FOX had high hopes for 24: Legacy. The network released their 24 reboot series after the Super Bowl this February. However, the show’s first season has dragged in the ratings ever since. What do you think? Should 24: Legacy be cancelled or renewed for a second season? Would you watch?
An action drama, 24: Legacy stars Corey Hawkins as Eric Carter, an Army Ranger who becomes the target of a terrorist organization. The FOX cast also includes Miranda Otto, Jimmy Smits, Teddy Sears, Dan Bucatinsky, Anna Diop, Ashley Thomas, Charlie Hofheimer, Coral Pena, and Sheila Vand.
While 24: Legacy‘s post-Super Bowl premiere earned it a 6.10 rating in the 18-49 demo and 17.576 million viewers, the show’s ratings have been low ever since. Currently, the series is averaging a 1.52 rating in the 18-49 demo and 5.477 million viewers. Keep in mind, the averages have been skewed by the premiere’s high numbers.
Recently, FOX boss Dana Walden said she was disappointed in the ratings for 24: Legacy:
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.”
What do you think? Do you like the 24: Legacy TV show? Do you think FOX should renew it for a second season? Would you watch more of this series?
I was a die hard 24 viewer with Keifer Sutherland. I was elated to hear that 24 was returning. Yes, I thought Sutherland was returning but to be honest the series was getting boring. But I still wanted the series to return. I must say I am loving the new series 24 Legacy. This series keeps me intrigued. I watched it and I tape it and watch it over and over again. So, yes I love this new series. I hope Fox bring 24 Legacy back for many seasons. The writing is awesome and the acting is superb.
I loved it . I couldn’t wait for the next week to see whatnwould happen. I hate that Rebecca had ton die ,but Great show !!
I would love more seasons. It might be because of the way I watched it — DVR’d every episode and then binge-watched it all in one day (best way to watch ANY 24 season, btw) — but I felt it provided a lot of the same excitement of the originals. Even though I hate the fact that they wiped Jack’s memory and gave him some new identity as Tom Kirkman, I was able to get past not having Jack and really enjoyed the new characters and their struggles (Jack could’ve solved this season in two to three hours so it’s… Read more »
It’s an awesome series, bring it back!!!!!!!
My wife and i watched the first 5 episodes and gave up. The show didn’t keep us on the edge of our seats like the original five seasons did. We were frankly bored with this show. We would have given up sooner but we were hoping that it would get our interest later but it never did.
Bring it back. You can’t stop now, it’s just got me hooked.
Bring back Jack! If not Jack, Kate Morgan.
I have been a faithful watcher of this show since the beginning. I even stomached season 6. This was decent enough for a revival. Yeah, there’s no Kiefer Sutherland, but Hawkins was still alright. So was the supporting cast. I’d definitely watch another season.
Would definitely watch. I really enjoyed it. I think Carter was a good match up….and i’m an avid Keifer fan.
I LOVE this show. I think it’s very good. I am at the edge of my seat through the whole thing. Please bring it back for the faithful followers of 24. I don’t believe for a minute that the ratings are down because the show isn’t good.
PLEASE BRING THIS SHOW BACK NEXT SEASON. IT’S VERY EXCITING.
I’m glad this show ended after 12 episodes. It was almost painful to watch but I managed to watch them all because of the supporting actors. The major problem was the male lead. Awful. We need someone else as a lead actor (Gotta be at Kiefer’s caliber!) if they bring back the series.
I had high hopes for this show, but I was a little disappointed. I LOVED Carter and his wife, but HATED the guy that caused all of the trouble to begin with for such selfish reasons! I liked Carter’s brother too, but I’m glad the writers kept the in-law relationship clean and respectful. I would give it a second chance, but it is definitely NOT the original first 5 seasons of “24” (and YES, season 6 was an abomination and travesty – puke, puke!!!). Please bring them back! 🙂
The Show was great. It should be renewed for another season. I would definitely watch the next season.
Yes please bring back. Thoroughly enjoyed
