Netflix just canceled "The Recruit" in a stunning move. Cast member Colton Dunn broke the news on Threads revealing that the spy show was canceled despite a stellar season 2. "You can’t cancel the memories," the Lester Kitchens actor declared while sharing some behind-the-scenes photos from the show's two-season run.

Responses to the show’s return were generally positive, but many drew comparisons to The Night Agent, a more successful spy thriller that returned for a second season just before The Recruit. They’re blaming the streamers’ scheduling decision for “unfairly” putting the writing on the wall for the show.

The Recruit and The Night Agent remain available to stream on Netflix and fans can watch both their favourite spy thriller for now.

The Recruit joined the list of canceled TV shows in 2025 – and fans think Netflix's scheduling is to blame. The espionage series was axed by Netflix just over a month after the second season dropped on the streamer.
