Yikes. Last night’s episode of 24: Legacy was seen by 3.26 million viewers and got an 0.8 in the 18-49 demographic. This is an enormous dropoff from last week, shedding roughly 639,000 viewers and falling two tenths in the demo to a new series low.
via TV Series Finale
With the exception of last week, every episode has lost viewers, and this is one of the biggest drops of the season. By far the worst ratings in 24‘s history. We’re now in the home stretch of Legacy (only four more episodes left) and to have a double digit decline like this isn’t a good sign for renewal prospects.

March 21, 2017 at 11:59 amI think the only way they renew this is by signing a major A-list actor for season 2, but I think that would be difficult.

March 21, 2017 at 12:20 pmLive overnight ratings do not tell the full story of a show’s audience as the landscape of TV has changed. And show is doing okay when u factor in DVR, online and on demand ratings.
With Dana and Gary being huge 24 supporters and u cannot deny that they are not, I think they will give the show another chance and reimagine it

March 21, 2017 at 3:35 pmBut I highly doubt she’ll ever return to 24. She has another series (Handmaid’s Tale), which looks like it could be quite good. And her character on 24 was so underwritten (entire storyline was exposition, whereas Eric’s actually plays out on screen).
Coral Snake
March 21, 2017 at 7:47 pmShe didn’t really offer anything more or less to me than Freddie Prince Jr. or Ricky Schroder’s characters. Both of their characters were possible choices to take over the lead of the show if Kiefer were to leave.
Chase and Renee were better but if any of Jack’s partner character were to take over the lead, I think Curtis would have been the best choice.

March 21, 2017 at 12:48 pm-WHO broke him out of prison
-WHY CTU and/or Ingram has been working with him
-WHY Ingram seemingly has no fear around this man who murdered many innocent people (Is it because he’s reformed now? Why can’t they just say so?
-Was Tony sincere about wanting to save lives to earn Michelle’s love again? Seems that way on one hand but on the other…he’s a hired mercenary who may/may not care about resolving the problem
I also think that this stupid “We want to cater to a new fanbase who hasn’t watched the show before” crap is ruining his return as well and could be part of the reason why they’re not delving into his past more–some sort of “we don’t want to confuse the new viewers” BS. Where are these new viewers? I sure don’t see them…
The only way that Tony’s return will end up satisfying me is if they integrate him into the plot more and work on some sort of redemption angle. For me, it’s not enough just to see Tony seemingly in a calmer, kinder state as he seems to be–I want some background on that redemption angle. I’m assuming that’s what they’re going for here–Carlos himself stated something like: “Tony has some moral philosophies still driving him whether he wants to admit it to himself or not” and seemed to imply that Tony’s investment in this current situation goes beyond just money and that a part of him does care. Fine….SHOW us that, writers. SHOW us Tony’s conflict. SHOW us this supposed redemption. Four episodes left…

I mean just compare this to Legacy’s reintroduction. It’s just a quick phonecall from Rebecca and treated like nothing big. Then we only really had one proper scene of Tony. I can understand Tony fans being a little peeved with his very minor addition in the story so far.
24 Spoilers
March 21, 2017 at 1:57 pmIn Legacy I actually pressed rewind to see if I had somehow missed Tony’s intro scene earlier in the episode. But nope, I didn’t. He just sort of appears in a split screen on a phone call. Really demonstrates how lazy this season has been.

Just to name a few.
The recent X-Files revival did it so much better…and yielded MUCH better ratings as a result: it provided a balance of giving old fans what they wanted (many old and familiar characters) while also making it accessible to new fans.
Legacy lacks all of this. We’re given ONE old character HALFWAY through the season that is treated like a tacked on extra. The X-FIles revival was made with love…Legacy feels like it was made via committee.

March 21, 2017 at 7:35 pmNow, sure, it’s got to be a lot harder in “real time” – you can’t really bench the characters somewhere and spend an hour on their backstory. But it’s not impossible. Think about how quickly we got invested in Jack, Palmer, Nina, and Tony in just the first 13 episodes of Season 1. Originally, if it hadn’t been renewed, THAT would have been the entire season, and possibly the entire series.
What would be gained by expanding this particular season to 24 episodes? We’d be looking at 6 episodes at the high school and another 6 dealing with Aisha and Jerome. All the airtime in the world can’t save lame ideas.

March 23, 2017 at 5:45 amI liked the first nine seasons of 24.
I’ve seen the first eight episodes of 24: Legacy on FOX and I’ve found the writing to be poor and lazy.
24 just isn’t the same without its greatest ever character Jack Bauer.
I’m so very upset with how Tony Almeida’s return has been handled by the writers thus far.
Tony Almeida has been completely misused in 24: Legacy so far.
I don’t like any of the new characters in 24: Legacy.
The villains in 24: Legacy are by far the worst villains in 24 history.

March 21, 2017 at 3:59 pmI don’t accept that shows that are boring like Homeland (that become boring from s3 or s4) get renewed for s7 and s8 while a good show like 24 Legacy maybe will be canceled. Fox (FX) is also producingn Homeland and I know that they have a low budget compare to 24 Legacy, but 24 Legacy was sold to 160 Countries and it has way better rating. So maybe they can do a few more season of 24 Legacy just with less budget and if it will get more succeed and maybe Jack Bauer will return they can get back to the big budget.
24 has Jack Bauer and the real time clock that is very good. So I prefer to watch a show without Jack Bauer (sadly) with the real time clock than to watch a show without it. With Jack Bauer it will be 10 times better and they need to improve the writing with more shocking moment like the original 24.

March 21, 2017 at 7:37 pmI think the ratings for this reboot of “24” have been underwhelming, especially given the primo post-Super Bowl launch. Last night’s numbers look like series lows.
Kiefer Sutherland had created such an iconic character, and was the heart and soul of the show, that it’s difficult to see anyone else in the role of the CTU rogue agent.
Do I think “24” will return next year and with the current cast? Probably not. Also Corey Hawkins is a movie star and will be off fighting King Kong and assorted Japanese Kaiju for the next few years.
I would never say never, so I would not be shocked if another reimagining of “24” is in our future.

March 22, 2017 at 5:21 pmIf I remember here is what happened in this order:
1. Coto/Katz pitch idea to FOX of a 24 without Jack Bauer.
2. FOX liked the script for pilot and immediately ordered it to series.
3. Pilot was made and FOX gave it a thumbs up and they proceeded with the remaining production.
Now in hindsight maybe they should have done this instead:
1. Coto/Katz pitch idea to FOX of a 24 without Jack Bauer.
2. FOX liked the script for pilot and immediately ordered a pilot episode only.
3. FOX does a large focus group screening of the pilot with known die hard 24 fans to get a proof of concept.
4. Focus group tells FOX it is just not the same without Jack Bauer – we’re not interested.
5. FOX cans the idea and tells Coto/Katz to go back to the drawing board. And saves us all the grief and preserves the integrity of the 24 reputation.

March 22, 2017 at 7:32 pmHe’s the one who gave the second and third seasons of “24” the massive American Idol lead-in and he then came up with the two-night four-hour premiere idea for season 4. It was also his idea to hold S4 for midseason so they could air a new episode every week without interruptions. He’s one of the unsung heroes of this series.
So although he doesn’t work for Fox anymore and this should not be considered an official Fox statement or anything, his opinion should be held in very high regard. This was literally his job for decades and the fact he no longer works for Fox means he can be truthful and not have to spin anything. Anyway just clearing that up before there’s any confusion.
—
And to be honest, although the Legacy pilot was flawed, I don’t think it was necessarily the main problem. I think it probably would’ve tested well with focus groups. It was the next couple of episodes where Legacy really “shit the bed” IMO.

March 21, 2017 at 11:40 pmI don’t care about the ratings… The writters just don’t have any clue about what made 24 amazing, and they should stop ruining it’s legacy.
Carter isn’t a proper 24 hero. He’s been saved too many times in 8 hours… His plans get always frustrated, we forget about him too easily when he’s not on screen.
I’m not saying Jack was the only character that could lead the series: Chase Edmunds was probably the best alternative…. Eric Carter should have been imagined as an experienced field agent, since he seems lost all the time…. Carter is a promise about being great in the future, and it is not a good idea for a 24’s lead role…
I couldn’t believe when Eric got an emotional moment saying goodbye to his brother and wife while being surrounded by terrorists… He took MINUTES being sweet… It was completely out of place!
This CTU is boring, the villains are boring, Tony’s interrogation was boring, Donovan is boring, the plot runs slowly….
OMG, do you guys remember when Mandy catched Tony? Geez, that was awesome! We need GREAT bad guys, not this Jadalla-boring-guy! He was able to be less interesting that Tarin Faroush!!!
What’s the point into bringing Tony back like that? No explanations, no back story… Fans deserve more! We’re eager to get answers and see developments which just don’t match to the writters’s product…
The best character so far was Isaac Carter, and tha’s sad… He is not the protagonist, nor the villain…
I’ve realized now that I’ve been watching this show because it is called “24”, and not because I liked it…. :-(

March 22, 2017 at 1:17 amThe time slot is not the problem. If they had put the show on at 9 pm, it would still have to go up against the second hour of The Bachelor/Dancing with the Stars and The Voice. Legacy would still get clobbered against those more popular shows and the ratings would still be the same…in the gutter.

March 22, 2017 at 12:07 pmAlso the ratings for this week hit rock bottom and has no where to go but up over the next 4 weeks.
I don’t think show will drop anymore.
Honestly Monday was bad for every other show. CBS comedies and Taken. Dancing with the Stars and basketball unfortunately took a lot of female and older viewers away from the show.
Fox needs to air 24 at 9pm on a different night with a lead in where reality shows don’t take away it’s audience. They also need to air in in the summer and have a better launch strategy and market it better.
Also 24 does well binge watched with DVD sales.
It’s cheaper to produce than with Kiefer on show.
Fox considers DVR, online, on demand, budget, relationship with producers, fan reaction, more story to tell, name recognition, if it makes money internationally, DVD sales, trust in producers, cast feelings, producers feelings and critics love 24 legacy. Also ad buyers love 24 too. Overnight ratings not even Fox worries about as a show’s renewal is more complex and takes everything into consideration.
I bet DVR ratings will soar over next 5 or 6 weeks.
I think next season will be reimagined with 24 episodes and a Jack return.
And it’s a negative attitude towards the show that kills the show’s ratings in the overnights who people who actually still believe in that old landscape of TV.
I am also curious of why 24 spoilers does not post DVR ratings for this show if u admitted 3 years ago that the landscape of TV has changed and overnight ratings do not tell the full story anymore?
And I think 24 can sustain on broadcast Television. Worst case it moves to Netflix next yew or another streaming service
The next 4 weeks will be awesome. Who cares if some stories are repetitive. It’s classic 24. I love this season and cast and love the creators
Justin
March 22, 2017 at 12:18 pmShe said she loves the show and the creators and cast.
24 Legacy always makes the top 25 in DVR + 7 ratings most shows would kill for that.
24 is an in house production, cheaper than with Kiefer and has name recognition and fox trusts those producers as Dana and Gary have been long time supporters of 24 a thing that works in the show’s favour than new pilots and other shows getting renewed. The show will be released on DVD and Fox will give show a chance for a second season

March 22, 2017 at 11:47 pmHis acting in the finale for the dock11a rehash was borderline soap opera grade. His face contorted to show he was distraught and angry about Audrey’s death, but I didn’t feel the usual authentic intensity he usually displays in emotionally charged scenes, it all just felt so fake to me.
As sad as I am that Jack got an even worse ending than the one he had in season 8, maybe it was right for Kiefer to call it a day.
There were 3 ways to follow up LAD. 1. Bring Jack back because attacks are happening. 2. Draft in a new hero because attacks are happening or 3. Do a fresh story and give Jack a day like no one we’ve ever seen before.
I think most of us here -including myself- would have LOVED option 3, but with these writers we should know better than to expect that to happen.

The ratings fell to an all-time low and I reported that the ratings fell to an all-time low (and with links to all the data sources so that you can verify yourself). None of this is commentary/opinion-based.
The only piece of commentary in this article was saying that falling to record lows “isn’t a good sign for renewal prospects” which is an obvious statement. And one you seem to agree considering you said “it’s likely not going to get a second season.” So what exactly do you take issue with here? I’m confused.
I honestly don’t care whether it gets cancelled or renewed, whatever happens happens, and it’s not something any of us can control or influence.

March 23, 2017 at 1:52 amSo why only post overnight ratings and only judge the show’s chances for renewal based on overnight ratings and not DVR? U never post DVR ratings, in which 24 legacy is doing okay in.
It’s like 3 years ago u were able to admit that when 24 was a success creatively but now u aren’t sharing the full audience numbers cuz u don’t support the show.
U even said three years ago Gary and Dana are full supporters of 24 which bodes well for a second season.

March 23, 2017 at 2:01 amU said that three years ago
Yet u never post about DVR ratings in which the show is doing okay in weekly in the DVR +7 ratings. The ratings are not terrible or bad and are pretty average which is better than terrible and honestly any show would kill for average ratings these days overall and especially on Fox.
For 24 Legacy to make the top 25 shows weekly with DVR ratings after 7 days that is very good IMO.
U also never shared the fact that the first episode after the Super Bowl rose to 21.5 million viewers with DVR usage factored in.
Yes Dana wants them to be higher but even admitted that they are not higher cuz it was perhaps their fault for their launch strategy. A factor that will be considered in its renewal chances.
And she said she loves the show, creators and cast and would love nothing more than to bring it back.
24 Legacy is doing better than most of their current shows and honestly I think bodes better than a new pilot with no trusted producers or name recognition or not an in house production or airing in 160 countries, has a lot more story to tell, budget that is cheaper than a Kiefer season etc.
Justin
March 23, 2017 at 2:07 amThe landscape has changed since 3 years ago for TV so the 6-8 million viewers 24 Legacy is pulling in without Jack is good.
The DVR numbers are not in for episodes 6-8 yet so until u see them don’t say ratings for episodes 6-8 are terrible. Cuz maybe DVR ratings soared for these episodes or stayed steady and did not drop.

To me 24 Legacy is in that boat. 24 is a friend of mine, where I will stick up for it when it gets bullied by others and I will be there for it through thick and thin, called loyalty. 24 needs its loyal true fans now more than ever.
Do I miss Jack Bauer? Yes, but it’s good to be open to change.
24 has always been there for me when I needed it the most and I will always be there for 24.

March 22, 2017 at 10:32 pmI’d much rather read Justin’s comments than the nauseating and boring negative comments that some posters spew on a daily basis.
Keep posting, Justin. You make this site much better.

March 23, 2017 at 7:04 am24spoilers admin, I’m sure this is a very frustrating time for you but please don’t let the spamming of a certain troll dissuade you from keeping up the terrific work you do on this site. All the rest of us really appreciate having a place to discuss/ vent about our favourite show and we would hate for you to lose your love for keeping the community together just because of one new member who is trying their best to tear the whole thing down.

When you don’t share all the data, then it sounds like you are judging the show’s success based on 1 piece of the pie and not the whole piece of the pie. Then it sounds like you don’t support the show.

March 23, 2017 at 12:58 pmYour comments have been appreciated and much needed in a sea of constant negativity that has caused many fans to stop visiting this place.
Certain people post nothing but negativity seemingly 24/7 and it turns people away from here.
The true 24 fans appreciate your comments and efforts ?

March 23, 2017 at 1:12 pmJD, Tom, Dave26, etc. etc. have made this place unbearable for me.
It’s not pleasant visiting a place that wants something you love to fail.
Justin is great btw!

March 24, 2017 at 8:17 amHey Sean,
I bet the writers wrote this season of 24 Legacy the way they did to kind of test out what the audience wants and likes about 24. They probably had a deal with Fox to test if the real time format still works, or if 24 is based on Jack or characters and tested if fans can handle repetitive story lines. I think Fox will make excuses for season 1 of Legacy and renew for season 2 and now that the writers have feedback on season 1, they can now craft a fantastic season 2 and pitch it to Fox with maybe a Jack, Chloe, Kate and old characters appearing along with Eric Carter and new characters and maybe 24 episodes.
Designated Survivor could be cancelled or Kiefer could always make time for a 24 movie or 24 TV movie that feeds into 24 Legacy. Kiefer has said he sees where the series is running and in the break you would have a film and the two would feed off of each other. The season sets up the storyline of a film or the movie sets up the storyline of the season or the season sets up the finality of a film.
Movie talks were revived after LAD as well and Kiefer stated he would be open to playing Jack Bauer again one day and to never say never.
Also masked scheduler said a re imagining of 24 is in our future. I think that could be next year as Fox would not give 24 another long hiatus and would want to keep the momentum of the series going. People know this is not a limited series and if Fox were to cancel it, that would look bad on any future installments. So renewing it would be wise.
With Dana and Gary being long time 24 supporters, I can see them renewing it since they have a long standing relationship with the producers. And Fox does look at everything from live, to DVR, online, on demand, budget, are there more stories to tell, how its doing in the other 160 countries, is it an in house production, etc.
Fan reaction and critics have been mostly mixed to positive and the cast has been great.
IMO 24 Legacy is 24 and needs to have all the classic 24 stuff that made 24 a hit. So I am okay with the repetitive stuff. I love this season and the cast.
So for all these reasons, I think the show will get a second season. I think its a 50/50 chance for a renewal.
There is a looming writers strike but I still think it could be renewed.
Also its possible the ratings could go up the next 4 weeks. Its also important to note ratings fell to season lows for all shows this past Monday. CBS comedies and Taken. If it was just a 24 Legacy thing, I would be worried. But I think Dancing with the stars Premiere and basketball had an affect. So I think Fox will take this into consideration as well and move 24 Legacy to a a later time next year and a different day.
I mean 6-8 million viewers after 7 days is good for the show considering Dana walden admitted their launch strategy was over ambitious and flawed. She said she thinks the show is great, she loves the producers, cast and crew and would love nothing more than to bring it back. Those ratings are not terrible.
24 is a well established brand, name recognition, with trusted producers, an in house production, makes money in syndication and DVD sales. All things 24 has going for it. Where as new Pilots does not have these things going for it.
I believe the writers will go into Fox and pitch a season 2 soon. Fox also knows fans want to see Jack Bauer again and the demand for Jack and Chloe is high.
