La Femme Nikita: Season Six
The Series
"La Femme Nikita is a Canadian action/drama television series based on the French film Nikita by Luc Besson. The series was co-produced by Jay Firestone of Fireworks Entertainment and Warner Bros.. It was adapted for television by Joel Surnow. The series was first telecast in North America on the USA Network cable channel on January 13, 1997, and ran for five seasons until March 4, 2001. The series was also aired in Canada on the over-the-air CTV Television Network. La Femme Nikita was the highest-rated drama on American basic cable during its first two seasons. It was also distributed in some other countries, and it continues to have a strong cult following.
In the original Luc Besson film, Nikita is a drug-addicted juvenile delinquent who was accused of killing a police officer in cold blood during an attempted robbery of a pharmacy. She is later arrested and sentenced to death by lethal injection, upon which she was secretly drugged by the government, faking her death. Nikita is then "recruited" by a secret government organization and transformed into a highly skilled assassin who cannot be traced.
The television series differs from the film versions in one fundamental aspect: Nikita (Peta Wilson) is innocent. She is not a killer, nor a drug user, just a homeless young woman in the wrong place at the wrong time. Section One—an elite, top-secret counter-terrorism organization—sets Nikita up to be accused of murdering a police officer and sentenced to life in prison where she supposedly commits suicide and is brought into Section One. Because Nikita will be killed (or "cancelled") if she fails to comply, she is forced to carry out the organization's ruthless methods of fighting terrorism, while attempting to keep her moral integrity intact. This personal struggle becomes the primary conflict of the series....
Over time, Nikita's secretive and risky romantic involvement with her trainer, the mysterious Michael Samuelle (Roy Dupuis), will become another source of conflict, and the series' most significant relationship. Just before the conclusion of the series, Nikita also learns the truth of why she was recruited into Section One.

The "Season Six" Scenario
Now head of Section One, Nikita institutes changes within the organization that, some believe, will bring about its downfall. Jonathan Soto (new character) is running The Center. This suave and utterly ruthless man wants to replace Nikita with someone he owns (or thinks he owns) -- namely, Nikita's sister Michelle, who seems to resent the fact that her father chose Nikita rather than her to run Section. Nikita's best operatives are Antonio Mendez (new character) and Jasmine Kwong. A romance blossoms between them, even though he was loyal to Operations, and she is a staunch Nikita supporter. Walter remains Nikita's confidante, and the connection between him and Jason Crawford leads to a startling revelation. Quinn is in charge of Communications; she is highly efficient, but there is no love lost between her and Nikita. And Nikita has no choice but to "recruit" Jean-Baptiste Serrett (new character), a Le Monde reporter who finds out too much about Section.
