Blumhouse制片公司过去宣布把电影《人类清除计划 The Purge》开发成一部电视剧集,《人类清除计划》电影系列首部作在2013年上映,后来出了兩部票房十分成功的续集(第四集《人类清除计划4 The First Purge》已定于本年上映),而剧集版由Blumh ouse电视部门拍摄,定于美国时间9月4日在USA及Syfy同时播出(两台皆在NBC旗下)。
《人类清除计划》剧集版会描述美国那无政府12小时清洗日的新篇章。在电影中,人类清除计划是一年一度的无政府节日,在晚上7点到第二天7点期间批准进行犯罪活动(杀人抢劫等),而且医院、警察﹑消防服务皆会停止,在这12小时内所有人(除了部份重要人物仍受保护)得靠自己来活下去……或者选择大开杀戒。
After her bittersweet success in series one, Karen has been promoted to Detective Inspector and seemingly given the authority she has long been fighting for. Just as she’s getting into the swing of her powerful new role, she is assigned an infamous unsolved case that will put her under intense scrutiny; from her boss, from the media, and ultimately, from sinister forces that would rather the past stayed in the past.
The 1984 case of Catriona and Adam Grant has confounded investigators and intrigued the public like no other. Catriona, the charming young heiress to a vast oil fortune, and her two year old son Adam, were brutally kidnapped at gunpoint outside a fish and chip shop in Fife. The ransom notes that followed stirred up an uncontrollable press storm, but when the culprits fell silent, the police faltered, and Catriona and Adam were never seen again.
Now, a man’s body has been discovered, with indisputable links to the original kidnap. With the first piece of evidence in decades, Karen must assemble an unbeatable team alongside her sincere and lovable sidekick DC Jason ‘Mint’ and the brilliant – but romantically complicated – DS Phil Parhatka. With the international renown of the kidnap and the constant pressure from Catriona’s father, Sir Broderick Grant, the team take on the biggest challenge of their careers to date. As Karen delves deeper into what happened in the autumn of 1984, political grudges and painful secrets reveal themselves, and it soon becomes clear… the past is far from dead.
