‘Pushing Daisies’ Chi McBride in ‘Human Target’

Pushing Daisies may be officially over on ABC, but fans should be happy to learn that series star Chi McBride has a new gig lined up for the 2009—2010 season on the upcoming Fox action series Human Target.

Based on the popular DC Comics graphic novel, Human Target revolves around Christopher Chance (Mark Valley, Fringe), a unique private contractor and security guard. When there’s an unusual or imminent threat that can’t be solved through “normal” means of protection, clients hire Chance to completely integrate himself into their lives to become the human target. Assisting Chance on each job are his business partner Winston (McBride) and his hired gun Guerrero (Jackie Earle Haley, Watchmen).

One of the show’s executive producers is Joseph McGinty Nichol, better known as McG, who occupies the same role on NBC’s dear and beloved Chuck. And that’s not the only Chuck connection, either, because one-time Buy More visitor Tricia Helfer also guests on the pilot episode of McG’s latest series.

Check out the four preview videos after the jump to see her, McBride, and the rest of Human Target‘s cast in action. I have a feeling I’m really going to enjoy this midseason show during the 13-episode run that starts in January.
