It looks like Bryan Mills will be coming back for more but he’ll also have a new boss. The Taken TV show has been renewed for a second season on NBC.
A prequel set thirty years prior to the Liam Neeson feature film trilogy, Taken follows former Green Beret, Bryan Mills (Clive Standen). The NBC cast also includes Jennifer Beals, Gaius Charles, Brooklyn Sudano, Monique Gabriela Curnen, Michael Irby, James Landry Hébert, Jose Pablo Cantillo, Simu Liu, and Ali Kazami.
The first season of Taken averaged a 1.00 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 5.13 million total viewers. It’s one of the lower-rated scripted NBC TV shows and had the advantage of following The Voice on Monday nights.
Despite disappointing ratings in the US, Taken has performed well internationally so that no doubt had a big impact on the decision to renew the show. Season two will have 16 episodes, three more than the freshman season.
The series will also have a new showrunner (TBD) in season two That person will reportedly be expected to tweak the show’s creative direction. Alex Cary adapted the story for television and served as one of the executive producers, as well as the Taken’s first season showrunner.
What do you think? Do you like the Taken TV show? Are you glad that it’s been renewed for a second season or, do you think it should have been cancelled instead?
I am soooooooooo Happy that Taken has been renewed for a second season!!! I am hoping for a season Three and Four!!!
I loved season 1 and can’t wait to see season 2.
I’ll definitely watch Taken season 2. Can’t wait. Loved season one! Thanks for bringing it back. Bring something like Training Day back too!!
I cannot wait for season 2, loved the show!!
I can not wait for the second season. I love this guy, He is Liam Neeson reinvented.
I think it’s a real good series
I was worried that Taken would not have a second season. I am so relieved that it will return. My family enjoys this show. I really like the concept as well as the cast. NBC good choice to bring it back.
This guy is the closest you could get to Liam Neeson, I think one of the best shows I have seen in a long time. I cannot wait until season two, I was devastated when season one ended. I think the cast is spot on and the storyline has been excellent.
Great show. So glad it will be on next season. Love it!
Love this show and would watch it regardless of timeslot!
Yes, but not because of it following “The Voice”. “The Voice” we catch on demand & knowing how to change channels is a plus of having an education with the self respect to avoid boring feel good shows requiring no true thought process and certainly not just because it comes on before or after any other particular show.
Taken and The Blacklist are my favorite shows!
Glad they are still on for new seasons.
I love Taken and am thrilled that it was renewed. The action is nonstop and story lines superb. Can’t wait for the 2nd season to commence.
I think this show is awesome I don’t miss one single episode for nothing in this world. I love the voice, the black list and Taken please don’t stop them pleaseee
I am very happy that Taken is coming back again.
