The network has handed out early series orders to two of its most high-profile pilots this season, both hailing from its sibling studio 20th Century Fox TV: 24: Legacy and Lee Daniels' Star. Legacy, which now counts former 24 star Kiefer Sutherland as an executive producer, is picked up for 12 episodes, while Star has scored the traditional 13.
24: Legacy is a new take on the franchise that features an all-new cast of characters and is structured in the same style of the original series. Legacy revolves around a military hero's (Corey Hawkins, Straight Outta Compton, The Walking Dead) return to the U.S. and the trouble that follows him back — compelling him to ask CTU for help in saving his life, and stopping what potentially could be one of the largest-scale terror attacks on American soil. Miranda Otto, Jimmy Smits and Dan Bucatinsky co-star in the drama that hails from the show's original producing team of showrunners Manny Coto and Evan Katz, with Howard Gordon and Brian Grazer on board as exec producers on the project from Imagine TV and Gordon's Teakwood Lane. Stephen Hopkins directed the pilot. Sutherland will exec produce and will not have an onscreen role as he stars in ABC's straight-to-series drama Designated Survivor.

Sounds like it’s gonna really be “12” anyway, but I’m still optimistic.
No Jack, no 24. No Chole, no way to track the bad guys and get diagrams of buildings with blueprints. The cell phones will not work in buildings either I bet. Doomed to a short life methinks.
Don’t understand why they haven’t rerun 24 unless DVD sales remain stout.
Where is the new thread!!!!
