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?
Huge fan!! Best show on TV. Please please please bring it back
I want u to bring it back. I can’t wait for another season of 24.
I loved it. Best program on TV.
yes please!! more seasons! great show!! keep it going.
Huge fan. You must keep it going!!
yes excellent show keep it going
Although ratings were lower, it was a summer series so that is to be expected. Perhaps the main hindrance will be production costs. I know the series is called 24, but I loved the fewer episodes. I felt it really made series move. I also loved the London locale. It is nice to see someplace other than North America.
This is by far the best season, although short, I’ve watched it from the beginning, have always enjoyed it and all the characters, every year, please consider bringing it back, I believe it will be enjoyed by all! I would much rather see this type show than all of the sitcoms or the reality junk that is about all we see. Again, please consider bringing this back next season.
I love 24 it was one of the best suspense shows that really hooked me. As for live another day it was great but it would have been a lot better if the storyline was in the good ole U.S.A. Most people don’t know England or London. I know I was lost about where they were. Please do one more full season. Bring the story back to the US. I believe you’ll be surprised about the ratings.
Love it!!! Bring it back please.
Excellent series. Previous 24 viewer. Great writing and cast! Kiefer Sutherland did not skip a beat!!
This was one of the greatest series on TV. Can’t believe they cancelled it. Just loved the newest series but it was not long enough. Please bring it back . Would also love to see a 24 movie!
Sure hope it returns. It is a sit on the edge of your chair show. Has always been my favorite show and the new series is great.
I got hooked on the past series from the DVD’s as I had not watched it when it was last on the air, etc. This new updated/condensed version, totally surpassed my expectations. The story line never stalled and the plots were very unpredictable which kept each episode packing punches! I don’t think this rating system is a true reading of this fan base at all and I for one look forward to my, ” Jack attack,” every week! The casting was spot on with every episode! I do have to say that it will be disappointing NOT to have William… Read more »
24 is the best suspense show on television, of which there are not enough of. It is well written with many edge of your seat twists and turns. This show has it all — action, adventure, intrigue, espionage, and did I say non-stop action! You never know who to trust, who will turn, who will die — no one is safe, everyone is fair game. Too many t.v. shows and movies are so predictable these days but 24 has continued to stay politically and socially relevant. It has spawned many spin-offs but non as good as the original. Please, please.… Read more »
