Jennifer Beals is set to star as the female lead in NBC’s upcoming “Taken” prequel series. Beals will appear opposite Clive Stranden — who will play Liam Neeson’s character from the film — in the adaptation, which has already been given a straight to series order. Beals is playing Christina Hart — the Special Deputy Director of National Intelligence — who has taken Stranden’s Bryan Mills under her wing.
Directed by Alex Graves, the “Taken” pilot is written by Alex Cary — who is also executive producing — for EuropaCorp TV USA and Universal Television.
