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?

A DEVOTED 24 ADMIRER, SUZAN C WILSON
I absolutely agree!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Renew! No brainer.
Why not make another 12 hours after this. Turn this into a full season, and then go from there. Mostly because Jack Bauer raising hell in my home country is must see tv.
Renew! It’s much better than most of the shows out now – give it a chance by having season 10 air earlier in the year. I think Yvonne Strahovski is a great partner and can help carry the storyline!
PLEASE KEEP 24!!
RENEW!!!! Fox could do a spin off similar to Cinemax Strike Back where Jack Bauer would be picked up by a different nation for their own use.
Do not cancel
Not for 1 season Don’t ever cancell it, one of the best TV shows I ever seen. mind blowing!!!!!
In the pass I believe 24 aired earlier in the year. I believe this late spot in May was a bad decision. Now is the time people are away a lot. I believe 24 should be renewed but air from February.
Please RENEW!!!
I really like 24. I hope it continues.
Yes, renew for another season. The show is good it keeps you on the edge of your seat through out.
Let Jack do his thing and continue to have the moments of doupt is he is going to get out of the extreme situation he’s in.
