Hunters stars Nathan Phillips, Britne Oldford, and Nip/Tuck‘s Julian McMahon. The series follows Baltimore FBI agent Flynn Carroll’s (Phillips) search for his missing wife. The search “leads him to a highly-classified government organization – the Exo-Terrorism Unit (ETU) – who track and fight alien terrorists.” Oldford is Regan, a valuable ETU operative keeping secrets of her own. McMahon plays the dangerously unhinged terrorist, McCarthy.
12 Monkeys is based on the film of the same name staring Brad Pitt and Bruce Willis. Terry Matalas, Travis Fickett, Charles Roven, and Richard are the executive producers.
The 12 Monkeys plot: “12 Monkeys follows the journey of Cole, a time traveler sent back in time from a dark, hellish future to prevent it from ever happening. Joining forces in the present with Dr. Railly, Cole must defeat a centuries-old malevolent organization known as the Army of the 12 Monkeys. As Cole, Railly and their unlikely allies get closer to the truth, they’ll learn there are deadly consequences for all of history … and time itself.”
