24: Legacy Is Officially Bringing the CTU Back To Fox
The network also picked up Star, an Empire-style music industry drama
In news that should come as no surprise to anyone who knows anything about Jack Bauer or Cookie Lyon, Fox announced Wednesday that it has given series orders to pilots 24: Legacy and Star. Both shows will premiere in Fall 2016.
24: Legacy is a reboot of Fox's Kiefer Sutherland -starring early-'00s hit. It stars The Walking Dead and Straight Outta Compton's Corey Hawkins in the Jack Bauer-esque role as Eric Carter, a former Army Ranger who must rush to stop a terrorist attack on American soil. It will co-star Lord of the Rings' Miranda Otto and NYPD Blue's Jimmy Smits.
