He will play Jim Shannon a man from 2149. Shannon travels back through time to set up a colony on prehistoric earth in an effort to save the human race.

Brannon Braga, the executive producer, told Variety “Writing the character of Jim Shannon, we've thought of Jason O'Mara as something of an archetype.
