About The Pretender
The Pretender ended on December 10, 2001, after its fourth season on NBC.
The series was a drama, adventure, and mystery show that originally premiered in 1996. It followed Jarod, a genius known as a Pretender, who could assume various identities at will. Taken from his parents as a child and raised in a think-tank called the Centre, Jarod believed his talents were used to help humanity. However, he discovered that his simulations were being sold to the highest bidder regardless of their purpose, prompting him to escape and seek his true identity while helping those in need.
The show starred Michael T. Weiss as Jarod, with Andrea Parker as Miss Parker, Patrick Bauchau as Sydney, and Jon Gries as Broots. It was rated 7.2 on TVMaze and had a runtime of 60 minutes per episode.
