Fox has released the premiere date and official
synopsis for 24: Legacy, the next evolution of the Emmy award-winning 24 series,
which sees original series star Kiefer Sutherland returning but in a different
capacity.
24: Legacy chronicles an adrenaline-fueled race
against the clock to stop a devastating terrorist attack on United States soil
– in the same real-time format that has propelled this genre-defining series.
Six months ago in Yemen, an elite squad of U.S. Army Rangers, led by Sergeant Eric
Carter (Corey Hawkins, "Straight Outta Compton"), killed terrorist
leader Sheik Ibrahim Bin-Khalid. In the aftermath, Bin-Khalid’s followers
declared a fatwah against Carter, his squad and their
families, forcing them into federal witness protection. But a recent attempt on
Carter’s own life makes it clear to him that his team is now exposed. To thwart
further attacks, Carter enlists Rebecca Ingram (Miranda Otto, "Homeland"),
who quarterbacked the raid that killed Bin-Khalid. She’s a brilliant and
ambitious intelligence officer who has stepped down from her post as National
Director of CTU to support her husband, Senator John Donovan (Emmy and Golden
Globe Award winner Jimmy Smits, "NYPD Blue," "The West
Wing"), in his campaign for President of the United States. Decades of
sleepless nights and missed anniversaries landed her at the top. With the White
House within their grasp, can she truly embrace a new role as First Lady? Or
will her love of the action draw her back in? Together, in this fast-paced
thrill ride, Carter and Ingram uncover a sophisticated terrorist network that
will force them to ask: “Who can we trust?” As they battle Bin-Khalid’s
devotees, they are forced to confront their own identities, families and pasts.
From Emmy Award-winning executive producer Howard
Gordon ("Homeland"), Academy Award and Emmy Award-winning executive
producer Brian Grazer ("A Beautiful Mind," "24"), writers
and executive producers Manny Coto and Evan Katz ("24," "24:
Live Another Day"), director and executive producer Stephen Hopkins ("24")
and executive producer and original series star Kiefer Sutherland, Fox: Legacy
will debut in the coveted post-Super Bowl slot on February 5, returning Monday
February 6 at 8pm, the standard timeslot for the series.
