The season finale aired back in the middle of April, and Fox declined to make a decision about renewal or cancellation by the time of upfronts due to the fact that Corey Hawkins’ schedule has him busy on Broadway in the fall premiere season.
Showrunner Manny Coto seemed optimistic about Fox giving Legacy a second chance after the finale first aired, but we now know that Legacy is one-and-done.
Of course, the promise of more 24 series in the future may not soothe the sting of Legacy’s cancellation, not least because the announcement of its future was pushed back for as long as it was and gave us time to hope.
