The Recruit fans are blaming The Night Agent for the show’s cancelation: “It’s Netflix’s fault for releasing at the same time”

Earlier this week, 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. Noah Centineo plays CIA lawyer Owen Hendricks, whose life is turned upside down when he becomes entangled in an international conspiracy. Although the show debuted in the Netflix top 10 upon release on January 30, it was competing with another spy thriller.
