In the first film, Neeson played Bryan Mills, a retired CIA operative who launches a mission to save his kidnapped daughter (Maggie Grace).
The series will reportedly tell the story of Mills' time in the CIA.
The show has the support of the film's original screenwriter Luc Besson, whose studio EuropaCorp will co-produce with Universal TV.
At this point, no cast nor episode order has been set.
