24 (Season 9) Live Another Day-----*Spoilers*

[MacNut]

So there will be another '24'. But without Jack, or any of the other characters we all know and mostly love.

It’s official: Fox is making a new version of 24.

Also official: The reboot will have an all-new cast, with producers currently seeking an African-American actor to take over for longtime series star Kiefer Sutherland.

Fox has ordered a pilot for 24: Legacy, a new series starter that contains many of the hallmarks of the original action hit that launched in 2001 and ran for nine seasons on Fox: “The pilot will feature an all-new cast of characters and retain the real-time, pulse-pounding, fast-paced format with split screens and complex interweaving storylines, with each episode representing one hour of an eventful day.” Original producers Howard Gordon, Manny Coto and Evan Katz will return as executive producers.

But that means Jack Bauer (Sutherland) has firmly walked off into the sunset. Sutherland has recently been cast in a new ABC thriller called Designated Survivor, where he’ll play a man suddenly handed the presidency after a catastrophic attack during the State of the Union address.

The 24 reboot is about a military hero, “Eric Carter,” who returns to the U.S. and the trouble that follows him back – compelling him to ask the Counter Terrorist Unit for help in saving his life, and stopping what potentially could be one of the largest-scale terror attacks on American soil.

I saw this earlier today. Not sure if I want to watch it without Jack.

Jack Bauer WAS the reason anyone watched the show.

One of my most favorite scenes ever:

Well I always liked Chloe.

It might be good for the show to clean house and start fresh. We have had 9 years of Jack. Maybe we need a new character to kill the terrorists.

The writers have made so many plot holes that they can't fill so a clean slate might be what the series needs.

24 - Live Another Day entire season is now $9.99 on iTunes. I just bought it. It was the only season I didn't own yet.

Would hope they hand the show off to the new crew and not just start over. Jack flying away with the Russians can't be the end of his story line. We need closure because they left the door open.

Will give the new show a watch. Tough act to follow...

Seriously!! A 24 without Jack is NOT 24.

That said, what I loved most about 24 was the real time element. I am open to see what they come up with, but I don't think they can match what the original creators came up with. Season 5 was my favorite!

UPDATE:

A lead for the show has been cast. Yes, Kiefer Sutherland days are over!
