Will there be a second season of 24: Legacy? FOX boss Dana Walden recently discussed the status of the reboot series, Deadline reports.
The action drama stars Corey Hawkins as Eric Carter, an Army Ranger who becomes the target of a terrorist organization. The cast also includes Miranda Otto, Jimmy Smits, Teddy Sears, Dan Bucatinsky, Anna Diop, Ashley Thomas, Charlie Hofheimer, Coral Pena, and Sheila Vand.
During a recent conference, Walden said she was disappointed with the ratings for 24: Legacy so far:
I’m a little sad because I feel like it’s a really good show. We’re doing about 7-8 million viewers over seven days per episode. It’s not terrible. We had really high hopes for the show. Perhaps our launch strategy was a little over-ambitious.”
Only five episodes in, the show’s first season is averaging a 2.17 rating in the 18-49 demo and 7.470 million viewers. While decent, the ratings are way down from the series’ premiere, which aired right after the Super Bowl and earned a 6.10 in the 18-49 demo and 17.576 million viewers.
Walden said FOX will see how the show performs and reassess its season two chances in May:
We’re going to see. I would love nothing more than to bring it back because I thought it was great but we’re just going to have to see how our pilots come in, how it continues to perform and weigh all of the information we have in May.”
What do you think? Are you watching 24: Legacy? Do you want a second season?
The storyline doesn’t make sense. The characters do stupid things anyone off the street would know not to do much less people that are supposed to be highly trained CTU operatives. Get some better scripts please.
I love the show.It seems to be a great fit to the older version, which i watched every episode.
I agree about jack bauer that the show is nothing without him but if they can bring back chloe o’brien and tony almeida and if jack could come back on a recurring basis maybe that would help.
Bring jack back and I’ll watch it
I hadn’t actually heard about the show until this morning. I’m going to see if I can start from the beginning on demand because I hate the start a show in the middle.
GREAT SHOW… MORE LEGACY PLEASE!
I need a second season. These characters are great and need to finish up here and start anew. BRING IT BACK!
I think legacy is great. Hour goes way too fast.
Hoping it’s a go for season 2.
Nothing compare to the original jack bauer..
He’s not trying to be jack bauer. Just another character in a story that takes place in the same world. Jack Bauer can’t be everywhere and do everything. maybe he could show up sometime.
I think the show is great. I usually don’t watch weekly series, but I look forward to this one each week. The various storylines keep you guessing and off guard as to what could possibly happen next. I hope it can make a second season at least.
Just bring back the original 24. Bring back Jack Bauer for one last go round and kill every Russian in sight
I really liked it and so did my husband. Our problem was that we didn’t record it so forgot it was on. I now have it to be recorded so will be able to catch it. Please don’t give up on it.
I LOOK FORWARD TO IT EVERY WEEK!
I really enjoy this show!
