'Taken' Renewed by NBC
by EG
“Taken” has been renewed for Season 2 at NBC, Variety has learned.
Executive producer Alexander Cary is departing the show, and a new showrunner is expected to be named shortly.
The second season will consist of 16 hour-long episodes. The series serves as a prequel to the hit action film franchise of the same name that starred Liam Neeson, with “Vikings” star Clive Standen taking over the role of former Green Beret Bryan Mills. After a personal tragedy leaves him badly shaken, Mills is recruited by the CIA, with each mission helping him build up the “very particular set of skills” that enthralled fans of the film series.
