If you thought your day was jam-packed with drama from tiring commutes to hectic works days – you may reconsider after watching the series premiere of TNT’s upcoming series, “Legends.”

And luckily for action-seeking fans, we've got the whole scoop and nothing but the scoop of what viewers can expect before the show makes it’s nail-biting debut on Wednesday, August 13 at 9/8c – straight from the Executive Producer’s mouth!

During the third season of the ATX Festival, held in Austin, Texas, Brad Turner explained that the summer series (based on Robert Littell’s book “Legends: A Novel of Dissimulation”) will radiate a “24”-esque vibe throughout the series. That’s probably because the “Legends” EP was one of the directors responsible for the shenanigans Jack Bauer found himself in during the serialized drama.  So, if you love clock-ticking, heart-stopping drama, then “Legends” is the show for you!

What can viewers expect to go down during the premiere of “Legends”? Well, the episode will open up with a nail-biting scene that will surround everyone’s favorite “Game of Thrones” character Ned Stark. Yep, that’s right! Sean Bean will be starring in the upcoming drama as Martin Odum. And according to Turner, the former “GoT” actor will be keeping his head. Phew! That’s a relief.

“He was excited to play a role he didn’t have to die in,” the EP quipped. But just because Bean’s noggin is safe – for now – doesn’t mean he won’t be close to losing it throughout “Legends.” Bean’s character will encounter his fair share of life or death drama as the series unfolds.

Here’s an unexpected sight - filming for series three of Ripper Street on the streets of Dublin this morning.

And this morning it was business as usual for the often-gruesome show as the cast and crew descended on the Custom House in Dublin’s north inner city.

In one scene, actress MyAnna Buring, who plays brothel madam Long Susan, is seen exiting the building showing blood-stained hands.

Also making a welcome return to the new series is Monaghan native Charlene McKenna, who plays former prostitute Rose.

Cumberbatch is playing the lead in the movie about the life and career of scientist Alan Turing who became famous for breaking Enigma codes during the Second World War, only to then be criminally prosecuted for his homosexuality.

The 37-year-old British star isn't the only A-lister to lend his acting talents to the flick. A few of Cumberbatch's co-stars – Keira Knightly, Matthew Goode and Downton Abbey's Allen Leech – can be seen here, too.

Keira Knightley: Benedict Cumberbatch Punched a Journalist in the Face for Me

The notoriously reserved Keira Knightley, 29, covers Elle UK's July 2014 issue, in which she dishes about her close circle of friends, including her Atonement co-star Benedict Cumberbatch.

Just how close are the two?

Apparently, Benedict once "joke-punched" a journalist in the face for dissing Keira.

"When I saw him again, I said, 'Did you punch a journalist?' and he was like, ‘I f*cking did,'" Keira recalls to the magazine with a grin. "Everybody needs a friend like that."

Though one thing the pals probably won't be doing together?

Singing karaoke.

"I hate karaoke. Like, I really, really hate it. I have to be so drunk I’m nearly about to fall down before I sing in front of anybody. It just terrifies me," she admits. "But, also, among the people you go with, there will be somebody who secretly has an amazing voice, and you're just like, 'F*ck off.'"

The beautiful actress also admits to having surprising insecurities when it comes to being out and about in public.
