24: Legacy was headlined by The Walking Dead star Corey Hawkins, making a much-anticipated premiere after Fox’s Super Bowl telecast in February and drawing in 17.5 million viewers. However, that momentum quickly faded, and the first season ended in April to a 3.4 million audience and a series-low 0.8 demo rating.24: Legacy took place in the same universe as 24 and its Sutherland-starring sequel, 24: Live Another Day, but made a point to distinguish itself from its predecessors, with no previous 24 cast members making an appearance except for Carlos Bernard’s Tony Almeida.
Here’s the synopsis for 24: Legacy courtesy of Fox:
To thwart further attacks, Carter enlists REBECCA INGRAM (Miranda Otto, ‘Homeland’), who quarterbacked the raid that killed Bin-Khalid. She’s a brilliant and ambitious intelligence officer who has stepped down from her post as National Director of CTU to support her husband, SENATOR JOHN DONOVAN (Emmy and Golden Globe Award winner Jimmy Smits, ‘NYPD Blue,’ ‘The West Wing’), in his campaign for President of the United States. Decades of sleepless nights and missed anniversaries landed her at the top. With the White House within their grasp, can she truly embrace a new role as First Lady? Or will her love of the action draw her back in?"
“Six months ago in Yemen, an elite squad of U.S. Army Rangers, led by Sergeant ERIC CARTER (Corey Hawkins, ‘Straight Outta Compton’), killed terrorist leader Sheik Ibrahim Bin-Khalid. In the aftermath, Bin-Khalid’s followers declared a fatwah against Carter, his squad and their families, forcing them into federal witness protection. But a recent attempt on Carter’s own life makes it clear to him that his team has been exposed.
And maybe the next 24 series will finally answer the question: When do they go to the bathroom?
