The clock is offically ticking again, with the release of the trailer for 24: Legacy. Fox have rebooted the uber-popular franchise, but this time Jack Bauer has been relieved of his duties of constantly saving the world from impending doom (and having his family kidnapped), and replaced by Eric Carter (Corey Hawkins) an American war hero who becomes the target of terrorists.
The 12-episode, real-time show won’t air until early February next year, but by the looks of things will bring back the classic adrenaline-fueled-race-against-time-to-stop-a-devastating-terrorist-attack format of the original series.
Starring Hawkins (Straight Outta Compton), Miranda Otto (Homeland) and Jimmy Smits (Sons of Anarchy), 24: Legacy reunites the original series’ producing team of Howard Gordon, Brian Grazer, Manny Coto and Evan Katz; director Stephen Hopkins; and “24” star Kiefer Sutherland, who all serve as executive producers.
