This time, his mission is driven by a need for vengeance and the urgent need to protect a young girl named Poe Rayburn.

Fun Facts
- The lead actor Yahya Abdul Mateen II did not just act in the show but he also served as an executive producer because he wanted to have a say in how this version of John Creasy was developed.
- Production actually had to take a small break because Yahya got a bit of an injury while filming one of the heavy action scenes which just shows how much physical effort they put into the stunts.
