This was fast

The swift demise of 24: Legacy is not something Walden or Madden seemed too cut up about. "We're really exploring what the future might be," said Walden, stressing that the 24 brand is fluid. "Perhaps it will live in a more anthological story franchise.

Fox has already discussed the next possible iteration with executive producers Howard Gordon and Brian Grazer, with Walden saying "they have a really exciting idea" "in the very early stages." Returning to the show's homeland security themes, however, is off the table for now. "The next version of 24 will not be CTU," said Madden, referring tot he show's fictional counter terrorism organization. "We want to take that same kind of ticking clock and apply it to something else."

That something else, Walden joked, was not going to be too much of a stretch, like science-fiction, but she copped afterwards to a small group that viewers were "sick" of seeing current events translated to drama.

Make it a real-time 24-episode mockumentary on developing ideas for a new season of 24.

 

[norm9]

New guy was ok. Bring back Kiefer, Chloe, Tony, and his coffee mug.

 

[Oriel]

Hmm, 24 but without the homeland security theme underpinning it? Then what's the bloody point?

 

[jelly]

Didn't like Legacy and the old series was very long in the tooth already. It's for the best.

24 - How do we make Homeland with a clock.

 

[Plinko]

Kiefer is fine on Designated Survivor.

 

[kirblar]

The horse. It is dead. Stop beating it.

 

[Heavy_D206]

Kiefer is fine on Designated Survivor.

Yeah, but that's not Jack Bauer and the world NEEDS Jack Bauer.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

I even enjoyed Legacy to a point but this sounds awful.

 

[Lyte Edge]

Preview of the new concept:

[HvySky]

So they rebooted it once, removing one of the two things that actually made it 24. And now they're rebooting it again, and removing the other thing that made it 24?

 

[RS4-]

24 in 2024. Cyborg Bauer and aliens.

 

[strafer]

I'm still waiting for them to add Designated Survivor to the 24 universe and have Jack secretly be the President.

 

[FullMetaltech]

Just call it "24:" and make it like the Office. I honestly don't know how they'd make a show without the homeland stuff.

 

[Ghost Lynx]

I'm pretty sure the original idea behind 24 was that it would be about a different group of characters every season. So one season its a counter terrorist unit, the next season a hospital in a crisis, the next season ???

I always thought that was a really neat idea, and wouldn't mind them exploring some different concepts using the "real-time" format.

But all that changed once Jack Bauer asked for a hacksaw.

 

[gforguava]

This is what they should've done the minute they couldn't continue with Jack Bauer, the realtime concept can be put on almost anything to spice it up.

 

[Line_HTX]

So without CTU does that mean Jack will have help outside the legal realm post Day 9?

 

[Nobility]

They just won't let this show die.

24 had its moment, let it be.

No Bauer = no sale.

 

[shaneo632]

Legacy was fucking lazy dog-turd for the most part. I won't expect much from this.

 

[cr0w]

Needs to be about a dude who needs to poop real bad but can't find a bathroom.

 

[whiteninja]

Wasnt one of the original ideas for the show a comedy of sorts?

 

[Corpsepyre]

Ugh. Please just make another season with Bauer. Enough with this reboot bullshit

 

[Chained Prometheus]

But all that changed once Jack Bauer asked for a hacksaw.

Yuuuuuup. Once Jack went full HAM at the end of Season 2 Episode 1, the show was always destined to focus on just how insanely badass Jack Bauer is.

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

Live Another Day: Cut down the episode count, killing the 24 hour gimmick
Legacy: No Jack Bauer
Threeboot: No CTU

Like, what do you have left of the series at that point?

 

[Nameless]

Unless it's starting Jack, Tony, Chase, or Kate Morgan no thanks

 

[Ri'Orius]

Do a romcom: 24 hours focused on a couple's wedding. Family drama, bridal party drama, budding relationships, flashbacks (those are allowed in 24, right?), etc.

Y'know, kind of like the last season of HIMYM. That worked, right?

 

[Jack Scofield]

Make it a real-time 24-episode mockumentary on developing ideas for a new season of 24.

This would be fantastic.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

I do not understand how they think 24 is original or good.

 

[tearsintherain]

24 hours of watching someone play video games, they could simulcast it on twitch

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

I do not understand how they think 24 is original or good.

It was a huge hit, so they obviously want to keep the gravy train a rollin'.

24 hours of watching someone play video games, they could simulcast it on twitch

24 hours of TV people pretending to play video games?

Yeah, no thanks.

 

[ZiggyPalffyLA]

Didn't like Legacy and the old series was very long in the tooth already. It's for the best.

24 - How do we make Homeland with a clock.

Nah, Homeland is 24 without a clock.

 

[Sanjuro]

I'd watch 24 starting Charlie Sheen.

 

[Jazzy Network]

Live Another Day: Cut down the episode count, killing the 24 hour gimmick
Legacy: No Jack Bauer
Threeboot: No CTU

Like, what do you have left of the series at that point?

Terrorists?

 

[zma1013]

No CTU? Who is Jack fighting against if not a mole?

"Jack is back... and this time he's his own worst enemy... he's the mole now dog."

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

No CTU? Who is Jack fighting against if not a mole?

"Jack is back... and this time he's his own worst enemy... he's the mole now dog."

Jack isn't in this season either.

 

[newtypepilot]

It ain't 24 without Jack.

It's not a hard concept to understand.

 

[oldmario]

plan a season 1-8 blu-ray boxset instead would you fox?

 

[Fugu]

I'm pretty sure the original idea behind 24 was that it would be about a different group of characters every season. So one season its a counter terrorist unit, the next season a hospital in a crisis, the next season ???

There's a show out there called The Wire that'll blow your mind.

 

[Instro]

24: Prehistoric

 

[AuthenticM]

I firmly believe that when Kiefer is done with Designated Survivor, Fox will throw money at him until he comes back home.

 

[CoffeeExpress]

Just bring back CTU with Jack, Tony and Chole. Actually, not sure if Tony made it since I didn't watch the legacy reboot.

 

[darkwing-buck]

There was a time Jack Bauer was the most dangerous man on the planet.

Dude killed someone with a freaking flare gun on live television!!!

 

[strafer]

Just bring back CTU with Jack, Tony and Chole. Actually, not sure if Tony made it since I didn't watch the legacy reboot.

He was wasted as all fuck in the reboot. Don't know why they even bothered to bring him back.

 

[Soapbox Killer]

24: Futures
Do it like Quantum Break. Have old jack find grizzled jack to stop young jack. Palmer has to die in order to save the future.

24: Missions
Based on NASA's return to glory

 

[Jhoan]

 

[Lashley]

I liked Legacy...

 

[Gabriel_Logan]

No one gives a fuck about 24 without Bauer.

 

[strafer]

Let's go down memory lane.

Season 1 trailer for 24.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyWafhzs6zw

And to think this premiered only 2 months after 9/11.

 

[Dysun]

Kiefer Sutherland is 24

Lets just drop it if they can't get him back
