Joining his team on high-risk missions around the globe is maverick former CIA agent Jack Dalton. At home, MacGyver is entertained by his ambitious roommate, Wilt Bozer. Under the aegis of the Department of External Services, MacGyver takes on the responsibility of saving the world, armed to the teeth with resourcefulness and little more than bubble gum and a paper clip."

But he is his own man, eyeing his own future, even as his father pressures him to make lasting and permanent inroads with the French royal family. Specifically, Narcisse wants his son at Princess Claude's (Rose Williams) side. Luc's arrival on our canvas will complicate Claude's life in ways she could never have imagined." (Deadline.com)
