24 was revived again this past season for a 12-episode sequel series, 24: Legacy, with no Bauer; now, the future of the 24 franchise is uncertain once again.
24, the action-adventure series starring Kiefer Sutherland as counterterrorism agent Jack Bauer, was one of the most significant network TV phenomena of the current millennium, following its debut in late 2001.
24: Legacy is another example of this, and judging by the Variety report, the network is not done with it yet.
But while Carlos Bernard’s Tony Almeida returned, the new 24 was missing a key element — Jack Bauer.
