Also the network has set a premiere date for Taken, the series adaptation of the Liam Neeson action films. It'll premiere on Monday, Feb. 27th at 10/9c following the spring premiere of The Voice.

And Taken is a thrilling new series inspired by the hit movie franchise by updated in a very clever way."
