It is being reported that The Recruit has been cancelled by Netflix after two seasons. Cast member Colton Dunn took to social media this afternoon with the news, which comes a month after the spy drama released its 6-episode sophomore run.

"The Recruit has been cancelled yall," Dunn shared on Threads. "Such a bummer. I'll share some pics and fun memories on IG but just wanted you to hear it from me. Thanks if you watched. I'm AVAILABLE NOW! Hire me for you tv story!!"

Creator Alexi Hawley later posted a lengthy love letter to the show on X, detailing its journey to the small screen. He thanked the cast and crew, while also expressing that he'd be open to making a follow-up movie if the opportunity presented itself. Read the entire letter below.

Owen soon finds himself caught up in a dangerous world of power politics and mischievous players. With the stakes already high, he must now travel the world to complete his assignment and make his mark at the CIA.
