The Recruit Season 2: Is the Show Up for a Renewal?
Official Status of Renewal: Pending(As of 2026 season 2 has been released)
Current Prediction for Renewal: Too early to say
After only the first weekend, it’s too soon to tell if this show will be renewed for a season 2. As of 2026, season 2 was already released on January 30 2025.
To make sure that this show sticks around for another season, the best thing you can do is to watch every episode till the finale and motivate others to follow suit.
Have we heard anything about season 2 yet? While Alexi Hawley hasn’t revealed any specific details, she has hinted that the cast and crew have been in conversations or at least put down a blueprint for it. But as of 2026 it has been revealed.
In an interview with Collider, Hawley discussed his expectations for season 1, expressing: “I know things about where I would want to take it, and where I’d want to go with it. I mean obviously, you hope for success, but as you could see with that ending, I didn’t plan for failure because I feel like in this day and age you just have to be bold, you have to be dramatic, to the expense of everything else. And you can’t worry about Season 2’s, or Season 3’s, or beyond. You have to go, “What’s the best version of this story right now?” And trust that people will come to it. And then you’ll get another shot at it.”
