  • FOX Considering 24 Legal Thriller In Addition to Origin Story

    The Jack Bauer origin story isn’t the only option FOX is considering to revive 24, according to a new report. TV Line reports that in addition to the previously-reported prequel idea, FOX is considering a legal thriller that would take place in real time the same way that the main 24 series did.

    FOX CEO Gary Newman said during the network’s TCA press tour that the option would move the franchise “from terrorism and security into the legal world,” dealing with an attempt to prove a wrongfully-convicted man on death row’s innocence before his execution.

    Newman noted that the idea has been discussed since around the third or fourth season of the original show, noting, “It potentially carries some of the same values. There are real emotional stakes involved.”
