AXN has one ‘Gy’ to save the world with MacGyver, a dynamic re-imagining of the iconic hit television series that was hugely popular in the eighties.
Set to premiere Sept. 29, first and exclusively on AXN, this modern-day take is an action-adventure drama that features Angus “Mac” MacGyver who forms a clandestine organization within the U.S. government. Here MacGyver utilizes his extraordinary talent making inventive use of ordinary objects in a matter of minutes to decipher seemingly unsolvable problems.
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 stars as MacGyver while CSI veteran George Eads plays Jack Dalton. Peter Lenkov, Golden Globe Award winner Henry Winkler, Lee Zlotoff, James Wan 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 Sept.29, and airs every Thursday at 9:45 p.m. on AXN
AXN is seen on Cable Link Channel 38, Cignal Digital TV Channel 61, Global Destiny Cable Channel 61, Dream Channel 20, GSat Channel 51, and SKYCable Channel 49.
