MUMBAI: A television sequel to the action-packed series of Minority Report adapted from filmmaker Steven Spielberg’s movie Minority Report starring Tom Cruise, Colin Farrell and Samantha Morton among others is premiering on FX and FX – HD on 7 March.

To be telecast every Monday to Friday at 9.00 pm, the series is a sequel to what happened after Cruise shut down the pre crime programme, an experiment in justice that relied on the visions of three precogsto put bad guys behind bars in anticipation of the crimes they were hypothetically going to commit.

The three precogs Agatha (Laura Regan), Arthur (Nick Zano) and his twin brother Dash (Stark Sands) integrate into society to live a normal life. However, flashes of murders yet to happen still enter their heads and Dash decides to ignore the abolishment of the pre crime unit to stop the murders and save lives. He decides to go vigilante with one of Washington DC’s detectives Lara Vega (Meagen Good).

A one off concept redefining the ultimate Sci-Fi experience, the 2002 movie ‘Minority Report’ was extremely well-received by audiences and critics alike. Taking cue from the movie, the television series with the same name was introduced for television viewing audiences.

This is the first ever Steven Spielberg movie to be adapted into a TV series, albeit as a sequel.
