The Recruit was among Netflix’s top 10 TV titles following its season two debut. While the reason for the cancellation wasn’t immediately clear, renewals are typically based on a combination of factors, including creative vision, how well the show satisfies the intended audience and economics.

Despite generating billions of minutes viewed, and nearly topping the streaming charts, Netflix has cancelled The Recruit after two seasons.

Despite critical acclaim and good public ratings, one of the Netflix's best spy thrillers got axed one month after Season 2's release.
