Based on the blockbuster franchise created by Luc Besson that starred Liam Nesson in the lead role as retired CIA operative Bryan Mills, the new NBC series has thus far been overseen by season 1 executive producer and chief creative lead Alex Cary.
According to Deadline, Cary has officially exited as showrunner as the show has been simultaneously renewed by NBC for a 16-episode second season.
Fans of the NBC Taken television series can rest assured that season 2 is on the way with a new showrunner soon to be announced.
Besson will stay on board as executive producer as Taken begins to develop season 2 behind the scenes and actively seek out a new showrunner.
