we immediately throw Owen in the deep end, which is where he's the most fun. It seemed like a great way to start Season 2 — and then we just never let our foot off the gas."

When the hit streaming series returns, Owen (Centineo) finds himself pulled into a life-threatening espionage situation in South Korea, only to realize that the bigger threat just might be coming from inside the Agency. Now, we have a look at the official trailer and an updated image gallery that give a better sense of the scope of the danger that Owen finds himself in – and how he's going to need some help if he hopes to survive.
