I never imagined that there will be a new series about MacGyver. This TV series which I watch most of the time way back in the 90s and 80s via Channel 9 had been a big hit. Almost everyone who loves action had been watching and talking about this. Now AXN is bringing back a dynamic re-imagining of the iconic hit television series that was hugely popular in the eighties.
MacGyver will premier on AXN on September 29. This modern day rendition of the hit series is an action-adventure drama that features our hero Angus "Mac" MacGyver. Like in the original series he forms an organization within the U.S. government and utilizes his amazing talent to solve various problems. He is one resourceful guy who creates something extraordinary.
The action-packed series follows the unconventional exploits of our young hardware hero as he undertakes high-risk missions to save lives around the globe. Highly resourceful and with vast scientific knowledge, MacGyver narrowly escapes life-and-death situations armed with a little more than common items, like a paper clip, duct tape, and his trusty Swiss Army knife. Joining him is the maverick former CIA agent Jack Dalton.
Lucas Till (Havok in the X-Men movie series) stars as MacGyver while CSI veteran George Eads plays Jack Dalton. Peter Lenkov (Hawaii Five-0, CSI:NY), Golden Globe Award winner Henry Winkler (Happy Days), Lee Zlotoff (MacGyver), James Wan (Saw, The Conjuring) serve as executive producers for the series.
Expect lots of thrills in the premiere episode directed by James Wan of The Conjuring and Insidious fame as MacGyver puts his troubleshooting skills to the test and cleverly implements unorthodox methods to hurdle over complex problems and eventually become triumphant in the end.
MacGyver premieres same week as the U.S. on September 29, every Thursday at 9:45 pm.
