Noah Centineo’s New Netflix Present ‘The Recruit’ Was Filmed In These eight Montreal Spots

Noah Centineo fans rejoice! The young actor is back on our screens in The Recruit as a CIA lawyer whose first week on the job takes an unexpected turn. Already trending at number one on Netflix Canada, the thriller series is all the more special because it was filmed in Montreal.

The story follows Owen Hendricks (Centineo), who finds himself caught up in a case involving threatening letters from a former CIA agent. Max Meladze, played by Laura Haddock, is blackmailing the agency, seeking her release from jail. The first season of the series also features Canadian actors Kristian Bruun and Kaylah Zander.

You might recognize Montreal in some of the show’s epic action sequences.
