Watch: New ‘24: Legacy’ Trailer Released
Fox’s 24: Legacy debuts on February 5th after the Super Bowl.
On Tuesday, Fox released a new trailer for the reboot of the fan-favorite and Emmy Award-winning series 24 – titled 24: Legacy. The action-packed clip debuted during Game 1 of the World Series.
24: Legacy – much like the original – chronicles an adrenaline-fueled race against the clock to stop a devastating terrorist attack on United States soil. It follows Sergeant Eric Carter (Straight Outta Compton’s Corey Hawkins), an Army Ranger whose unit takes out a terrorist leader and is then targeted by his followers.
Hawkins stars alongside Miranda Otto (Homeland) and Jimmy Smits (The West Wing).
The full synopsis is below:
Six months ago in Yemen, an elite squad of U.S. Army Rangers, led by Sergeant ERIC CARTER (Corey Hawkins, “Straight Outta Compton”), killed terrorist leader Sheik Ibrahim Bin-Khalid. In the aftermath, Bin-Khalid’s followers declared a fatwah against Carter, his squad and their families, forcing them into federal witness protection. But a recent attempt on Carter’s own life makes it clear to him that his team is now exposed. To thwart further attacks, Carter enlists REBECCA INGRAM (Miranda Otto, “Homeland”), who quarterbacked the raid that killed Bin-Khalid. She’s a brilliant and ambitious intelligence officer who has stepped down from her post as National Director of CTU to support her husband, SENATOR JOHN DONOVAN (Emmy and Golden Globe Award winner Jimmy Smits, “NYPD Blue,” “The West Wing”), in his campaign for President of the United States. Decades of sleepless nights and missed anniversaries landed her at the top. With the White House within their grasp, can she truly embrace a new role as First Lady? Or will her love of the action draw her back in? Together, in this fast-paced thrill ride, Carter and Ingram uncover a sophisticated terrorist network that will force them to ask: “Who can we trust?” As they battle Bin-Khalid’s devotees, they are forced to confront their own identities, families and pasts.
Fox will debut 24: Legacy on February 5th after the Super Bowl and will continue on Monday, February 6th. Check out the trailer below!
