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. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — typically the following morning, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
Final season averages: 1.8 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 6.33 million total viewers.

For comparison: The last regular season of 24 averaged a 2.9 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 9.28 million total viewers.
Note: These are the final national numbers (unless noted with an “*”). These are different from the fast affiliate numbers which are just estimates of the actual ratings. The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.
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?
24 LAD seems to have picked up the pace where it left off 4 years ago. Great story line, lots of action and nail biting. Hopefully Fox will give it the thumbs up for renewal because it is performing!
I just started watching 24 this season and was immediately hooked! I love the story line and fast pace. It’s very entertaining and terrific viewing. Jack makes the show! Keep it around for a few more seasons!
The best TV serie, You Should continue to produce this series.
Thanks
The 24 reboot follows the storyline and is consistent with this first 8 seasons. I’ve waited patiently for this for four long and arduous years. Its everything it should be. God bless Jack Bauer.
Please keep it going
24 should be renewed . 24- live another day is so action pact and JACK IS BACK !!!!!
24 is the best show on the T.V.!! I think it’s the best show on any network. It restores my faitg in quality television. The Writers continue to outdue themselves. Thanks for bringing it back this year, and hope I have something to look forward to next year.
Please bring Jack Back!!
I say they need to renew this I was over joyed to find out 24 was back.. Now today after watching the show I’m crushed that there would even be a possible renew or cancel issue.. This a great show & I hope to whom the powers may be that they read this & renew! There’s a lot of other shows that should be cancelled that truly suck. This is so not one of them. Keep making them & I will be forever thankful!
Yes, please bring Jack back! This is an awesome series. No more reality shows. The 24 action is non-stop and exciting!. Bring back Jack in the fall!!
Literally my favorite show ever. No one beats Jack Bauer.
Renew. Jack is back and better than ever! Have loved this season.
The 12 episode format is even better than the old format. This is the best show on television. I am shocked that the ratings haven’t been better. But I guess we have to keep in mind that it used to start in January. Summer ratings are always lower.
The better explanation (explained here or elsewhere) is the targeted commercial demographics. Guess those of us with grey matter and outside that age group are irrelvant. Response: Boycott FOX until quality programming returns.
RENEW!!!! Love this show! Followed from Session 1 and this season was as good or better than any!
ABSOLUTELY!!! And geopolitically relevant. Perhaps FOX, commercial-catering to the younger set – should create a night of shows for those of us outside their current demographic – we are still consumers.
Time for “Bones” to go- the pretty people have been fun; show now stale.
Our family loves the 24 series, the action, story lines, music and tempo are the closest thing to a movie production on the small screen. We were psyched when it came back on and hope Fox’s renews it for another season. The ratings would support another season, go Jack Bauer!
We’ve been enthusiastic fans for all these years!! We were truly thrilled to see the ads that told us in May that”Jack is back.” This series has been exceptional – lots of action, and Kiefer looks great and does great along with Chloe and the rest of the cast…please, please continue to produce this series. It is some of the very best entertainment out there….I can’t tell you how many times we’ve been watching something and said, “that’s not how Jack would have done it!” Or, “these guys really need Jack Bauer!” Thanks for trying again, and we hope you… Read more »
