Last Resort is coming to ABC.

The drama will air on Thursday nights at 8 and already has the TV world talking, considering its creator (Shawn Ryan) and its cast (led by Andre Braugher).

The drama centers on the submarine Colorado and the orders its crew is given on the premiere: fire nuclear weapons at Pakistan. When both the captain (Braugher) and the XO (Scott Speedman) refuse to do so, the submarine itself is fired on.

The crew is considered enemies of the U.S. and proceeds to create its own sovereign nation.

High concept? Yes. Intriguing? Definitely, especially with a cast that also includes Autumn Reeser, Dichen Lachman, Daniel Lissing and more. Click through photos from the upcoming premiere now:
