The Recruit
WARNING : SPOILERS onwards for The Recruit season 2 .
The second season of Netflix ’s CIA action dramaThe Recruitsaw many interesting developments and introduce several unexampled characters , leave further elbow room to expand in a potential season 3 . Although Netflix has yet to formally greenlightThe Recruitseason 3 , it has been one of the most popular series on the cyclosis platform since its sack on January 30 , 2025 , which urinate its chance of renewal high . There was more than a two - twelvemonth gap betweenThe Recruitseasons 1 and 2 , which amazingly ensue in ashorter 6 - installment time of year 2 ofThe Recruitcompared to season 1 ’s 8 episodes .
GivenThe Recruit’snew season 2 fibre and update scene in South Korea , it appear that the popular Netflix serial publication is shoot more of an anthological approaching , similar to other action thriller series like Amazon Prime Video’sReacher . WhileThe Recruit’starget demographic is younger than"dad point " likeReacher , both follow a standardised formula , which works for viewers who love it but not so much for viewers search for smorgasbord . interchange the setting to South Korea inThe Recruitseason 2 was interesting butcreated an overstuffed time of year filled with novel and old characters , which needs improvement next time of year .
5Owen Should Train To Become A CIA Field Agent
Owen Hasn’t Done Anything For The CIA In His Actual Field
The most innate locating forThe Recruitseason 3 is for Noah Centineo ’s Owen Hendricks to take the proper breeding to become a CIA field factor . The series seems to have forgotten that Owen ’s a lawyerwho has just finished law schooltime , instead sending him out to deal with dangerous graymailers and other international threats without proper confidence or training .
Owen stumbles into most of his problems but at this point , he should just leave his lawyer pursuits behind .
While this happy - go - lucky eagerness is a appealing part of Owen ’s fictitious character , something eventually has to give withthe CIA letting an attorney with no field training run rampantunder their banner . Owen stumbles into most of his problems but at this distributor point , he should just leave his lawyer pursuits behind unless he want to quit the CIA ( which he wo n’t do because then there would be no show ) .

4Nathan Fillion’s CIA Director Should Have A Bigger Role
He’s One Of The Biggest Names But Has One Of The Smallest Roles
After two season , Nathan Fillion ’s CIA DirectorAlton West remain one of the most underutilized characters inThe Recruit . He was virtually absentminded from time of year 1 , appearing briefly inThe Recruitseason 1 finish , before taking on a marginally bigger role in season 2 . However , he was still very much a support character and did n’t add too much to the principal report .
Early tease about The Recruit season 3 indicate that the hit Netflix thriller serial could repeat the same magnanimous mistake as The Recruit time of year 2 .
reach that Fillion is one of the most recognizable worker in the serial , his larger persona as the CIA Director inThe Recruitwould course make sense , as he would become one of the independent face ofThe Recruit’sensemble cast . Giving Fillion a bigger role and more silver screen time would be an well-situated fix for reduce the various supporting character who work at The General Council , such as Violet , Nyland , and Amelia , whose storylines are less compelling and add jumble . Fillion could supervise Owen ’s field broker training , which would be a natural advance of his character .
3Hannah & Terence Need To Be More Involved
Their Dynamic Was One Of The Best Parts Of Season 1 – For Us & Owen
Owen constantly bumping into Hannah and Terence at their apartment was one of the best lineament of The Recruit season 1 . They both grounded Owen as his life became outright out of command since his first mean solar day at the CIA . The romantic tension between Hannah and Owen was enjoyable to rootle for , whileTerence contributed with his irrefutable push and political connexion . All of these attributes seemed to disappear inThe Recruitseason 2 .
The Recruit season 3 need to give one particular unmarked season 2 character a bigger platform after her key theatrical role in The Recruit season 1 .
The Recruitseason 3 has to find a way to incorporate Hannah and Terrence into the primary story naturally . Hannah ’s wealthy and influential family could become antagonists since there is already tangible tension there after her mom manipulated her for business amplification . Hannah may even have to opt between her mother and Owen , which could be riveting if it ’s fructify up right . Whatever the circumstances , feature less of Hannah and Terrence was one of the openhanded letdowns of season 2 . Hannah patently had the Jae office , but other than that , she ’s not apt to the story as is .
2The Recruit Season 3 Should Take Place In The U.S.
Going Abroad Again Would Bring In Too Many Characters To Balance
One of the dim-witted fixes for a lot ofThe Recruitseason 2 ’s issues would be to countersink the bulk of time of year 3 in the United States . Adding even more characters in season 3 will involve ignore some losses , which I would debate should come from The General Council crew . For example , I still do n’t understand why Violet has it out for Owenand do n’t understand her overall role in the series .
KeepingThe Recruitseason 3 in the U.S. would naturally lend the characters into the equation and admit Terence and Hannah to be more involved .
It ’s indecipherable whetherThe Recruitseason 3 will retain any of season 2 ’s new Korean characters . advert onto Yoo Jin or Jang Kyun is fine , but there ’s not enough room for all the time of year 1 and 2 characters , specially if they change over up the location again . KeepingThe Recruitseason 3 in the U.S. would naturally bring the characters into the par and tolerate Terence and Hannah to be more convoluted . Itwould also rationalise the General Council bunch ’s relevance , who felt like outlierswhen they were will in D.C. while Owen was globetrotting throughout time of year 2 .
1Max Has To Return & Take Down (Or Save) Nichka
Max & Nichka’s Backstory Has Not Been Explored Whatsoever
The Recruitseason 2 capture off on the ill-timed foot by not only killing Max but never explicate why Nichka killed her in the first place , leave her end incredibly and intolerably ambiguous . The amount of unaddressed backstory between Nichka and Maxcould be enough to fill up a six - instalment spinoff series . After Nichka ’s plan to stag Owen fails at theend ofThe Recruitseason 2 , she is taken by the KGB , which also pull in her time of year 3 destiny uncertain .
The enlistee season 3 has to bring back a primal character after dead throw away her without any explanation following The Recruit time of year 1 ’s finish .
The Recruitshouldn’t sink Nichka ’s storyline in season 3 , as she has a lot of potential difference and is already one of the best character . Max very much seem to be dead but her body was never shown afterThe Recruitseason 1 , which leavesthe tenuous prospect that she is somehow still aliveand escaped .
Even if Max returned in lengthened flashback scene , it could still fill in massive gaps in her backstory with Nichka .
More unrealistic thing have happened inThe Recruit – such as that U.S. Navy submarine emersion that came out of nowhere in the season 2 finale – than get Max restitution . Even if Max return in lengthy flashback fit , it could still fill in massive gaps in her backstory with Nichka and could finally excuse whyNichka , aka Karolina , killed her female parent without hesitation . The Recruitseason 3 should bring Max back , leaving her and Owen to either take down or deliver Nichka from the KGB .
