Amazon have once again decided to go with a raft of series from their test-pilots – which means Van Damme will once again assume the mantle of ‘Van Johnson‘ (or is that the other way around?
Mr. Van Johnson, your next mission is… a full series.
Amazon‘s three pilots for this year, The Tick with Peter Serafinowicz (the second live action take on the cult comic book), the irreverent I Love Dick (starring Kevin Bacon) and our favourite Jean-Claude Van Johnson ( starring, of course, Jean-Claude Van Damme) have now all been confirmed as getting a full series pick up.
There’s no official word yet on how many episodes per series or when in 2017 we might expect the shows to air, but we’re very excited about Jean-Claude’s continuing small screen adventures. The pilot episode was set in a world where JCVD is actually the secret identity of international contractor JCVJ (Jean-Claude Van Johnson) and it introduced us to a world with so much comedic potential – and the chance for Jean-Claude to play a very different take on the screen persona most associate him with – that most critics agreed it was ripe to explore further.
