Tricia Helfer coming to Primetime TV Jan 17!
By way of Fox’s new tv series pilot Human Target
Per iO9:
Fox is obviously feeling confident about their adaptation of DC’s Human Target; the network isn’t just giving the series a high-profile premiere slot, but it’s also aiming to make sure American Idol fans stick around to watch it afterwards.
Fox announced on Wednesday that Human Target - starring Fringe’s Mark Valley as Christopher Chance, a bodyguard who takes over the life of his clients in order to save them - will premiere on Sunday, January 17th between a NFC Divisional Playoff game and the two-hour premiere of 24’s latest season (wonderfully described by the Hollywood Reporter as “a male-skewing ratings sandwich”), before moving to one of the network’s coveted post-American Idol timeslots on Wednesday, January 20th.
Given such lead-ins, either Fox is very eager to push what they see as a potential monster hit, or trying to give as much help as possible to something they’re not sure will be able to stand on its own.
