“It’s a very difficult thing to take something you’ve done for eight years, almost two hundred episodes, and try to find a story that’s going to be unique and yet service the history of the show as well,” Sutherland said.

The Confession writer-director Brad Mirman discusses this action-packed web series, working with Kiefer Sutherland and much more.

Last week we reported that Kiefer Sutherland’s follow-up series to the long-running 24 will feature the star in action mode once again, but as a whole new character and in a whole new format. Kiefer Sutherland is starring alongside John Hurt in The Confession, an innovative new action web series which will debut on Hulu in March. Kiefer Sutherland will play an assassin who goes to confess his sins to a priest (John Hurt) on Christmas Eve. As the 10-episode series progresses, it becomes clear that neither character is quite who they seem.

One of the driving forces behind this project is Brad Mirman, who wrote and directed the episodes. I recently had the chance to speak with Mirman over the phone about this unique new series. Here’s what he had to say, and be sure to check out the end of the interview where he reveals a unique contest opportunity:

People seemed pretty excited when the initial release went out last week. It’s cool to see this getting some buzz.

Brad Mirman: Yeah, the response, just with that one thing, has been incredible. We’ll see where it goes from here.

When you think of a web series, they’re almost all primarily comedy these days. Can you talk a bit about making an action-packed web series and where the idea came from?

Brad Mirman: I’ve known Kiefer Sutherland for 15 years. We worked on a movie together in 1997, Truth or Consequences, N.M.. He met these guys from Digital Broadcasting Group and they kicked around some ideas to do a web series. Kiefer couldn’t immediately find a way to make it fit, for something he would want to do, but I think the idea of it interested him, and me for the same reason. He called me up and said, ‘I think something with a hitman in a confessional with a priest would be a good arena for this.’ We talked about how we both strongly believed that the internet is really going to be the future. Maybe not now, but five or 10 years from now, I don’t think that TV is going to exist in the way that we know it today. It will be CBS.com and NBC.com and you’ll just have your internet hooked right up to your television set. In the final analysis, your computer monitor, what is it? It’s a television screen that just does a lot more.
