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.

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 is a great TV show and it must be renewed.
Love the action and thrill that 24 produces.
Keep it going.
Love 24 always did..If ratings are low it’s because it’s summer and most people are on vacation. I watch the Monday night episode and two or three more times during the week on Xfinity. Jack is back!!
I am glad it is back on. Some of the garbage they have on TV now is crap. Keep Jack coming. Never get to much of 24. If they do not continue this show. Then Jack should do what he does best, hunt them down,LOL
It is a so stupid story!
It’s great to have a real action show back again. On the edge of my seat every hour. Why do only the 18-49 demographic count? Everyone, I speak to regarding 24, loves it and we are all over 60. Love it, love it, love it. It’s about time we have a say in the TV schedule.
Great show! Always loved it!!! Intense, interesting, thrilling. Can’t believe everything depends on 18-49 yo’s watching the show in real time! In the summer?! You’ve got to be kidding. Please please come up with a new rating system suitable for this era of technology, cable boxes and insane work and homework hours. So many marvelous shows have been canceled for no good reason. The advertisers need to be better educated on modern viewing habits.
Jack is back! The fastest 60 minutes on TV
I love the show…always have…I’m sure the ratings are down because of its release date…summer is a bad time to sit home and watch TV…I too watch it on fox’s website the night after or later…this does not count in the ratings I’m told….bring Jack back…
Keep it going excellent writers jack is back!,
24 should be renewed, but get away from terrorism plots. I’d like to know what jack was doing undercover the last few years.
I’m living it. Really hope they bring it back. Maybe try a fall release though. I always watch it next day on Hulu, so there could be a lot of people like me watching it who don’t get counted as viewers.
Good point. I watch 24 on Tuesday night…on Fox’s website. Damn, I wonder if they count internet viewers.
Renew!!!!!
It has been a fantastic experience seeing “24” once again with the same intense story line and action . I had wondered if it could carry it’s weight as it did before since government thrillers have been so prevalent and I was not disappointed. It defidently held true to its old reputation. The acting was great.. and it was good to see some of the old familiar faces for transition but this style program even with Keifer Sutherland could gather any good actors around his character and succeed. It is all to do with the excellent production style. For sure… Read more »
I agree. Love the show. Can’t wait for the next episode. I hope they extend the series.
Love it! Better than ever….bring Jack back for another season!
Bad time of the year…better in the fall. Great show, as good as ever!
Yeah Fall is definitely better
