CBS retools MacGyver in new series this fall

in Television

A younger, much more hip MacGyver is debuting on CBS this fall (paper clip and rubber band optional).

Lucas Till (X-Men) lands the new lead as a much younger MacGyver then audiences may remember from the 1980’s.  Now part of a problem solving, disaster averting secret organization, MacGyver (Mac) relies on his unconventional, seemingly impromptu methods for solving high tension problems (and still pretty much just in the nick of time).

A secret agent unlike any other, MacGyver escapes perilous situations with nothing but a paper clip, his trusty knife and his wit. A dynamic reimagining of the hit TV series, this action packed origin story follows a young hero as he undertakes missions to save lives and change the world. MacGyver stars Lucas Till and George Eads. Coming this Fall to CBS. (CBS on YouTube)
