Debuting on Amazon Prime Video this coming Friday (19th August) is Jean Claude Van Johnson, the new TV pilot headed up by none other than Jean Claude Van Damme. Amazon have released a few images from the show to whet your whistle while you wait the 24 hours or so until you can check it out for yourself.

The show is written by The Expendables‘ Dave Callaham and according to The Hollywood Reporter, will see Van Damme as a version of himself — a famous actor and martial-arts pro who comes out of retirement to resume his alter-ego: an undercover private contractor by the name of Jean-Claude Van Johnson.

Kat Foster, Moises Arias and Phylicia Rashad also star in Jean Claude Van Johnson, which is executive produced by Peter Atencio, Ridley Scott , David W. Zucker  and Van Damme himself. The pilot is directed by Atencio.

Accompanying the pilot are other indeed other pilots that include I Love Dick, starring Kathryn Hahn and The Tick with British actor and comedian Peter Serafinowicz. They all hit the prime service on Friday where viewers will be invited to vote on which one will become a full TV series on the streaming platform. It’s a great idea, and one which should be employed the other big players really – you listening Netflix?

We’ll be bringing you our own opinions on all of them come Friday, but for now, here are a few images from Jean Claude Van Johnson.
