NBC has picked up the Taken TV show, which will explore the origins of Liam Neeson's character Bryan Mills and how he got his start in the CIA.

That said, the Taken franchise is going to continue. So it makes complete sense that Taken 4 won't happen. At some point, he just becomes a terrible father for letting this happen, instead of an excellent one for saving her. The problem with both Taken 2 and Taken 3 is that they both rehashed the concept of antagonist Bryan Mills having his daughter abducted. The movie had a very simple premise and surrounded that premise with a somewhat unconventional action hero with a ton of great action and one very memorable speech. The first Taken was met with relatively mixed reception from critics but action movie fans absolutely loved it. Jokes aside, Liam Neeson has a good point. Actually if we do have another it will be, 'Please can you take my daughter'?" There's only so many times your daughter can be taken.

Stephen Colbert found some time to ask him about the possibility of Taken 4 happening at some point, and Liam Neeson makes it clear that there is absolutely no chance of that, at least to his knowledge. The actor recently appeared on The Late Show in order to promote his upcoming movie A Monster Calls, which is getting some very positive buzz ahead of its release. The law of diminishing returns, at least on the quality side of things, caught up with the franchise, but it did make money, so is there a chance we are going to see Taken 4 at some point? According to Liam Neeson, absolutely not. Taken 3 rounded out the Taken trilogy last year, and though it did well at the box office, it wasn't really received very well by anyone, be it fans or critics.
