Along with Hellcats, Nikita is one of two new shows premiering this fall on The CW.

Anchored by Maggie Q, the action-filled drama focuses on a former government assassin who wants nothing more than to avenge those that forced her into a life on the run.

The series also stars Lyndsy Fonseca, Shane West, Aaron Stanford, Ashton Holmes, Tiffany Hines, Melinda Clarke and Xander Berkeley. It will air on Thursday nights after The Vampire Diaries and you can watch a scene from the pilot now:
