Nikita is an American television drama for The CW Television Network. It is based on the 1990 French film Nikita, 1993 remake Point of No Return, and the 1997 television series La Femme Nikita. It premiered on September 9, 2010, and currently airs on Thursdays at 9:00 pm Eastern/8:00 pm Central Time in the United States.
The series stars Maggie Q as Nikita, a spy and assassin who has gone rogue. She is now working to bring down Division, the secret government agency which recruited her. Meanwhile, Division trains its next crop of young killers.
The story centers on a secret organization known as Division. Targeting young people from a troubled background, Division erases all evidence of their past lives and molds them into efficient spies and assassins. Nikita is the first recruit to escape and promises to bring down her former employers.Having trained Nikita, Michael, a Division operative, is ordered by his boss Percy to deal with his former student. In the meantime, Division continues training its recruits, Thom, Jaden, and the newest, Alex.
The CW had long been interested in an action-adventure series centered on a strong female character.[5] On January 27, 2010, The CW ordered a pilot episode of Nikita. In February, Maggie Q was cast as Nikita, with Shane West as Michael. In March, Lyndsy Fonseca was given the role of Alex. On May 18, 2010, Nikita was officially ordered to series for a fall premiere. The 2010 television series is more closely tied to Luc Besson's 1990 French film Nikita than the 1997 television series, La Femme Nikita.
Executive producer Craig Silverstein was approached by Warner Bros. who owned the rights. Silverstein said, "My first thought was I love Nikita. My second thought was, 'it's been done.' Could it be done fresh? Could we have a take where you didn't know where this story would end?" As a result, two major changes have been made, one of which is the decision to have the story take place after Nikita has escaped. Maggie Q stated, "No one's told her story after the fact. No one knows where she is going." In addition, a new character, Alex, was introduced who has an unexpected backstory. The series will be a mix of a weekly mission/counter-mission, and a story arc running through the first season that explores Nikita's relationships with Alex and Michael.
Silverstein describes the story as a "dark fairytale. This girl is taken from one life, her identity is erased, she’s put in another life and she’s transformed. It’s like Alice in Wonderland. She’s told, “Eat this, drink that, steal this, kill that,” and she’s not told why. And, she begins to find her own identity through that."
