Fox’s “Minority Report” is all set to premiere this Monday night, but many viewers are still wondering if the show would be just as good as the 2002 movie that starred Tom Cruise. Here are three things you need to know about the series before tuning in for tonight’s premiere episode.

1. "Minority Report" is a follow-up with different elements

Don't expect to see a 2015 follow-up of Tom Cruise's flick with minimal changes. In fact, don't expect to see something that would continue what the classic film started. While the themes of justice and morals remain intact and some visual elements and the premise remain the same, these are the only things that would make fans of the 2002 film excited to see things that are familiar to them.

Though the 2015 "Minority Report" is set in 2065, the series will take fans to a flashback to 2040 in the premiere episode just to tie in what took place in the action-detective thriller movie, but then again the latter was actually set in 2054. Plus, instead of capturing the dystopian setting in the film, the new Fox show gives the impression that the characters are in a high-tech world that is so 2015 but pretending to be somewhere in the far future, Robert Bianco of USA Today noted.

2. A protagonist that struggles to control his special ability

Stark Sands plays the main protagonist Dash, who was one of the twins in the three-member Precognitives of the Precrime program in Washington. In a flashback, viewers will see how the three children will be used by the special unit to see impending crimes right before they happen in real life. However, at the present setting of "Minority Report," the experiment has ended 10 years ago, leaving Dash the only one of the Precogs who still seek to help the victims of crimes before they take place, despite older sister Laura Regan's Agatha's warnings to stay out of the messy and twisted world of crime.

Nevertheless, the main struggle of Dash is the lack of pertinent info of his precognition ability. While he can see the places, numbers and visions on what's about to happen, his other twin Arthur, played by Nick Zano, is the one who is capable of retrieving pertinent information of the crimes. In his quest to save the world, Dash eventually teams up with Meagan Good's Lara Vega, who appears to be a member of a law enforcement agency in the future. Their partnership will lead to the capture of criminals and even those part of the Precrime experiment who were released before the experiment went dark, as per IGN.

3. A professional rivalry over a promotion?

Wilmer Valderrama joins the cast as Will Blake who has this professional tension and rivalry with Good's character. Given that Vega is taking all the credit at the law enforcement agency, Blake will be after Vega's top-secret resource who happens to be Dash. Blake will get the idea that Vega has an informant when she becomes really good at catching criminals.

The relationship between the two is also more complicated than what it seems. Apparently, Blake used to be Vega's boyfriend, but now she is working for him due to a promotion. This could mean more tension between the two when Dash gets into the picture, Collider has learned.

"Minority Report" is set to air this Monday night at 9 p.m. EDT on Fox.
