The TV series also stars Flashdance actress Jennifer Beals, Friday Night Lights’ Gaius Charles, Monique Gabriela Curnen and Michael Irby.

“As he fights to overcome the trauma of the incident and exact revenge, Mills is pulled into a career as a deadly CIA operative, a job that awakens his very particular, and very dangerous, set of skills,” NBC revealed in a statement.

“In 30 years, this character is destined to become the Bryan Mills that we’ve come to love from the Taken films.”

Taken will air very soon on American station NBC on February 27th, 2017.
