The original 24 TV show was a big ratings success for the FOX network for several years. Now, they’re trying a spin-off called 24: Legacy. Can this action TV series survive without the onscreen presence of Kiefer Sutherland as Jack Bauer? Will 24: Legacy be cancelled or renewed for a second season? Stay tuned.
On 24: Legacy, it’s a race against the clock to stop a devastating terrorist attack on United States soil. Six months ago in Yemen, an elite squad of US Army Rangers, led by Sergeant Eric Carter (Corey Hawkins), killed terrorist leader Sheik Ibrahim Bin-Khalid. In the aftermath, Bin-Khalid’s followers declared a fatwah against Carter, his squad, and their families. This forces them into federal witness protection but an attempt on Carter’s own life makes it clear that his team is now exposed. Carter 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 FOX cast includes Teddy Sears, Dan Bucatinsky, Anna Diop, Ashley Thomas, Charlie Hofheimer, Coral Pena, and Sheila Vand.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
4/18 update: You can see the rest of the latest night’s ratings.
Note: If you’re not seeing the updated chart, please try reloading the page or view it here.
Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.
What do you think? Do you like 24: Legacy TV show? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
5/15 update: 24: Legacy has not been renewed by FOX. There will be no season two, for now. Details here.
Well I’m a avid fan of the 24 series till this day I’m still watching the passed seasons. I thought with a new cast just maybe this would take off after the pilot. BUT this show is so BAD hoping maybe the next weeks show might get better its just 1 disappointment after another. Watching the Space X launch to the Space Station had my Drama and Suspense. We cant bring Jack back because he’s now a President on ABC. The Plot maybe be ok but its the Script that fails. FOX should have brought back TONY and CHOLE in… Read more »
Cancel and bring back Jack Bauer!!
Please cancel, does not compare with with original show.
It sucks.
Please cancel it. It’s either Bauer or nothing. He was a real action hero. This Eric Carter sucks… I keep forgetting he is the star. Bauer had a presence and was a scene stealer.
the show mite get more ratings with next new episodes !
I’m sure ✔
I’m sorry but the Eric Carter character just does t do it for me. I would have gone for Shamar Moore formally Derek From Criminal Minds or paid Kiefer Southerand anything he wants to return as the great Jack Bauer!! Plus the show needs more twists and episode cleft hangers. The original 24 always left me hanging and wishing for another five minutes. I do love Jimmy Smits his wife and dad plus it’s great seeing Tony back but they all need more and juicier story line!
You know that all actors had to start out as new actors. Even greats like Tom Cruise had to be given a chance. Corey Hawkins is a very good actor.. If, you tuned in expecting to find keifer Sutherland and shutdown only because he’s not in the starring role that’s not fair to new actors trying to get their start
i agree WHY does everyone want keith back YES he was gOOD but these actors are just as good give it a chance jesus christ the people who judge so fast this show story line is amazing its good and i hope it gets renewed
you need to really gvie it a shot this is actually a really good show your such a hater just because keith is not in it were in 2017 please its a new era with new actors.
The main character Eric Carter is noooooooo Jack Bauer bad choice. I would try and get Shamar Moore formally Derek from Criminal Minds. Plus it needs more plot twists and episodes Clift hangers weekly like 24 had. Love Jimmy Smits. His wife dad and awesome seeing Tony back. I love designated survivor but miss Kiefer as Jack
I thought 24 Legacy gets better each week and the characters develop, the story line keeps you on the edge of your seat. This program definitely should be renewed for another season.
Carter has to be the dumbest “team leader” ever… why he is not dead every time he goes on an op is beyond us.
The show is getting better
The characters are so stupid that it made us long for the days of “stupid stupid Kim!!!”
The Ratings are still decent and it could finish above a 1.3 That should get it renewed. How about that?
And to think that FOX put Gotham and Lucifer on extended breaks to make room for this and APB, which is even worse. Some uneducated viewers will think Gotham and Lucifer are cancelled and both shows will likely take a hit ratings-wise when they return. FYI: For fans stating that FOX needs to bring Keifer Sutherland back: the guy is the lead on another show and his executive producer credit is merely contractual – he doesn’t have anything to do with Legacy.
This show has been keeping me interested every week and I’m excited to see where it goes. Better writers could help the show, definitely–but even season 1 of the original took some time to wind up. I’m hoping that this keeps getting better and that the world of 24:legacy gets another season!
I LOVE this show, always ready and waiting to watch it!!! I am interested in every episode, from one commercial to the next!! Can’t wait for commercial to be over!! Please Please continue!
I think its done a good job trying to stay true to the 24 format. I think if the main chatacter worked for CTU it might have been more true to form and he was forced to go rogue by circumstances. Tony Almeida being added helped.
