This fall, NBC is doubling down on action by bringing Jaimie Alexander, Wesley Snipes and the former stars of Cinemax’s Strike Back in three new one hour dramas.
First up is Blindspot, a new series which will inhabit the former 10pm timeslot of The Blacklist on Monday nights after The Voice. Alexander stars as “Jane Doe,” a woman who is discovered naked and covered in tattoos in the middle of Times Square. The only clue to Jane’s identity is that name of FBI Agent Kurt Weller (Sullivan Stapleton from Strike Back and 300: Rise of an Empire) which is tattooed on her back.
Together, Weller and Jane discover that every tattoo on her body is a crime waiting to be solved as part of a mysterious agenda. NBC has released the first trailer for Blindspot, which you can see below.
Stapleton’s Strike Back co-star, Philip Winchester is headlining The Player on NBC opposite Snipes. Winchester plays a former military operative who is attempting to avenge his wife by going undercover as a security expert in an organization that sets up gambling bids with rich people about whether he can stop a crime that is already in motion.
And finally, NBC is bringing back Heroes as an “event series,” Heroes: Reborn. Series creator Tim Kring with original cast member Jack Coleman as Noah Bennet with Masi Oka in a guest role as Hiro Nakamura alongside all new characters portrayed by Zachary Levi, Judith Shekoni, Robbie Kay, Henry Zebrowski, Kiki Sukezane, Ryan Guzman, Danika Yarosh, Toru Uchikado, Eve Harlow and Gatlin Green.
Heroes: Reborn will lead off Thursday nights at 8pm, with The Blacklist at 9pm and The Player finishing the evening at 10pm.
