After the 24: Live Another Day event series, which extending the original series with another chapter featuring Jack Bauer & Co., Fox is going for a full reboot with 24: Legacy, a new ongoing series with new all-new characters. Fox has given a pilot order to the project, from the 24 trio of Howard Gordon, Manny Coto and Evan Katz, which has original star Kiefer Sutherland as an executive producer. (He is not expected to reprise his role as Bauer, at least not in the pilot).
The new 24 series will revolve around a military hero’s return to the U.S. and the trouble that follows him back – compelling him to ask CTU for help in saving his life, and stopping what potentially could be one of the largest-scale terror attacks on American soil.
I hear the twentysomething man was conceived as an African American, and the actors approached for the part so far all have been black. The female lead is a woman with a long history at the agency. 24: Legacy which retains the original’s real-time format with split screens and complex interweaving storylines, each episode representing one hour of an eventful day,
The pilot order comes after Gordon, Coto and Katz delivered a script in December, which was very enthusiastically received at Fox.
24: Legacy is produced by 20th Century Fox Television, Imagine Television and Gordon’s Teakwood Lane Productions. Howard Gordon, Brian Grazer, Manny Coto, Evan Katz and Kiefer Sutherland are executive producers.
The original series, which ran for 8 seasons, was created by Joel Surnow and Robert Cochran. It won an Emmy for best drama series when Sutherland won for best actor in a drama series.
