The Fox network produced, Vancouver-lensed TV series, Human Target, based on the DC Comics series has been renewed for a second season.

Human Target is produced by Warner Bros. Television for executive producer Jonathan Steinberg, with Matt Miller (Chuck) taking over the second season as 'showrunner'.

Supporting the show, a new DC Human Target comic book was released February 10, written by Len Wein/Peter Johnson, featuring art by Bruno Redondo, Sergio Sandoval, Chris Sprouse, Karl Story and cover by illustrator Lee Bermejo.

"...'Christopher Chance' is a unique private contractor/security expert/bodyguard hired when an unusual or imminent threat cannot be solved through normal means of protection. Chance works with his business partner and trusted friend, 'Winston' and hired gun 'Guerrero', to integrate himself completely into his clients lives and eliminate the threat by becoming the human target..."

Human Target stars Mark "Boston Legal" Valley as the DC Comics character, created in 1972, by writer Len Wein and illustrator Carmine Infantino, following detective/bodyguard 'Christopher Chance' who impersonates clients to eliminate threats.

Writer Peter Milligan and illustrator Edvin Biukovic revived the character in 1999 for a four-issue limited series followed by the graphic novel "Human Target: Final Cut", an ongoing series that lasted 21 issues.
