24: Legacy

24: Legacy follows Eric Carter, a highly trained American soldier who returns home to a country still reeling from the threats of global terrorism. Instead of settling back into quiet civilian life, he finds himself hunted by a deadly conspiracy that forced him to reengage with the CTU and the people who trained him. With a ticking clock and a web of danger closing in, Carter must rally trusted allies to uncover an imminent attack and clear his name, all while grappling with the personal toll of his mission. The series blends fast moving twists with a sense of moral urgency that fans of 24 will recognize, as loyalties are tested and stakes keep escalating.

Premiering in 2017 as a spin off of the long running 24 franchise, the series was created by Manny Coto, Evan Katz and Nelson Greaves and features Corey Hawkins as Eric Carter alongside a civilian cast rooted in CTU lore.

The show aimed to expand the 24 universe by introducing a diverse younger lead and a new regional flavor, reflecting modern counterterrorism ideas. It kept the real time feel and high stakes that defined the original, while threading in contemporary politics and global hotspots.

The reception was mixed, reflected in a 6.2 out of 10 average from an audience. Critics praised the performances of Corey Hawkins and Miranda Otto and the brisk, procedural rhythm, while some felt the reboot lacked the bite of the original. Themes include loyalty, sacrifice and the costs of security.

Awards: The show did not gain major nominations for any of the industry awards. It drew praise from some reviewers but failed to translate into widespread recognition on the awards circuit, mirroring its short run and single season life.
