With some help from Teo Yoo, who plays newcomer Jang Kyun, Owen begins a covert operation for the Central Intelligence Agency, despite the fact that he's a lawyer.
“We’re all either going to be dead or heroes,” Centineo says to which his boss, Vondie Curtis-Hall’s Walter Nyland, responds: “But you’re not a hero.”
The two-and-a-half minute look at the second season sees Owen in several perilous positions (similar to the first season), including a fight in a Korean club where he is seemingly captured, being arrested at another point, being machine gunned and jumping off a yacht.
“They are going to spill every secret we busted our nuts to keep secret,” Nathan Fillion’s CIA Director Alton West says in the trailer when he finds out about Owen’s covert mission.
According to the synopsis, in season two, Owen is drawn into a life-threatening espionage situation, only to realize that the bigger threat may come from within the agency.
Yoo joined the series for the second season as a Korean intelligence agent, and he and Centineo found each other during filming.
“Rhythm and chemistry are tough phenomenons to have control over,” the star and executive producer told Tudum. “But, thankfully, I was very fortunate to have a partner in Teo for season two.”
But creator and showrunner Alexi Hawley stresses that this season is "not a buddy comedy between Owen and Jang Kyun."
“Somebody who will do anything for love is dangerous,” he also told Tudum. “But Owen and Jang Kyun have great energy together. There’s a push and a pull, which is just sort of organic to them.”
The Recruit season two will be released on Netflix on Thursday, January 30.
