Crisis

Crisis in an upcoming series. Set for action and thriller, the series is by NBC and created by Rand Ravich. The series will premiere on 16 March 2014.
Crisis
According the the series' synopsis on NBC (http://www.nbc.com/crisis),

"To bring the most powerful people in the world to their knees...threaten what they hold most dear. It's field trip day for the students of Ballard High, a school that educates the children of Washington, D.C.'s elite, top-of-their-industry CEOs, international diplomats, political power players, even the President's son. But when their bus is ambushed on a secluded rural road, the teenagers and their chaperones are taken, igniting a national crisis. Now, with some of the country's most powerful parents at the mercy of one vengeful mastermind, the question arises: How far would you go and what would you become to ensure your child's safe return? With so many parents and dignitaries put into play with nowhere to turn and no one to trust, the unthinkable grows from the select families at risk to an entire nation at stake. "Crisis" stars Gillian Anderson ("The X-Files"), Dermot Mulroney ("August: Osage County"), Lance Gross ("House of Payne"), Rachael Taylor ("666 Park Avenue"), James Lafferty ("One Tree Hill"), Max Martini ("Pacific Rim"), Halston Sage ("Neighbors"), Stevie Lynn Jones ("Runaways"), Max Schneider ("How to Rock"), Michael Beach ("Insidious: Chapter 2") and Joshua Erenberg ("Suburgatory"). The series was created by executive producer and writer Rand Ravich ("Life"). Far Shariat ("I Love You Phillip Morris," "Life") and Phillip Noyce ("The Giver," "Salt") also serve as executive producers. Noyce also directed the pilot. "Crisis" is a production of 20th Century Fox Television."
The series has a strong cast, including YouTube star, Max Schneider. There seems to be a lot of YouTube stars coming up on series (Pretty Little Liars, Teen Wolf, etc...). Just looking at the promo video, the storyline seems solid and I look forward to see the new series.
