SEASON PREMIERE OCT 19TH AT 9PM
When Nikita (Maggie Q, “Live Free or Die Hard,” “Mission Impossible 3” was a troubled teenager on death row, she was “recruited” by a secret U.S. black ops program known only as Division. They faked her execution and turned her into an assassin. Nikita never lost her humanity, and when she learned that Division was a corrupt organization, she went rogue, exposing their covert operations, destroying their plans, righting their wrongs. Two years later, she finds herself working for a new Division, fighting alongside a team of allies she’s gathered throughout her adventures. They have vowed to clean up the mess left behind by the old Division – rogue spies, violent assassins – Nikita is hunting down killers just as skilled as she is.
In her campaign to end Division’s legacy, Nikita teamed with Michael (Shane West, “ER,” “Once and Again,” “A Walk to Remember”, a man who used to train her at Division. Nikita also forms alliance with Alex (Lyndsy Fonseca, “Kick-Ass,” “Desperate Housewives”, a girl with a violent past and a shared taste for vengeance. Another ally comes in the form of Birkhoff (Aaron Stanford, “Traveler,” “X-Men: The Last Stand” Division’s former tech specialist, also known as the elusive hacker, “Shadowwalker.” Birkhoff had built himself a large (and illegal) financial portfolio when Nikita caught up with him. She enlisted him in the fight, unwillingly at first. Now he’s in charge of designing new gadgets and gear for Nikita’s team.
Also joining the fight is Owen (Devon Sawa, “Final Destination,” “Idle Hands” a former “cleaner” for the black ops group, a highly skilled assassin who not only shares a connection with Nikita, he’s the key to unlocking Division’s deep dark past. Navy Seal Sean Pierce (Dillon Casey, “The Vampire Diaries,” “Torchwood” also joined the team last season, after being assigned to monitor Division by powerful forces in Washington. The war against Division’s past is led by Ryan Fletcher (Noah Bean, “Damages”, a former CIA analyst whose life has been saved by Nikita. Fletcher made a deal with the President to keep Division running, with the understanding that it would be cleaned up quickly and quietly or else.
That won’t be easy with Amanda (Melinda Clarke, “The O.C.,” “The Vampire Diaries” in the world. Formerly Division’s second-in-command, she manipulated her way into its top spot, just in time for Nikita to take her down. Amanda’s out for vengeance herself, and her ties to Nikita run deep. She taught her how to walk, talk – and how to kill. Nikita was her star pupil at Division, and Amanda is not done teaching her a lesson.

I'm so ready for this and I hope the ratings improved this year. If only CW is not so cheap and spend some money for proper advertising and promo pics of the characters. Oh well, at least they still release some episodic stills as can be seen from above.

Don't even try because Amanda will find you, tenderize your arms and make mincemeat out of them.
