24: Legacy Welcomes Kiefer Sutherland

24: Legacy is coming to the small screen in 2017. The spinoff of the hit series 24 promises more action scenes with actor Corey Hawkins. Kiefer Sutherland will be very much involved in the upcoming show.

The aforementioned actor who starred in 24 as Jack Bauer will still be part of 24: Legacy. However, he will not be playing the lead character of the highly anticipated series. He will work as an executive producer and not as part of the cast. The action star is part of the team who will work hard to make the spinoff series a hit.

Kiefer Sutherland has earlier stated that he very excited for 24: Legacy. He is positive about the show and promises to support by being one of the viewers. During an interview with TV Guide, he said, “I’ve always believed very strongly that the star of 24 was the idea.”

He did an excellent job in the original series so fans are hoping for him to reprise his role as Jack. But there is a great chance for the EP to appear in one of the episodes of the upcoming show. Fans will surely be happy to see him on the small screen again as the famous counterterrorism agent.

Meanwhile, 24: Legacy will focus on a new character named Eric Carter (Corey Hawkins) who is an Army Ranger. He will be fighting terrorists who are targeting him and the rest of his squad for killing a terrorist leader.

Other cast members include Miranda Otto, Anna Diop, Jimmy Smits, Teddy Sears, Dan Bucatinsky, Ashley Thomas and many others. The 24: Legacy is expected to premiere on Feb. 5, 2017, on Fox. For the meantime, watch the video trailers below for a sneak peek of the upcoming television series.
