The Recruit cast: Who stars in the Netflix spy thriller?
By Mads Lennon
The Recruit is a new spy-adventure series coming to Netflix on December 16, 2022, starring Noah Centineo, Fivel Stewart, Laura Haddock, and more. Centineo plays a rookie CIA lawyer who finds his life turned upside down when he has to investigate a former CIA asset who demands exoneration at the threat of exposing dangerous agency secrets.
Not long after Owen is chosen to handle this sensitive case, he is thrust into a web of international politics and espionage that might prove to be more than he can handle.
Easily the most recognizable face in The Recruit cast (especially for Netflix fans) is Noah Centineo, who stars as a CIA lawyer named Owen Hendricks. Centineo’s first big role came from the Freeform series The Fosters.
Later, he became a Netflix darling after starring in the rom-com trilogy To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before. Since then, he has starred in several Netflix films, such as The Perfect Date and Sierra Burgess Is a Loser. Most recently, he made his debut as Albert Rothstein/Atom Smasher in the DC movie Black Adam.
Below we’ll detail who else stars in the new Netflix series.
