24: Legacy is an upcoming American television series produced for the Fox network. The series is a spin-off of 24 which was created by Joel Surnow and Robert Cochran. Consisting of 12 episodes, the show follows the life of war hero Eric Carter, played by Corey Hawkins, using real time method of narration.[2] Miranda Otto plays Rebecca Ingram, the former head of the now revived Counter Terrorist Unit in Los Angeles.[3] The series is scheduled to premiere on February 5, 2017, serving as the lead-out program for Super Bowl LI, and then will move its regular time slot of Mondays at 8:00 pm.[4]

The series begins with Carter, an ex-Army Ranger who has returned to America, and the trouble that follows him back, compelling him to ask CTU to save his life, and potentially stopping the largest terrorist attacks on American soil.

Currently, no actor from the original series is set to return, but some are alluded to or shown via pictures.[5]

Production

Conception

In January 2015, another installment of the 24 franchise was pitched by executive producers Howard Gordon, Evan Katz, Manny Coto and Brian Grazer. It revolves around a stable of supporting characters rather than Kiefer Sutherland as Jack Bauer in the lead role.[13] In May 2015, Fox announced the continued development of a new version of 24.[14] In June 2015, Howard Gordon stated that a spin-off would feature a new young male lead, alongside a slightly older, more experienced, female agent. Evan Katz and Manny Coto are confirmed to return as writers and executive producers. It is confirmed that this spin-off includes the "real time" feature as Gordon says it is the tradition of the show.[15]

In January 2016, Fox announced it had ordered a pilot for a spin-off series titled 24: Legacy, featuring a new cast, with no returning characters. The series retains the real-time format, however, consist of 12 episodes, using time jumps to cover the events of a single day. The two lead characters are a male military hero returning home and a female who is a former head of CTU.[5] Stephen Hopkins, who directed the original 24 pilot and several first season episodes, directed the Legacy pilot.[16] In April 2016, Fox officially greenlit the series with a 12-episode order.[17]

In June 2015, Sutherland said, when asked about the future of Jack Bauer, "I am not coming back to do 24". Sutherland said that "24 is such a great idea, that this could go on forever". Sutherland said he felt it was important to have a new cast to keep the series and he hopes to maybe have a cameo in the future.[18] In September 2015, Sutherland seemingly ruled out any further involvement with the show, stating that he would "definitely not return in any way."[19] In February 2016, Sutherland said regarding about possibly returning to 24: "I've learned enough over the last few years to not say never. We were never going to do a season nine when we finished after the eighth season. I said we were done. So I'm going to just say we'll see." He also said regarding the Legacy pilot script that it is "really cool" and that he would be the "first person to watch it".[20]

Casting

The role of Eric Carter, the male lead, is portrayed by Corey Hawkins, and the female lead, Rebecca Ingram, is played by Miranda Otto.[2][3] In February 2016, several castings were announced, including Anna Diop as Nicole Carter, Eric's wife;[9] Teddy Sears as Keith Mullins, the head of CTU;[7] and Jimmy Smits as John Donovan, the husband of Rebecca Ingram and a powerful U.S. Senator with higher political aspirations.[6] In March 2016, Dan Bucatinsky, Coral Pena and Charlie Hofheimer were cast; Bucatinsky and Pena as Andy and Gia, two communication analysts at CTU; and Hofheimer as Marcus, Eric's former partner in the Army Ranger unit, now suffering PTSD.[8] Ashley Thomas was cast as Isaac Carter, Eric's older brother.[10] Sheila Vand was cast as Nilaa, the campaign director of Sen. Donovan.[11]
