24: Legacy

...and 24 lives on, but without Jack Bauer/Kiefer Sutherland :(

After much talk, Fox is seriously considering bringing back "24" with a formal pilot order for a reboot of the series, titled "24: Legacy," Variety has learned. The pilot will film this winter.

Kiefer Sutherland's Jack Bauer character would not be part of the revival series, which will feature an all-new cast of characters, but will retain "24's" format of real-time storytelling with split screens and like the original, each episode will represent one hour of an eventful day.

"24: Legacy" will revolve around a military hero's return to the U.S. and the trouble that follows him back — compelling him to ask CTU for help in saving his life, and stopping what potentially could be one of the largest-scale terror attacks on American soil.

Original "24" producers Howard Gordon, Manny Coto, Evan Katz and Imagine's Brian Grazer will return as exec producers.

Well, 24 took a serious nosedive a long time ago anyway.  The first two or three series were genuinely brilliant, but the writers quickly ran out of ideas.  Every single series...OMG there's a nuclear bomb in LA!

What, you didn't think 24: London Calling was a breath of fresh air?

I didn't watch it, I'd given up long before then.

I'm looking forward to 24: Gallifrey.
