Nikita - Season 3 - Craig Silverstein Teases upcoming Season

Thanks to Richard for the heads up.

Wetpaint Entertainment: Now that you're rebooting the show essentially, what does Season 3’s first episode look like?

Craig Silverstein: Episode one of Season 3 feels like a pilot. If you have never seen the show, you can come in. It's got all the continuity, we don't ignore any of it, but, at the same time, Nikita’s found herself in a completely different place, and we have a much clearer understanding about how they get their missions. Before, it was always, she's coming back to Division, how is it going to work week to week? Now, it's pretty clear.

Maggie insinuated that they're going to start taking out people from their past.

Sort of, kind of, yes. I mean they might not be people that they personally know, Division had agents spread all over the world. When Division was taken over, they got a message to come back in. And then they got another message from Amanda saying, “Nikita and the government's running it now. If you come back in, you'll be taken out.” About 30 people agreed with that and all broke off and went rogue, and are out there causing all manner of different havoc in the world with their special Division skills.

So that's who we're going after?

The dirty 30. That's what we're doing. Espionage freak of the week.

Apparently something happens very early on that we wouldn't expect until much later in the season? Can you tease anything about that?

The very first episode, I think, will satisfy a lot of Nikita fans… very romantic, nice.
