We spoke w/ 'The Recruit' creator Alexi Hawley about working with 'The Bourne Identity's Doug Liman on the series.
[This interview contains spoilers for the last episode of The Recruit]Created by Alexi Hawley, Netflix’s latest action-packed series, The Recruit, is a refreshing break from tradition when it comes to gritty spy series. Instead of a confident, seasoned spy as the central character, The Recruit has Owen Hendricks leading the way. Owen is a fresh-faced CIA lawyer, who only recently graduated from law school, who gets caught up in some dangerous stuff.
And then in terms of the millennials, I mean that was, to me, the heart of this show is that instead of coming at it through a 30-something-year-old spy who's really good at his job, to come at it through a kid right out of law school who, he's barely gotten his jacket off before he starts down this rabbit hole. But who has roommates, who has complicated relationships, who has romance and all that stuff, also felt like a fresh take on a spy show.
HAWLEY: We were shooting up in Montreal over winter, which is, at best, freezing and at worst like negative 20. So there were a lot of adjustments that had to be made over time. We also had planned to do a lot of shooting overseas, on location, and COVID really hurt us on that. We were going to go to Morocco for some stuff, but they literally closed their borders because of COVID, and so we ended up having to make adjustments and shoot a lot of stuff in Montreal.
And Noah's an executive producer on the show, and he was very involved in the casting process and was very generous with his time. He would read with the actors and do chemistry reads because it was important to surround him. Because even though he is the lead of the show, there is a strong ensemble and we found phenomenal actors to fill those roles. And so it was a lot of fun to go through that process with him.
