“I got this,” Noah Centineo‘s rookie CIA lawyer Owen Hendricks tells his boss Walter Nyland who sends him to “go save the day” in the trailer for the upcoming second season of Netflix‘s spy thriller series The Recruit, which premieres Jan. 30.
Set to a Korean cover of Green Day’s “American Idiot,” the trailer reveals more about the Season 2 premise about Owen being “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.”
Nathan Fillion’s CIA Director Alton West warns that “they are going to spill every secret we busted our nuts to keep secret,” with Owen and Co. given “48 hours to stop an all-out war.”
The trailer, which you can watch above, also introduces Season 2 series regular Teo Yoo as Jang Kyun Kim who partners with Centineo’s Owen for some Rush Hour-style buddy action sequences. As the trailer states, “Saving the world takes a pair.”
Newly released Season 2 photos, which you can see below, shed more light on Owen’s time in Korea, with the always-stressed Janus possibly joining him on the mission as the two are seen on a plane together in one image, and Jang is standing in front of photos of both Owen and Janus in another. One of the images hints at the resolution of the Season 1 cliffhanger, with Owen seen walking alongside Dawn while Nichika is being led handcuffed.
As Deadline reported last month, Season 2 of The Recruit consists of six episodes, down from 8 in Season 1. (We recently examined the trend of sophomore streaming shows getting trimmed sophomore seasons.)
In addition to Centineo, Yoo is joining returning The Recruit series regulars Aarti Mann, Colton Dunn, Fivel Stewart, Kristian Bruun, Kaylah Zander, Hasson, Angel Parker and Vondie Curtis-Hall. Additional key cast members include Young-Ah Kim, Felix Solis, James Purefoy, Do Hyun Shin, Sanghee Lee, Omar Maskati, Brooke Smith, Devika Bhise, Alana Hawley Purvis, Daniel Quincy Annoh, Jesse Collin and Fillion.
Series creator Alexi Hawley serves as showrunner and executive produces with Centineo, Doug Liman, Gene Klein, David Bartis, Adam Ciralsky, Charlie Ebersol and Julian Holmes. Lionsgate Television is the studio.
