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.

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.

20th Fox bots and employees shills writing nonsense here trying to tell that this 24 Legacy abomination is so cool and must be renewed… Please! Enough with the lies! This show sucks big time. Shame on 20th Fox managers for doing this messed up cheap crap of a product insulting their own customers! Bring back the real 24 cast of 24 Live Another Day last season aired and give a proper ending to the show you there at 20th Fox left with a cliffhanger instead of spitting on customers face producing abominations like 24 Legacy that has nothing to do… Read more »
They should bring it back for Season 2 just so that Tony, Agent Carter and Chloe return to rescue Jack Bauer from the Russians. 24’s Jack Bauer character needs closure, whether that closure is his death or happiness – we just need closure.
Nothing good to say about 24 Legacy. It was a terrible idea to start with. Kill it off because it has probably ruined that poor guys career. And obviously it never got the numbers to be a sustainable series. Because if it had, it would be not be hanging in limbo.
I love it, hope it comes back…
I love 24: Legacy, the storyline, action, all the actors were great. You have a winner here, renew it for a 2nd season and for 24 hours.
I just sat down and looked at 24 Legacy again and I love this show. From beginning to end, the storyline, action, all the actors including Tony Almeida, 24 Legacy is great. Do renew for a second season with 24 hours.
I’m going to be pissed if this show ends! I been looking forward to this every week nd then without warning it stopped on the 12 hour! I hope they renew this show. It was so good!
Great show! Makes our Monday’s …please keep it going
This show is a favorite of my husband’s and mine. Great lead actor! Please bring it back!
Enjoy this show. Please begging on Season 2. Fast paced, action filled. Tony being back good addition to cast. Give him more action.
I see how this works , if you tell the truth about how bad this show is with the extremely bad acting and script and that it should be cancelled they won’t post it .
Cancel it , this show sucks
You are very wrong … Great show
They told a great compelling show with Kieffer and then dragged it into the gutter with this boring joke of a renewed series.
Please renew 24!
I hope this show gets a second season. Would like too see where it leads.
Brilliant!! Hopefully season will be renewed.
