FOX loves continuing its franchises. 2016 was the "X Files"year, in 2017 we will welcome back"Prison Break"and "24." But 24's story is more complicated than the "X-Files'" and "Prison Break's" ones. The Jack Bauer's show is not anew to unexpected returns.The showwas one of the strongest performers on FOX and the network decided to air it again during the 2014 summer, after eight seasons. Kiefer Sutherland reprised his iconic role and the fans enjoyed the newtwelveepisodes of "24: Live Another Day." This time is different: Jack will not come back.

'24: Legacy' is a reboot

When the news broke, fans were really surprised by the unexpected new take on the TV Series. FOX's midseason schedule will include 24: Legacy, a new story that will not include Jack Bauer. Kiefer Sutherland is starring in another Fall's TV show: Designated Survivor. As a consequence of that, he won't likely have time to commit to these adrenalic stories and so they went for a spin-off.
