Painkiller Jane told the story of DEA Agent Jane Vasco (Kristanna Loken) who discovers that she has the ability to heal quickly from any injury. As a result of this special power, she is recruited by a secret government agency that tracks down “Neuros” — mutant humans with supernormal mental powers. The cast also included Noah Danby, Rob Stewart, Alaina Huffman and Sean Owen Roberts.
Painkiller Jane began as a comic book and was loosely adapted for a 2005 TV movie for Sci Fi. The movie was a success and spawned the television series which debuted on April 13, 2007. Unfortunately, the series premiere attracted a disappointing 1.55 million and viewership has declined from there. As a result, Sci Fi has opted not to renew the series for a second year.
The last episode of Painkiller Jane is still scheduled to air on September 21, 2007. “Endgame” will focus on several powerful Neuros launching a prison break. It’s unknown at this point if the series finale will tie up any loose storylines but a DVD release is expected at some point in the near future. Stay tuned!
