At long last, Noah Centineo’s Owen Hendricks is back for more action, intrigue, and close shaves in The Recruit Season 2! After several delays brought on by the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strike, the CIA lawyer-turned-secret-agent travels to South Korea, where his most intense assignment awaits, enemies become partners, and sleep is the most precious commodity. For the latest Netflix action-oriented junket, the streamer arranged a double bill between The Recruit and The Night Agent, starring Gabriel Basso as FBI agent Peter Sutherland. Both seasons go hard in the paint to bring audiences a thrilling ride behind enemy lines, and today, we’re excited to share our interview with The Recruit stars Noah Centineo and Teo Yoo, who plays Jang Kyun Kim, Owen’s Seoul mate, if you will.
During our chat with Noah and Teo, they discuss the art of portraying exhaustive travel, getting punchy during extensive shoots, and the benefits and beauty of filming in South Korea. Noah and Teo also reveal their different approaches to the show’s action, as Owen and Jang exhibit radically different fighting styles. We discuss Owen’s next steps, Jang’s possibility of following him on his next assignment, and how The Recruit delivers a serious plot with a sense of humor and fun intact.
Here’s the official logline for The Recruit Season 2 courtesy of Netflix:
