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?
Please renew 24 it is even better than before if that is possible. Each episode is gripping and well done my favorite I can not believe there are only 2 episodes remaining.
Let’s all boycott Fox if they don’t bring this show back, and for a FULL season(s)!!! Fox teased us with a few GREAT episodes of the return of Jack Bauer, then pulls the plug! Well, turn about is fair play! We’ll pull the plug on FOX if they don’t bring Jack Back!
IMHO The best show on tv.. An automatic date night for me wife and I…the only reason I would watch tv on a Monday night..the most talked about show among friends…PLEASE More 24!!! A lot more!
24 best show on TV. Please renew for another season. Nothing can keep Jack down, he hasn’t lost a step in 4 yrs. Reality shows are a dud. I don’t watch anything except action and adventure and 24 IS THE BEST EVER AND ALWAYS WILL BE!!!!!!
Definitely bring it back! I wasn’t able to watch “24” due to conflicts to other shows I watch, but now I’m HOOKED! Who’s the people saying this is bad acting and writing? You have NO idea what you are talking about! I’m on pins and needles watching this show all the time, now THAT’S called great writing and acting! PLEASE BRING JACK BAUER BACK!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Live Another Day is excellent in every way. The IMDb ratings are almost through the roof. If people don’t watch it it’s their loss. There’s non-stop action with less violence and no torture scenes so far. Eventually they’ll catch up but it will be too late. As so often happens. Actually I wouldn’t mind a 12-episode run every year. This forces writers to keep things tight and focused.
This show is probably the first show i ever watched seriously without skipping a minute of it. It should be renewed for another season with full 24 episodes if you ask me.(12 is also alright). Jack is back no doubt, i don’t see a single flaw in Kiefer’s performance. Yvonne(Kate) is also doing good, seems like a perfect field partner for Jack. This show is perfect by all means, never seen anything quite so far like this. The reason for low ratings could be that it all seems pretty boring, same old planning, undercover agents, they are planning attack. This… Read more »
Why not Audrey? I didn’t watch “24” original, so not sure what’s going on there. But you can clearly see that there’s some strong feelings there between the two of them. Why did they break up? Do tell!!!! 🙂
Hello You need to watch 24 original if you want to know what really happened, if i tell you that spoiler here, you won’t be able to enjoy it. Watching that would be more fun than reading. Anyway i am gonna tell you here. Read it if you want. Well, in the original 24 series, when jack was kidnapped by chinese for the murder of their some officer, audery goes to china to rescue jack, But chinese fakes her death instead and captures her in their prison. Some months or years(don’t remember) later when jack got out from the chinese… Read more »
Best Drama on regular TV. Only Banshee has more action. It would be Moronic not to renew this .
Husband and I love 24 die another d a y. Please tenure! Thanks for putting it back on! Thank you. Thank you!
Please renew 24! There is no better thriller out there.
So disappointed in the writing of the show. It’s lazy. I used to watch 24 with baited breath. Now it’s so obvious they are in it for the name recognition and a quick buck. Outside of Keither, the acting is poor too. The situations and decisions of the characters come from nowhere. Watch breaking bad or homeland and you can see superb writing/acting. 25 is now a huge dud!
It’s the best written show on television and if you don’t like it don’t watch it. It’s the best show on fox and nothing has came close to it. The only reason I like/watch fox is because of 24.
Homeland was awesome in its first season but it devolved into something different from season 2 on. More night-time soap than seat of the pants drama.
Horribly written show
You and jake sound like your the same person and as far as writing, Jake calls it “25 is now a dud ????????? IF YOU DON’T LIKE IT , DON’T WATCH IT .
24 is one of the best dramas on tv today. jack bauer is so believeable and so are the characters. you would be stupid to not renew this series for another 10 years……
Keep this show PLEASE. So much better than all the stupid reality shows.
You finally bring back a great show with non stop action and great actors and you might not renew 24 would be a crime against great entertainment us who love this show. I’ve been waiting 4 years for 24 to return, you keep showing all these realty shows which are meant for people who watch these shows as feeble minted and don’t like their own lives. You also keep taking off a lot of other good shows, to many to mention to put on garbage. I’m not just referring to Fox, but please renew 24 as a weekly show I… Read more »
These ratings are not accurate. People watch it at all
Different times due to net flicks, hulu, etc. add in those numbers. Great show and great entertainment!
EXACTLY!
