Caroline Brew editor Teo Yoo (“Past Lives,” “Love to Hate You”) has been cast as a series regular in Season 2 of Netflix‘s “The Recruit.” He will play a highly skilled South Korean NIS agent “with a subversive sense of humor and willing to go to any lengths to protect those he cares about,” according to the release. Per the official logline, Season 2 of “The Recruit” finds Noah Centineo‘s CIA lawyer, Owen Hendricks, “pulled into a life-threatening espionage situation in South Korea, only to realize that the bigger threat just might be coming from inside the Agency.” Yoo was recently nominated for the best lead performance Independent Spirit Award via his role in Celine Song’s “Past Lives,” starring opposite Greta Lee.
He also appeared in Park Chan-Wook’s romantic mystery “Decision to Leave.” His other film credits include “Leto,” “Black Money,” “Vertigo” and “Seoul Searching.” As for television, he portrayed the lead role in Netflix Korea’s “Love to Hate You,” in addition to appearing in “Dr. Brain,” “The Window,” “Monday Game,” “Vagabond,” “The Cravings,” “Arthdal Chronicles” and “Chocolate.” Season 1 of “The Recruit” began with Owen discovering a letter during his first week on the job from former asset Max Meladze (Laura Haddock), threatening to reveal the agency’s secrets to the world unless they exonerate her of a serious crime.
As he attempts to complete his assignment and make his mark at the CIA, Owen is thrown into a dangerous world of high-power politics and players. The series was created by showrunner Alexi Hawley and is executive produced by Centineo, Doug Liman, Gene Klein, David Bartis, Adam Ciralsky, Charlie Ebersol and Julian Holmes.
