What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the NBC television network, Taken stars Clive Standen, Jennifer Beals, Gaius Charles, Brooklyn Sudano, Monique Gabriela Curnen, Michael Irby, James Landry Hébert, and Jose Pablo Cantillo. A prequel set thirty years prior to the Liam Neeson feature film trilogy, the Taken TV show follows the young, hungry, former Green Beret, Bryan Mills (Standen). After a personal tragedy upends his life, he embarks on a quest for vengeance. While working as a CIA operative, Mills hones his infamously lethal skill set. He works for Special Deputy Director of National Intelligence, Christina Hart (Beals), and alongside his OPCON teammates Dave (Cantillo), John (Charles), Becca Vlasik (Curnen), Scott (Michael Irby), and Rem (James Landry Hébert). Finally, there is attorney Asha Flyn (Sudano). Beautiful and motivated, she reconnects with Bryan at a critical point in their lives.
Season One Ratings
The first season of Taken averaged a 1.00 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 5.13 million viewers. Find out how Taken stacks up against other NBC TV shows.
Telly’s Take
The series premiered with mediocre numbers and the ratings have gotten much worse — despite having The Voice as a lead-in. I suspect that the Taken TV show will be cancelled and not renewed for a second season.
5/9 update: Thanks to international sales, NBC has renewed Taken for a second season. Details here.

So glad Taken was renewed. Hope it gains more popularity. This show is so well done that you feel like you’re watching a movie rather than TV series. It’s more realistic than a lot of TV shows that are just a little too hokey to be believable. I highly recommend watching Taken & hope it continues for a lot of seasons!
I really love the show taken it’s my favorite show and I love Clive standsen in the show
We never were aware of the program because we watched other alternative to “The Voice” which we only watched for one season and wasn’t completely taken by it so missed any of the promo for “Taken”. We caught up with it on NBCs On Demand. WOW, what a find…enjoyed the series completely.
So glad to see Taken starring Clive Standen is returning for 2017-18. Love Clive Standen and the show gets better and better.
So happy to see Taken is returning for Season 2. Love Clive Standen and the show keeps getting better and better.
Thrilled at Taken’s renewal. Can’t wait for season 2! Love it!
If u guys cancelle I’ll be really pissed
This is going to be a good show. Give it a chance.
DITTO! DITTO! DITTO! I completely agree. Looking forward to Season 2 with 16 Episodes.
Love this show. So glad its coming back for another season.
I just feel this series could have so much better if the sister got taken rather than killed in the first episode.
YES!!! One of the smartest and most interesting and intriguing Series on TV! GREAT to see it back!
I love love this show, please renew!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TV Guide says it’s been renewed for a season 2!! https://www.google.com/amp/www.tvguide.com/amp/news/fall-tv-schedule-1005618/
So does the page you’re commenting on! Lol
Can’t wait!
notice how no one is concerned about the violence issues in yet another corrupt television show. I will simply leave this issue by using somebody else’s words saying it is their taste . What does that tell you? when you develop a taste for violence ? this is inside your soul ,it is who you are, your taste.
when you cannot see a problem with this you may want to think twice about if a television show is good for you are not. Does it inspire does it bring you happiness.
It just got renewed for season 2 about 2 hours ago but the main writer/producer is leaving
Also many of the original cast aren’t “renewed”, like my buddy Jose Pablo Cantillo which is the main reason I watch.
