The Ending Of Taken 3 Explained

In a desperate bid to keep that eye-watering $12 million for himself, Stuart manages to kidnap Bryan's daughter Kim to try to flee the country. There's clearly an attempt at bringing the Taken franchise full-circle since Bryan is once again having to save his daughter from a kidnapper. Obviously, this is a Liam Neeson film, so he saves the day and even kindly lets Stuart live to set an example for his pregnant daughter.

In the wake of Lenore's death and Stuart's subsequent arrest, Bryan clearly learns to accept that his daughter has her own path as a mother now. And in a slightly awkward conversation, Kim tells him that if her unborn child is a girl, she'll call her Lenore. How cute, but we'd bet money on Bryan teaching his granddaughter to become a ruthless secret agent one day. Or maybe that would be Taken too far.

For anyone still wanting to see more from the Mills family, there was briefly a Taken TV series on NBC in 2017, starring Clive Standen as a younger Bryan Mills. It explored his journey to becoming the CIA super-spy that audiences know and (begrudgingly) love, but unfortunately, the series won't ever chart his full career or even retool the franchise: Taken was cancelled after poor reviews and ratings following its second season. (It was Taken off air, if you will.) So until the inevitable reboot from Netflix, Amazon, or another streaming service, that's all for the franchise for the moment.
