Noah Centineo’s Netflix spy series “The Recruit” is headed to Seoul in its second season.

The show’s Season 2 trailer — fittingly soundtracked to Green Day’s “American Idiot” — sees CIA lawyer Owen Hendricks (Centineo) embarking on a new thrilling adventure in South Korea alongside “Past Lives” actor Teo Yoo. According to an official synopsis, the next chapter sees 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.”
