24 is back (again!), but without Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland). Who will save the day?
According to Fox, the new 24: Legacy 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, with each episode representing one hour of an eventful day." So … it's a 24 reboot. 24 veterans Howard Gordon, Manny Coto and Evan Katz are executive producing the show.
The pilot will revolve around a military hero's return to the US and "the trouble that follows him back," Fox said in a release. The hero asks CTU for help in saving his life and—surprise—has to stop what could be one of the largest-scale terrorist attacks on American soil.
"The pilot was just ordered, so in terms of casting we've had conversations with producers but we're not out to an actor yet," Fox boss Dana Walden told reporters at TCA.
The new hero will be a "significant focus of the show, there's also a female co-lead," Walden said. "It doesn't feel like it's fully replicating the original in terms of how much Jack Bauer is carrying, but it's a very prominent lead."
