Netflix just canceled “The Recruit” in a stunning move.
Cast member Colton Dunn broke the news onThreadsrevealing that the spy show was canceled despite a stellar season 2.
For those who had followed the show like myself, this was a shocking announcement.
“The Recruit” season 2has been widely praised.
I recommended it in my reviewfor Tom’s Guide and it scored a 92% fresh rating onRotten Tomatoes.
It also seemed to be a commercial success.
The show spent three weeks in the Netflix Global top 10, peaking at No.
2 the week it came out (Jan. 27-Feb. 2).
It unsurprisingly took the No.
1 spot the week it debuted on Netflix, but it then kept the No.
1 spot a week later when “The Recruit” season 2 was released.
It’s not impossible that this was a more nuanced business decision.
