How 24 Legacy will be fresh!

– CTU Headquarters- Prior CTU’s were branches of CTU
– New Cast
– 24 Legacy focuses on Isis, sleeper cells, radicalizing Americans, and PTSD (Contemporary)
– Same unique format
– 12 episodes as opposed to 24 episodes

For Jack Bauer or Chloe to return, 24 Legacy being a success, is the only chance unfortunately

Also this is season 1 of 24 Legacy, so it needs to feel like season 1 of 24 as its a new day for a new hero!

When 24 started in 2001, it did not start big, it got bigger in seasons after season 1. The same may happen with 24 Legacy!

The format is sturdy and unique and I think 24 Legacy will be enough of a success to return for season 2, especially since Fox is struggling in the ratings these days.

A lot has changed since the original series launched in fall 2001, in the wake of the 9/11 attacks, and aired in the era of Al-Queda. 24: Legacy reflects the new realities of decentralized terrorist activities under ISIS. The 2001 24 was an instant hit, providing a hero in Jack Bauer when the nation needed one. “It is driven by a wish fulfillment character, a character we all wish we could be,” Grazer said.

24: Legacy comes out with another blue-collar hero at a time when there is an increased emphasis on reflecting all Americans, especially the often-neglected (by the networks) flyover states. “I think middle America will watch the show and they will feel a sense of escape and relief by watching it,” Grazer said.
