The real-time spy action thriller
television series is coming back, but unfortunately this time without the
iconic rogue agent Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland), or any of the original cast.
Nothing lasts forever they say.
The reboot will have an all-new cast, with
producers currently seeking an African-American actor to take over from the
longtime series star who has firmly walked into the sunset. A latino actor
might as well be considered for the role.
Fox has given an official pilot order
to 24: Legacy, a new series starter that contains many of the
hallmarks of the original action hit that launched in 2001 and ran for nine
seasons on Fox: “The pilot will feature an all-new cast of characters and
retain the real-time, pulse-pounding, fast-paced format with split screens and complex
interweaving storylines of an eventful day” Original producers Howard Gordon,
Manny Coto and Evan Katz will return as executive producers.
FOX CEO Dana Walden also mentioned the new
series will forego the original’s 24-episode structure and instead feature 12
episodes.
The 24 reboot is about a
military hero who returns to the U.S. and the trouble that follows him back –
compelling him to ask the Counter Terrorist Unit for help in saving his life,
and stopping what potentially could be one of the largest-scale terror attacks
on American soil.
The pilot, filming some time this winter,
has not yet been cast, but the process is underway.
Obviously, the show won’t be the same
without Jack, and we’ll definitely miss him. Damn it! *in his voice*
