Vikings' Clive Standen stars as Bryan Mills - aka young Liam Neeson - a former Green Beret who must cope with a great personal tragedy while simultaneously adjusting to his new job as a CIA operative. Whether you're a fan of the original Taken trilogy or just intrigued by the prospect of a new, serialized thriller, here's everything you need to know about the Taken TV series. According to fellow executive producers Alex Cary and Matt Gross, Besson wanted to be more involved in TV adaptations of his work after the CW's Nikita and Transporter: Before Bryan wrought havoc on the people who took his daughter, he apparently wrought havoc on the people who killed his younger sister. Before the events of the series began, Bryan killed big-time criminal Mejia's son during a military raid gone wrong, and now Mejia is out for revenge. What the Taken series aims to do is not only show how Bryan became the hardened man we see in the films, but also exactly how he developed and honed that very particular set of skills. Even though a Taken newbie could appreciate the series without issue, the writers aren't above sprinkling in little Easter eggs for movie fans.
