Transporter: The Series will finally pull into the United States next month, with a run on TNT.

A spinoff of the French film franchise created by Luc Besson and Robert Mark Kamen, the thriller stars Chris Vance as Frank Martin, the professional driver for hire who will deliver anything, anywhere -- no questions asked -- for the right price. Oh, and he follows three allegedly unbreakable rules: "Never change the deal," "No names," and "Never open the package."

The series, which began airing in other countries as early as October 2012, will premiere Oct. 18 on TNT, which has released its first promo spot:

The series centers on Frank Martin, played by the talented Vance as The Transporter. You want something moved, moved fast, and moved right, you get Frank. He carries anything, anywhere, no questions asked. Ex-Special Forces, he has acquired the driving, fighting and survival skills to make the delivery on schedule, and he never quits until the package is where it’s supposed to be. It is a thrill ride with each episode. Chris does most of his own stunts on the show, and has a stunt trainer, teaching him fight sequences every day. He is a perfectionist, keeping fit, learning the movies and making it as authentic as possible.
