After running for eighth seasons, FOX cancelled the 24 TV series due to declining ratings. Now, the characters are back for a “limited” series of 12 episodes. Will the ratings be good enough for the network to renew 24 for another season or will this be the end for Jack Bauer for good? Stay tuned!
24: Live Another Day: is set four years after the events of season eight and finds Jack (Kiefer Sutherland) in London, once again trying to prevent a global disaster. The rest of the cast includes Yvonne Strahovski, Tate Donovan, Mary Lynn Rajskub, William Devane, Gbenga Akinnagbe, Giles Matthey, Michael Wincott, Benjamin Bratt, and Kim Raver.
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.

What do you think? Do you still like the 24 TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled again or renewed for another season?
Best show on television! We need several more seasons.
24 needs to be renewed! Jack is back!
Awesome! Best show in the history of ever.
This is best tv show out there .. So tired of the same ‘fake’ reality shows
Jack Bauer character is very cool!
This show is the best and the most exciting show of all time. you have no idea how I got so excited when they advertised that “Jack is back” in May. I love the show, I love Jack Bauer, he is full of surprises and so full of action. And Jack is not old, he even came out looking physically fit for those thrilling stunts in this action show. The ratings could not have been any better. Fox should not cancel the show and should keep the show going.
Yes, this show has been the stuff made in short cake or bread. OUTSTANDING. But, if it is over….I hope there could still be a returning show in the future….Maybe Another Episode. or two….We will have to see. One of the writers is now writing another show. So, I guess that is a sign that it may be over.
Keep it going and keep Jack Bauer in it. Its not 24 without Bauer and the person who plays its best is Sutherland. If the producers try it again without Bauer I think it will fail. 24 is still the best drama/thriller on tv these days.
I have just finished watching episode 11 of “24” live another day. I am convinced that whoever is writing the story lines and the scripting for the “24” series is absolutely brilliant. I have watched every episode thru all of the seasons and found them addictive. I am not a young whipper snapper but in fact am 69 years old and find this series above and beyond all of the fast action thrillers even. Homeland…. I love the fact that it is patriotic and pro American above all. There are hero’s in these episodes. Of course Jack Bauer is the… Read more »
I truly hope Kiefer Sutherland changes his mind so all the avid,diehard fans of “24” can look forward to another fantastic season,even if just a “12”hr. day! This is definitely one of, if not THE best shows on TV-ever!My family & I have watched every season & have loved every season. The writing,scripts,characters,& actors are fantastic- & the return of the show ,though shortened to just 12 hrs.,has not been a disappointment-we can’t wait for Monday nights,& dread to think of it ending. We were delighted,after a drought of 4 yrs.,to learn it was returning. PLEASE take note Kiefer ,… Read more »
i think there has been ever any show that been so exited as 24.
Masoud. Hi, I read your recent posting about the “24”. But you made a mistake about the ratings for the ending turnout of the airing of the Seasons Finale in 2010. The show came in third place. Check your data information.
I thought the latest show has reminded us of the past episodes. But it has still brought us up to speed with character adjustments. I loved the fact that Chloe, has stepped up her game and now has been out working in the field. She has grown up a lot. Jack has still brought on some crazy surprises. That I had to scream about. Loved the ideas of foreign soil and embassy government. It was like opening up a history page when President Heller addressed Parliament. This show should be renewed , I was entertained, educated and surprised. However, the… Read more »
Given everyone is on vacation and 24 has been competing with the World Cup I would say that the ratings are pretty good. besides, what show does fox have that as good or better. The only one I can think of is “The Following”.
Jake, I believe you are correct. But, The Following gives you another flavor for suspense. I hope you are right. But, the show has come back after years of providing many genres in the idea of action adventure. We know many characters. But, what are some of the reasons for the various themes? This could be an interesting find?
24 is the greatest show ever.!!! dnt cancel it.. Ratings are OK.. i knw but you have to take into account many factors like, it’s a summer show, and more people watch it on Hulu, etc. or DVR it..!!! Include those ratings and it is one of the most viewed shows not only in America but also throughout the world via many online websites… So.. plz.. Jack is Back, don’t let him go now.. It’s once in a lifetime opportunity.. Every Channel has some show by which the channel is known. CW has Supernatural, Arrow CBS has many.. no need… Read more »
Keep renewing 24! It’s better than ever!
24 is best show ever to bad it can’t be on cable it can then be more explicit jack could have a romantic interest it would kill homeland in ratings fox would be nuts not to bring it back
I really hope 24 has ratings to be able to return! Great comeback.
This show I also think is the best ever and would LOVE for it to get renewed… with that said, I was under the impression this was the last season regardless, Kiefer on letterman the week before the first episode aired said this was the season to “wrap up the series once and for all” and how much harder it was due to his age (haha), so I don’t think its coming back regardless but I really hope it does!!!
