Tyrant alumna Moran Atias has joined the cast of Fox’s 24 franchise reboot 24: Legacy. The limited series, starring Straight Outta Compton‘s Corey Hawkins, chronicles a race against the clock to stop a terrorist attack on U.S. soil. It will follow the original series’ real-time format.
Atias will play the mysterious Sidra, Tony Almeida’s strong, attractive and intense associate who instigates feelings of distrust between Tony and former Head of CTU Rebecca Ingram, played by Miranda Otto. Atias was most recently seen as standout female lead Leila in Howard Gordon and Gideon Raff’s series Tyrant for FX. Moran also costarred in Third Person, directed by Paul Haggis, and in The Next Three Days opposite Russell Crowe and Liam Neeson.

November 9, 2016 at 2:56 pmThey always stretch the credibility of this show, even to do something as mundane as going back to the all-too familiar.
I would’ve preferred Tony working in the shadows as a morally ambiguous, gruff, bearded mentor to the new guy.

November 10, 2016 at 7:52 amAbout what you said, I don’t think Tony will be working with CTU at first. Maybe later.
If Sidra instigates feelings of distrust between Tony and Ingram, I think is because Ingram will need Tony’s help, and this other woman will create a fight between them. So…. perhaps! Tony will be working in the shadows as a Gandalf-like mentor.
Something like Season7-Buchanan

November 12, 2016 at 7:21 pmAs for Tony, he’s the only reason I’m watching. Hoping for something more compelling than a retread of Jack in LAD…
Hour 1-6 Tony is a terrorist!! He committed treason!!!
Hours 7-24 Give Mr. Almeida whatever he needs.

November 13, 2016 at 9:34 amFor some reason (that I’m eager to find out) Tony has to be out of prison and this is related to this black soldier, or some other storyline. But Tony HAS to be free… My ultimate hope is that Tony will be here not just to tell everyone that he’s alive and angry (Day 7)
If this will be a whole new universe (with Tony present, not any more, it’s the same) the story has nothing to do with old legends (Michelle, Bill, Jack, Chloe… ) But bring Carlos on board! He’s cheaper!! haha

November 9, 2016 at 5:04 pmU still here man, after bashing on LAD & on this?
If I dislike a series after 1 or 2 weak seasons I drop it and don’t watch it anymore, but ur aproach is a new one. U keep commenting negatively on this, but you’ll probably wind up watching it anyway… pathetic.

November 12, 2016 at 6:56 pmFacebook:
First 4 days: 22 million million views (which was reported by EW)
Next 14 days: almost no increase (the trailer is still listed as having 22 million views, two weeks later)
Maximum audience size: 4.7 million (just under 4.7 million followers, and 67,000 shares)
You Tube:
Total trailer views: 420,600.
Maximum audience size: hundreds of millions
It’s nearly a statistical impossibility that 4.7 million Facebook followers accounted for 22 million views in 4 days, and almost no views in the following 14 days.
Facebook’s videos are on autoplay, and views are counted as 3 seconds. So millions of those views likely came from people who simply scrolled or refreshed their timeline, but didn’t actually watch the trailer.

December 13, 2016 at 10:46 pmThe most that can make sense is something like Jack and Hamri Al-Assad in Season 6.
Sidra sounds like an Islamic name. Maybe she is working with an Islamic terrorist group with Bin Khalid.
