Netflix Users Blame The Night Agent for Unfair Cancellation of Favorite Show

Fans of the spy drama “The Recruit” were left disappointed after actor Colton Dunn shared the news that the show had been cancelled. This announcement sparked outrage among viewers who felt that the series was overshadowed by the similar show “The Night Agent.”

“The Recruit” followed a CIA lawyer played by Noah Centineo as he navigated international tensions in Russia and later in South Korea in its second season. Despite receiving positive feedback upon its return in January 2025, many fans couldn’t help but draw comparisons to “The Night Agent,” which also debuted its second season around the same time.

Viewers took to social media to express their frustration, with some blaming the proximity of the two shows’ releases for the cancellation of “The Recruit.” One fan even admitted to constantly confusing the two series, suggesting that this may have sealed the fate of the show.

Creator Alexi Hawley expressed his disappointment about the cancellation but hinted at the possibility of wrapping up the story with a film. He encouraged those who haven’t watched the show yet to give it a chance, promising an exciting and action-packed ride.

Netflix has not yet provided a comment on the situation. It seems that fans of “The Recruit” are not ready to say goodbye just yet and are eagerly awaiting any updates on the show’s future.
