Every morning at 0800 hours, the President of the United States is given a report that outlines the most active international and domestic threats against the United States. This document is called the Threat Matrix. To combat these threats, the President, through the Department of Homeland Security, has created a highly specialized, elite task force whose mission is to keep our country safe from enemies determined to destroy our way of life.

"Threat Matrix" is a one-hour drama about this team whose expertise and use of cutting-edge technology helps them fight the many faces of terror. Taking audiences behind the headlines and into the world of homeland security, "Threat Matrix" dramatizes what we are doing in the world of homeland security, why we are doing it and whether or not it is working.

The leader of this unit is Special Agent John Kilmer. The brilliant 42-year-old former FBI agent has White House authorization to call upon the technical skills, firepower and the specialist agents of the FBI, CIA and NSA, among others. Kilmer reports only to Colonel Roger Atkins, the gruff and shrewd operations liaison to the President. Kilmer's ex-wife, Special Agent Frankie Ellroy-Kilmer, is a 35-year-old, highly trained interrogation expert and 'profiler' whose skills allow her to crack even the most hardened enemies.

Based in the "Vault" located at Fort Meade, the rest of Kilmer's dedicated team includes Mo, a 34-year-old Egyptian-American former CIA operative stationed in the Middle East; Lia "Lark" Larkin, a 36-year-old former FBI forensics specialist; Tim Serrano, a 28-year-old DEA agent from Miami; and Jelani, a 24-year-old African-American computer genius who intercepts phone, fax and radio signals from around the world and supports the team with the latest NSA technology.

"Threat Matrix" stars James Denton as John Kilmer, Kelly Rutherford as Frankie Ellroy Kilmer, Will Lyman as Colonel Roger Atkins, Kurt Caceres as Tim Vargas, Mahershalalhashbaz Ali as Jelani, Melora Walters as Lia ("Lark") Larkins and Anthony Azizi as Mo.

The series is executive-produced and created by Daniel Voll. Michael Edelstein, Jim Parriott, Emile Levisetti and Keith Addis are executive producers. "Threat Matrix" is from Industry Entertainment in association with Touchstone Television.less «

  • 19 seconds, cambodia airing

    If anyone is interested, the episode "19 seconds" (which appears, at least in the episode guide, to be unaired in the US - correct me if im wrong) recently aired in Australia, whilst "cambodia" is due to air this Thursday (Friday morning in fact 12.05am C7).

    5 Mediocre

    I called this show "24 - Lite" hide « show »

    This show was a blatant attempt to try and copy the success of "24". It was a failed mission doomed to failure.

    The episodes were like watching 24 in slow motion. The actors were dull and uninteresting.

    Hopefully they wont try and do this again. Another show E-Ring was an even lamer version of this show that ironically lasted longer than Threat Matrix. Please people in Hollyweird, stop trying to copy 24.

    Oh, and did you hear? The Earth could be sterilized by a Gamma Ray Burst any moment - it would be like roasting the Earth on a spit. Everybody dead!

    10 Perfect

    This show is brilliant, it doesn't matter if there are hundreds of other shows out there dealing with terrorism, this one did it well. hide « show »

    This programme really deserved more than one season, like The Agency, it was priceless and entertaining. I can see why the programme was cancellled but it doesn't change the fact that the actors seemed to work flawlessly together. It was good to see Kelly Hu in something new having not seen her in anything since Martial Law.

    If only it had lasted longer. Executives seem to be going through a phase of starting somethinhg and then canning it after only one season, it's annoying, but I suppose it stops a show from getting exhausting, and from exhausting all possible story lines.

    I enjoyed this show, I thought it was entertaining, it was good to watch on a Friday night, it was a welcome break from school work, I just could have done with it for longer.

    6.7 Fair

    I want to see it hide « show »

    I've read everything I could about it and I want to watch it why do they always cancel the good shows before they even get off the ground.
    It's just not fair to everybody who wants to see it. If they at least brought out the DVD then we could at least see the eps even if they aren't new

    9.8 Superb

    OMG why did they take this off the air, This show had soooooo much potential, yet they never took it as fair as it could go!!!! hide « show »

    Great show, I can't believe it went off the air, very underappreciated. With all that is happening in the world today this show took a real life circumstance and mad it into a breathe taking, edge of your seat show. This show could have gone sooo far, yet it didn't have time to cause it got take off the air. If anyone has the time download it and watch every episode back to back I can promise you this you will have it in you dvd collection for the rest of your life.

    Bring The SHOW BACK!!!

    They fight terrorism on a daily basis. hide « show »

    This show is (since I'm watching it, and I live in Sweden and they have showed half the season as of yet) one of the best shows I know. Had no idea it was cancelled until I came here, so sad I really like it.
    It's a captivating show, but was cancelled, sadly enough.
