Sean Bean, who starred in the first season of HBO’s Game of Thrones, is returning to TV with Legends, a spy drama that will air on TNT.
Bean joined the series in December, replacing Brendan Fraser. He plays Martin Odum, a master spy created by novelist Robert Littell. Odum is working for the FBI’s Deep Cover Operations unit and has an ability to completely change into a new person for each job. However, his own life comes into danger when he questions his own identity.
The rest of the cast includes Ali Larter, Rob Mayes, Tina Majorino, Steve Harris, Amber Valletta and Lux Haney Jardine.
“Legends has everything you want in a good spy drama: intriguing characters, multi-layered plots, a terrific cast and lots of action and suspense,” Michael Wright, president, head of programming for TNT, TBS and Turner Classic Movies (TCM) said in a statement. “At the center of it all is Sean Bean, giving an outstanding performance in an extremely complex and difficult role. We are very excited to work with Howard Gordon and his fellow executive producers, who have put together a truly extraordinary drama.”
This news follows Dallas getting renewed and The Last Ship getting a series order.
