Former Homeland executive producer Alexander Cary is set to write, executive produce and run Taken, NBC’s straight-to-series drama from EuropaCorp TV USA and Universal Television.
Taken is a modern-day prequel to Luc Besson’s blockbuster feature franchise that starred Liam Neeson as retired CIA operative Bryan Mills on a one-man mission to save his kidnapped daughter. The series will depict how young Bryan Mills develops his particular set of skills.
Cary, who will pen the TV adaptation, and Besson, who co-wrote and produced the three-movie franchise, executive produce the series with EuropaCorp TV Studios USA president Matthew Gross (Body of Proof) and France-based EuropaCorp Television co-chairs Edouard de Vesinne and Thomas Anargyros.
