This series doesn't deserve Idris Elba.

 

[Raynes]

They could do what they did in the second season of Strike Back and

Spoiler

have the main character killed in the first episode, his death livestreamed by his captors.

Give it another 10 seasons. They still have exhausted every possible Jack scenario. E.g. Jack was actually behind it all.

 

[Dan]

Elba's profile is about 20 times too high for a project like this. But I think we'll get a recognizable face leading this. Maybe Denzel? Is he in the "easy TV money" phase of his career?

You can't be serious. If Elba is 20 times too big, Denzel Washington is no less than 100 times.

 

[chadskin]

Jack Bauer is gonna be the bad guy at the end.

Hero or traitor?

HUNT THE TRUTH

 

[Tugatrix]

Not sure if want a reboot without Bauer, I would love that season of Tony rescuing Jack from the russians

 

[Sober]

If God exists they need to get Yvonne back and just have FemBauer adventures.

 

[MadLaughter]

Denzel Washington is 61 years old. Name and high profile aside, there is no way that Fox would try to establish a tentpole TV action franchise with a 61 year old man.

 

[Kathian]

Good. They needed to dump Jack years ago. Name is silly though; just call it 24.

 

[xrnzaaas]

wat

this is insane... and here I was still hoping for a Tony centered new season :/

 

[davidwhangchoi]

David Hayter should replace Kiefer.

was thinking same thing

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

If they want this show to work, they need to get a high profile actor.

 

[Carl2291]

No thanks.

They had the perfect replacement in Kate Morgan after Live Another Day, and a perfect plot set up for Season 10.

 

[diamount]

Resurrect Curtis Manning

 

[Concrete Charlie]

Interesting, could be awesome.

 

[jelly]

Needs some Lance Reddick.

Also get Clarke Peters.

Anna Torv and Yvonne Strahovski.

 

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

No Jack and no Tony, I'll pass. Keifer's new show will fail.

 

[jelly]

Good. They needed to dump Jack years ago. Name is silly though; just call it 24.

Reminds me of that other shit Legacy. Bourne. I echo just 24 or hell give yourself some room and do something new, 7 Days so you can travel around, better investigation stories.

 

[APZonerunner]

So how are they going to address

Spoiler

Jack being stuck in a Russian gulag and Tony getting busted out of prison by a black-ops group to go rescue him?

Is that just going to remain as an unresolved sequel hook?

To be fair, this doesn't have to be a hard reboot. If it goes well they can always bring Tony, Jack, or any other surviving legacy characters back into the mix at a later date. They're saying 'all new cast', but I don't take that to mean that none of the previous seasons happened until they actually say that. Obviously that has a lot of scope for smaller stuff. Like, if they cut to Washington, what happened to Karen Hayes? Or Mike Novick? What are they doing now, like a decade on? Mandy's still out there if they need another terrorist threat with a familiar face again. So they can tie in and call back in these ways if they want to. Indeed, I wouldn't be surprised to see one or two of the new Live Another Day characters crop up in the later end of the first season of this.

 

[Soapbox Killer]

I'm so in!!

Keep it intimate like season 1, no world war or bigger threat. Build a new cast of heroes and villains (please no moles for heavens sake) and don't mention Jack till season 2 at the earliest.

Did Mandy ever get caught or is that an untied thread.

 

[stn]

I would be down for Idris as the protagonist.

 

[Dalek]

I'm sure this can work without Keifer. It was the premise of the show that intrigued me, not just the same actor in the role.

The last season of 24 was fantastic, I'm dying for more.

Denzel Washington is 61 years old. Name and high profile aside, there is no way that Fox would try to establish a tentpole TV action franchise with a 61 year old man.

Holy shit-are you serious? wow

 

[ryan299]

I'm upset by this. The ending was another cliffhanger and then they include the Tony stuff on the dvd only to do a reboot. And half of the last season was set up for the new girl.

 

[ghostjoke]

No Bauer? No femBauer (can't remember her name)? No Tony? No Piece? No Chloe? No anybody? Mandy even for sake of closure? Just make a new series, Fox. Legacy is so tacky. We're going to get Kim, aren't we?

 

[D23]

cant wait to found out that one of the CTU team is a mole...

 

[velociraptor]

This show ain't ever going to be the same without Jack Bauer.

 

[Grifter]

In for Jeremy Renner in blackface.

 

[Camwi]

https://youtu.be/uVGIlWj73Mc

Man, I had no idea about that either.

 

[strikeselect]

Hell yes. My body is ready. I need more 24 in my life.

 

[strafer]

They better bring back the greatest ring tone

 

[zma1013]

The twist this time is that the mole is literally a mole that's burrowed into ctu and accidentally goes through some wires crippling ctu at an important dramatic moment. The pest control guy is then arrested on suspicious of collaborating with the mole.

 

[CoolOff]

But... Yvonne Strahovski isn't black?

 

[The Illiterati]

24 had great seasons/eps, but overall it became a terrible show with repetitive plotlines....which then became Homeland, which is also terrible. 24 would work again without the same producers/writers. But alas, we won't get that.

 

[Morts]

I think I like 24... I have three episodes left in season 7 right now and it's been a pretty dumb season, but those early years were great.

 

[J.EM1]

Going to miss Kiefer.

So.. Idris Elba? Michael Jai White? Michael Ealy?

 

[Sloane]

Sweet. Hope it makes it. (And drops all of 24's shitty tropes.)

 

[mrjohill]

I guess if Idris doesn't get James Bond, then a Black Bauer will do.

My boy Curtis Manning going to be Tony Almada'd back into the show?

Didn't he get killed by Bauer?
Edit: Or is that what you meant by tony almada'd lol

 

[Fevaweva]

I think I like 24... I have three episodes left in season 7 right now and it's been a pretty dumb season, but those early years were great.

Season 7 is fucking ridiculous and stupid, but fun. Much more so than Season 6. But Season 8...man. That is probably the best season of the show.

 

[The Faceless Master]

just make up some BS about Curtis and run with it.

 

[True Savior]

Why not 7, 12 , 13 or something.

 

[rtcn63]

I guess if Idris doesn't get James Bond, then a Black Bauer will do.

My boy Curtis Manning going to be Tony Almada'd back into the show?

That reminds me, we need a reboot of First Wave.

 

[Kadin]

A series order would be a 12-episode arc, like the 2014 revival Live Another Day, rather than the strict real-time 24-episode format of the original series. “That’s something we discussed for years, ‘It’s 24 — it has to be 24 episodes,’ ” Walden said. “I don’t think any of us believe that a 24-episode arc in this day and age is the way to go.”

I guess that makes sense but I still don't like the idea of the shows skipping time. It was fine for the short-run Live Another Day but for a full series I want my full 24 episodes god dammit!

 

[rtcn63]

If they crossover with Prison Break, they could have each series be 12 episodes taking place in the same day.

 

[Maddocks]

I'll allow it, if Big Boss can't do it, then it is good that someone else can and will. We won't ever get the sunset to happiness walk off for Jack, but time for someone else to be awake for hours and then cry in their car at what they had to do that day.

 

[Kaladin]

Funny that Sutherland is in a role on ABC where he's "handed the presidency after a catastrophic attack during the State of the Union address."

I want that as my next season of 24. That world should make Jack President with all he's done to help them, then maybe stupid shit wouldn't take 24 hours to resolve.

 

[andythinkpad]

Hand it to Gerard Butler.

 

[Line_HTX]

WHERE IS KEIFER IN THIS?!

WHERE IS HE?!!

 

[Servbot24]

Pointless without Kiefer.

 

[Vally]

No Jack?

Anyways I'm hype

 

[Tom Nook]

Jack is Black!

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

edit: too spoilery.

just have David Hayter replace him.
