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?
Bring Jack Bauer back, that’s the only reason I’ll watch again
24: Legacy was one of the Best Shows that on last season. Please bring it back. We have nothing to watch. The line up is the worst ever this season. Please bring it back, even if you have to put it on another channel. Thanks.
Yes why was it cancel it was the best tv show on television talking about the ratings you all never gave it a shot towards the finale it was rates the number one show I will not invest my time in any more shows that come on Fox
Find a new lead Star. I know that’s not the way it normally works but actors get replaced all the time.
keep up the good work
Great beginning and i hope they keep it on.
the networks go by ratings.
Please bring it back! I’m a 60+ year’s young rate tv watcher but this series kept my attention. How could you NOT give it a chance? There was a time that tv series lasted longer than 10 or 12 . Who are counting outside of Nielsen ratings? Shane on you.
Please bring this show back-=-I agree 100% with what US Briggs wrote–This was a good show that kept me wanting to watch over and over–One short season was not enough–Give this one a SECOND CHANCE__Please!!!
Yes, BRING IT BACK!!! We were original die hard fans of the original 24 with Jack Bauer & I honestly didn’t think I would like the 24 Legacy, but we loved it & think Corey Hawkins is absolutely awesome! He is a great actor & I honestly think he could win the hearts of the many Jack Bauer fans! I think there could be a long running story with him for many seasons to come. The rest of the CTU crew could grow with Rebecca back at head! Please rethink & BRING IT BACK, please!!!!
I was a die hard 24 fan. All the twists in plots and espionage. However, I would not watch it with this cast. It was painful to watch. I kept hoping it would get better, but it failed. It was too unbelievable to believe.
