What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the FOX television network, 24: Legacy, is yet another race against the clock to stop a devastating terrorist attack on U.S. soil. Six months prior, in Yemen, Sergeant Eric Carter (Corey Hawkins) and his elite squad of US Army Rangers killed terrorist leader Sheik Ibrahim Bin-Khalid. After the sheik’s followers declared a fatwah, the squad and their families entered the federal witness protection program. A new attempt on Carter’s life makes it clear that his team is now exposed. He enlists Rebecca Ingram (Miranda Otto), a brilliant and ambitious intelligence officer who has stepped down from her post as National Director of CTU. She’s supporting her husband, Senator John Donovan (Jimmy Smits), in his campaign for President of the United States. The rest of the cast includes Teddy Sears, Dan Bucatinsky, Anna Diop, Ashley Thomas, Charlie Hofheimer, Coral Peña, Gerald McRaney, Raphael Acloque, and Sheila Vand.
Season One Ratings
The first season of 24: Legacy averaged a 1.40 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 5.12 million viewers. Find out how 24: Legacy stacks up against the other FOX TV shows.
On May 15, 2017, 24: Legacy was not renewed but FOX may be open to a second season. Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
24: Legacy premiered over two nights, with the first hour airing directly after Super Bowl LI. This greatly skewed the ratings upwards. Plenty of people just kept watching FOX after the game and the ensuing post-game coverage, or didn’t bother turning off the TV. The second hour, which aired the following night, dropped off sharply, and earned much lower (although still respectable) numbers. Later ratings have been a different story. FOX is truly behind this 24 sequel series but the numbers do not bode well. FOX may renew 24: Legacy for a second season but, based on the ratings, they probably shouldn’t.
5/15 update: 24: Legacy was not renewed by FOX. There will be no season two, for now but it “could” happen in the future. Details here.

What do you think? Were you hoping that FOX would cancel or renew 24: Legacy for a second season? Does this new TV series have staying power?
Brilliant TV show.
Please renew 24 Legacy. It’s the best shot on TV, even without Keifer. The clock is awesome and the cliffhanger ending each week make it the most thrilling show. There are millions of fans hoping to see a second season on Fox.
When is Season 2 due to air for 24: Legacy? This is an awesome tv series. Renew the Series Please!
I really hope for a season 2, 24 legacy. I really loved it.
I want to see Isaac, Eric and Nicole again in season 2 ! I really do like this triangle drama.
Please DON’T CANCEL THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST SHOWS ON TV.
Please, another season. Losing Training Day is bad enough. Keep 24:Legacy.
I loved 24 legacy I’m waiting the next season
Let’s have another season but cut down the over the top political correctness b.s.
We see terror attacks frequently and the terrorists are not ‘diverse’ or ‘inclusionary’ and are not 50% white people. Who are you trying to fool or placate with that nonsense?
Please don’t cancell this show…love it!!
I really enjoyed the first season…brought me back to watching TV again…renew it!
Don’t cancel. Please watched every episode. Good television.
I Love 24 Legacy. Please bring it back. My friends, and I watch it every week, and then discuss the Show. WE LOVE IT.
24:Legacy needs a 2nd season. Tony and Eric need to find Jack but find out he is dead.
Eric Carter is no Jack Bauer, but then again, who is? However, 24 Legacy was very, very good and definitely worth bringing back for another season. ( especially if there is a chance that Jack might return for an episode or two. If that happens ratings will skyrocket!!)
This type has legacy , action, story and intrigue for another season. Waiting for new episodes
Omgosh ..So disappointed to not have 24 on tonight…I had no idea the season ended last week. Please bring it back
