Like “The Garden” without Eve.
Last season sucked, whispering nitwit, they will go PC no Islamic terrorist plots, even though they are happening as we speak.
Like Frosty The Snowman with out the snowman.
Without Jack, what’s the point?
Since both Chuch Norris, and Superman wear Jack Baur underwear there is no way a series without Jack would be something I would watch. oh, and that includes “chloe” character. Integral to who and what Jack is. Like Hetty is NCIS: LA...Jack is “24”!
I sorta felt that way about the “Bourne” series. Only they should have just cast Jeremy Renner from the get go, instead of the guy from F.A.G.
Don’t bother! “24” fans are Bauer fans.
What world do these people live in? No Jack and you have no show, at least not one anyone would watch. It is like making a Dirty Harry movie without Clint Eastwood!
Translation: FOX doesn’t want to pay the salary Kiefer Sutherland is demanding.
It would be a bomb No Jack no 24
Fox doesn’t know jack about their fans.
If they want ablacksuper secret agent, then spend the capital to create one, and nurture it over decades and multiple stories until it becomes culturally iconic in its own right.
24 isn't just about the real-time format. It's about the character of the ruthless assassin working for the government to protect the nation at great personal cost. Jack Bauer is a character that was nurtured for over a decade to be an "anti-James Bond" who doesn't get the riches and women as his reward. He instead loses his family, lives underground in squalor, and is an enemy of his nation.
Sure, they could start again with a fresh cast, but they should plan to start the characters from a fresh perspective, and plot an arc that takes the characters in a different direction over many stories.
Maybe take an idealistic soldier who rejects the wanton brutality of Bauer as a first choice, and then learns over time and high cost to the nation the consequences of his inactions.
Then, maybe, bring back Bauer in a few cameo appearances.

No, no, no, no, and...NO!
But how realistic is it for a 50+ man to carry on like Jack does on the show? We don’t want this to turn into Barnaby Jones. I wouldn’t mind if they introduced another partner for him and he trained him for the eventual transition to a new character.
How about Dexter Morgan? He gets a lot done in 24 hrs.
They could do a series about fighting cocaine dealers who are holding Hollywood stars hostage. Plenty of opportunities to mention Kiefer Sutherland.
NO JACK, NO CHLOE, NO JUSTICE!.....simple as that!
