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.

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?
I think did would be a crime if FOX Cancels 24. If I remember right the rating were bad in the First Season until the Character were developed into a entertaining series. I think the character are just developing in the new 24 season. Let it plAy out the President have just learn Jack back.
The limited series is a one time deal, after the 24 movie failed to happen the creator of the show wanted Jack to go out with a bang.. And to tie up loose ends.. Kiefer Sutherland has already said the show will not return..
Its the best show, very happy to see its back, and wish it keeps continued and renewed. keep jack bauer.
I think this is a great show, but they did this completely wrong. The promotion on this completely sucked. Also, the timing of this show is horrible. How do you begin this series by placing it against top shows building to their finale. Most people that know about this show are just using their DVR function and watching who knows when. They should have started this show in June or earlier in the year to accurately judge it.
PLEASE KEEP IT ON FOR ANOTHER SEASON. I WAS VERY UPSET WHEN 24 WENT OFF AIR. MY FAMILY WATCHED IT EVERY WEEK. THEN WATCHED EVERY EPISODE AND SEAN ON NETFLIX. I WAS SO HAPPY TO HEAR JACK BAUER IS BACK. PLEASE DON’T CANCEL. 24 was one of myself and my husband’s tv series.

With all the junk that’s on these days, Fox is nuts if they cancel “24”.
I didn’t even know it was back on, not very good at promoting the return. How many episodes have aired already?
Glad you’re back Jack.
I like the 24 series, and am happy that the action packed movie is back. i would like to see production of a new series. Thanks and best wishes.
Your faithful fan,

This series sucked big time and now they’re bringing it back? omg!!!!
Seems to be dropping like a stone-not a good sign for something that requires you to watch the episodes consistently.
24 is one of the best t.v. show on right now. Keep jack Bauer. Bad ass show!!!!
This is the best TV series I have ever watched. Its like reading a great book that you can’t stop reading. I watch 24 episodes and I find myself watching episode after episode till 3 or 4 in the mourning. Its hard to turn the TV off. I hope they keep 24 going for several more seasons. Thank-You Jack Bauer, and all of the cast and crew @ FOX for all the seasons so far
This article is kinda irrelevant. They always talked about 24 like it was a one-and-done deal, with no future seasons, just so it can build to the 24 movie…
It’s an event series. If the ratings are good enough, they will certainly do another one.
Would you know when FOX will reach a decision if they will keep it on the air or not. Some of us that are real Fans , want to know if we’ll have that to watch again ???
No, there’s no timeline for decisions on shows that air at this time of year. However, based on the declining ratings, I think this is the last we’ll see of 24 for awhile.
