NBC’s Taken wont borrow too much from the Liam Neeson movie franchise in its quest for Season 2 renewal, EP Alex Cary tells TheWrap:
“We were never talking about a prequel, we were talking about a modern origin story. What we wanted to do was to bring the franchise, the unique selling point of the ‘Taken’ to the television screens, but do our own unique story.”
Adds co-star Jennifer Beals of the show’s ‘unique’ approach:
“I feel like in a way we’re going backwards. We get a chance to watch the planting of the seed and watch the plant grow. In this case, it’s not just an effort to take advantage of a story that’s already popular.”
Stay tuned as we continue to monitor the cancel/renew status of Taken Season 2…
