‘24: Legacy’ Cast, Creator Believe New Season Lives Up To Expectations Without Jack Bauer

It’s been two and a half years since there were new episodes of “24,” but fans of the hit television drama won’t have to wait much longer for it to make its long-awaited return. The latest season of the show will debut Feb. 5 after Super Bowl LI on Fox, though there are some major differences this time around.

Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) was the driving force of the first nine seasons of the show, but the latest iteration won’t feature the iconic TV character. “24: Legacy” is led by an entirely new cast with a new lead protagonist.
