24: Legacy Officially Cancelled By FOX

FOX has officially decided to not bring back 24: Legacy for a second season but the network hints that the franchise itself could still continue. The network, producing studio 20th TV and producers Howard Gordon and Brian Grazer are exploring a potential new, more anthological/event series 24 incarnation.

24: Legacy rebooted the original Fox series with a new host of characters and a new cast, led by Corey Hawkins, Miranda Otto and Jimmy Smits. The show premiered to solid ratings when it aired after the Super Bowl but it eventually saw tepid ratings for most of its run that ended on April 17.

At the upfronts, Fox execs said that they wanted to sit down with Gordon to see where the franchise perhaps could go next. Talks are continuing, possibly with new incarnations that each features new storylines and characters.
