As the final season of "Nikita" quickly approaches, a new trailer promises an intense, action-packed farewell season.
An exclusive trailer for the CW spy thriller, released by TVLine, shows that the former Division agents will deal with a schism within the group. The stakes will be higher than ever as the characters battle Amanda (Melinda Clarke) and the Shop.
The trailer shows Nikita (Maggie Q) on the run in the beginning, and her colleagues are left to continue on their own, still perplexed as to why she abandoned them. There's also a moment when Ryan (Noah Bean) pulls a gun on Nikita and Birkhoff (Aaron Standford). The promo then shows Michael (Shane West) possibly ending his relationship with the embattled protagonist.
In the fourth and final season, Amanda will also cause problems for the nefarious Shop. Melinda Clarke told TVLine that Amanda is trying to start a war.
"She really starts to cause problems for The Shop because of her own personal agenda," Clarke shared. "There are some really intense things that happen along the way because of Amanda's obsession with Nikita. [Amanda's] trying to create World War III this season and she keeps trying to stop it."
The drama will kick off its final six-episode season on Friday, Nov. 22. The fourth and final season will air over six straight weeks, and will close out with a dramatic series finale on December 27.
The official final season synopsis reads: "Framed for assassinating the President at the end of last season, Nikita finds herself at the beginning of season four alone and on the run, hunted as the most wanted woman in the world. But when she follows up a lead that could clear her name, Nikita unexpectedly finds herself reunited with her old team. Forced to work together again, Nikita and her allies have to get past their emotional wounds in order to take down their nemesis, Amanda. In the process, they discover that the plot to frame Nikita is actually part of a much larger conspiracy, one that could lead to global catastrophe."
Showrunner Craig Silverstein recently told TVLine that the final season of "Nikita" will "come to a conclusion. As much of one as possible."
Silverstein said that Amanda and The Shop will be the main adversaries next season, and that the "villain of the week" plots will dissipate in order to look at larger, serialized events.
"So, [next season] will be like going right for the icing on the cake and not having to worry about the cake. We'll get right to the good stuff right away," Silverstein added.
The fourth and final season airs Nov. 22 at 8 p.m. on The CW. Watch the new trailer here.
