    'The Recruit' Canceled at Netflix After Two Seasons
    ---------------------------------------------------
    Netflix's espionage dramedy "The Recruit" has been canceled
    after two seasons with the streamer, Variety has confirmed.

    Colton Dunn, who played former CIA operative Lester Kitchens
    on the show, took to Threads Wednesday night to announce the
    news.

    "'The Recruit' has been cancelled y'all," he wrote. "Such a
    bummer. I'll share some pics and fun memories on IG but just
    wanted you to hear it from me. Thanks if you watched. I'm
    AVAILABLE NOW! Hire me for you tv story!!"

    "The Recruit" ran for 14 episodes across two seasons, first
    premiering in December of 2022. According to the official
    logline, the series followed, "Owen Hendricks (Noah Centineo),
    a CIA lawyer [who] becomes involved in massive international
    conflicts with dangerous parties after an asset tries to
    expose her relationship to the agency."

    Other cast members include Aarti Mann, Fivel Stewart, Vondie
    Curtis-Hall, Kaylah Zander, Kristian Bruun, Angel Parker and
    Jesse Collin. "The Recruit" was created by Alexi Hawley, who
    also served as showrunner and executive producer. Hypnotic
    and Lionsgate produced the show for Netflix. Executive
    producers included Centineo, Doug Liman, Gene Klein, David
    Bartis, Adam Ciralsky, Charlie Ebersol and Julian Holmes.
    Season 2 directors included Hawley, Holmes, Jessica Yu, Viet
    Nguyen and John Hyams.

    In February, Variety reported that "The Recruit" Season 2,
    which was named one of Variety's most anticipated shows of
    2025, debuted with 5.9 million views in its first four days on
    Netflix. It landed in second place on the English-language TV
    chart, only falling behind "The Night Agent" Season 2, which
    hit 15.2 million views.
