No Kiefer at all or anyone else from the original. In fact the show is apparently going to be a complete reboot that will not even acknowledge the previous show. The lead will be a "young black male". I loved 24, but this seems like it is destined to fail. They are basically calling a show 24 and just using the name to cash in on the popularity of the original. I understand the concept of a "reboot" but not even giving a wink and nod to the original is a huge mistake. Why even call it 24? You can still run the same concept without calling it 24. I doubt I will watch this reboot. I seriously thing everybody is just out of ideas.



Disclaimer: I would have added a link, but the comments section breaks tidefans policy on language. All the comments are also extremely racist.
 
Don't care if the lead is black or not, but no thanks. 24 is Jack Bauer. Jack Bauer is Keifer Sutherland. This is a desperate ratings grab that is sure to fail.
 
MI-5 was a pretty good show. Much more realistic than 24. It doesn't have the "events occur in real time" element. If you like 24, check it out.

For the record I loved 24, and they did leave it open for Bauer to come back at the end of the finale.

Kiefer did not want to return. I can understand that. He did point out one thing all of us can agree with. Just how many times can the same guy get into the same bad luck situation over and over?

As as said this is a pure ratings grab that is trying to cash-in on 24's popularity. It will fail.
