Noah Centineo broke out with “To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before.” In 2025 he will show the public even more of his range.

Noah Centineo is more than an internet buddy. The last six years of his career have shown that.

After you’ve made the audience swoon To all the boys I loved beforeCentineo has built a renowned career even beyond his heartthrob status. With three big-name projects coming in 2025, Centineo’s new year will be filled with a variety of roles, each more different than the next.

The 28 year old actor returns as beloved jock Peter Kavinsky in season 2 of XO, Kittywhich will be released on Netflix on January 16. Two weeks later, on January 30, the second season of The recruitproduced by Centineo director and starring him as a CIA lawyer, debuts on the streamer. The trailer of A24’s gripping drama Warfarewith a cast of fellow internet friends like The bear’s Will Poulter, Riverdales Charles Melton and Stranger things Joseph Quinn was released on December 16. Centineo will also appear in it.

Though he’s put his heartbreaking beginnings behind him, those roles helped Centineo skyrocket to social media fame. The Fosters alum, who moved from Miami to Los Angeles at age 15, then ruled the internet in 2018 To all the boys I loved before premiered on Netflix. At one point, Centineo, who is often compared to the young Mark Ruffalo, had gone from 300,000 to 11 million Instagram followers in less than 48 hours. The Perfect date And Sierra Burgess is a loser star was immediately profiled by publications like the the New York Times, W magazine And Vulture. Vox called him “a good-looking guy who’s reliably nice,” while the Cut called him a “complete cultural obsession.”

“I had no problem being an ‘internet boyfriend,’” Centineo told Netflix’s Tudum. “It was truly an incredible time of my life to have done something that impacted so many different people around the planet.”

In 2022, the year he launched his company, Arkhum Productions, and played DC superhero Atom Smasher in the Dwayne Johnson-led blockbuster Black AdamCentineo starred in Netflix’s spy thriller series The recruit. The actor leads the series as Owen Hendricks, a rookie CIA lawyer who becomes embroiled in the world of dangerous international espionage. In their debut week, the show’s first two episodes reached No. 2 and No. 6 on Samba TV’s top weekly streaming programs, the Cover reported. It was renewed for season 2 in January 2023.

Centineo compares his tenure as a young Hollywood heartthrob to his junior and senior years in college, so to speak. The recruit is a postdoctoral fellow.

“I think about it often The Fosters as my first two years of college, and To all the boys And Sierra Burgess and all the Netflix stuff for the next two years, and now I’ve graduated,” he shared Men’s health in 2022. “I’ve always been excited The recruit was something I couldn’t wait for, but actually I just had to slowly grow into it.”

Unlike his previous roles, The recruit represented a new beginning for Centineo, who opted to bring Alexi Hawley’s script to Netflix. The actor played a major role in getting the series off the ground. Centineo told the Hollywood reporter in 2023 that the project was the result of doing ‘what feels good and what feels fun’. But becoming an action star wasn’t the intention; the show just happened [an] action, spy genre through an interesting lens.”

“The plan was not to just deflect and take action,” he said. “I feel like I’m very fortunate that I have the opportunity to sit back and decide what I’m going to do, because before you were just auditioning and auditioning, and you took whatever you could get. Now that I have some time and the luxury to sit back and choose what we do next, it’s kind of like what I respond to.”

Centineo has officially ushered in a new era. In the six years since he was launched into Hollywood stardom, the actor, who appears in Forbes’ 30 Under 30 List for 2025 has survived the ebbs and flows of the industry and has managed to achieve continued success. Of XO, Kitty, the recruit And Warfare — projects across three different genres – Centineo, due out in 2025 and has also teased an upcoming film with his Arkhum Productions, continues to demonstrate his range as an actor and producer. Don’t expect him to stop anytime soon.
