Human Target

Thursdays at 9ET/6PT

People have secrets, and secrets can be dangerous. But nobody deserves to die.
This is the thinking of Christopher Chance (Mark Valley – FRINGE, BOSTON LEGAL, The Siege, ONCE AND AGAIN), a mysterious security agent for hire who assumes different identities, at times literally becoming a human target on behalf of his clients. Using the popular DC Comics title as a springboard for riveting and intelligent action and adventure, HUMAN TARGET provides a thrill ride with no clear boundaries. Resourceful, driven and compelled by a force known only to him, this take-charge antihero will barter his services for an aged bottle of scotch, much to the chagrin of his shadowy associates. If someone is threatened or a life is in danger … leave it to Chance.

In addition to Valley, HUMAN TARGET stars Chi McBride (PUSHING DAISIES; BOSTON PUBLIC; I, Robot; HOUSE, M.D.; The Terminal) and Jackie Earle Haley (upcoming The Nightmare on Elm Street, Watchmen, Little Children, All the King's Men). From Bonanza Productions Inc. the television series is also in association with Wonderland Sound and Vision, DC Comics and Warner Bros. Television.

This full-throttle action drama centers on Chance. Call him what you may, but for this private contractor/security expert/bodyguard, the only thing that matters is saving his clients' lives. If there is an unusual or imminent threat that can't be solved through "normal" means of protection, Chance is hired to completely integrate himself into the situation — to become a human target. If there's a corporate manager whose disgruntled employee appears violent and unstable, Chance is the new auditor on the inside. If there's a bank president who's been tipped off to a potential heist, Chance is the unassuming bank teller at the ready. Others may not notice him, but nothing will go unnoticed by Chance.

Assisted by his business partner, Winston (McBride), and associate/hired gun, Guerrero (Haley), Chance puts himself directly in the line of fire, racing against the clock before his client's time runs out. But does anyone know who Chance really is or what secrets lay buried in his past? What would make a man willingly become a human target? ."
