TV fans will see Sean Bean in another series again later this month-hopefully alive and well until the end!
Bravo has announced 'Legends' Premiere date to be this August 27. Bean's new show sent netizens into a panic for his fate in this series.
FHM even released an infographic report listing down 16 onscreen deaths for the 55-year-old Yorkshire native. He's starred in award winning shows and films such as 'Lord Of The Rings: Fellowship Of The Ring' and 'Game Of Thrones' and had been killed in them.
Despite being an acclaimed actor, he's been shot, stabbed, quartered, shot with arrows, burried alive, and beheaded in front of the camera.
With almost all of his characters for both film and television dying in the most gruesome of deaths, TNT has launched an online campaign to keep his character, Martin Odom, alive this time.
According to Time Magazine, the hashtag #dontkillseanbean quickly went viral after TNT started the campaign in July.
One Twitter user posted, "Lol this is the best hashtag for whatever show it's promoting. #DontKillSeanBean."
Another person tweeted, "Even Hollywood is on Sean Bean's side. Loving this @LegendsTNT marketing campaign. #DontKillSeanBean"
The marketing campaign certainly gave it the social chatter it needed for the 'Legends' premiere this month.
Bean will play an undercover FBI agent in 'Legends,' returning to the agency after infiltrating a local terrorist organization called Citizen's Army of Virginia (CAV). He tries to reconnect with his wife and son who grew estranged from him during his job, however, he gets called back for another "legend" when the CAV announces an attack. He will also meet a stranger who will hint about his whole life being one deep "legend" as well.
The series is based off of Robert Littell's award winning book of the same title.
The 'Legends' cast list includes 'Heroes' actress Ali Larter, who will play Bean's fellow operative Cathy McGuire. Morris Chestnut will also join the stars as Tony Rice, another deep cover agent.
Watch out for the 'Legends' premiere this August 27, 9PM at Bravo.
