Design

In January 2015, executive producers Howard Gordon , Evan Katz , Manny Coto and Brian Grazer filed another 24-hour franchise. It revolves around a group of minor characters, rather than around Kiefer Sutherland as Jack Bauer . ^[37] In May 2015, Fox announced the development of a new version of "24 hours." ^[38] In June 2015, Howard Gordon announced that there would be a young main character in the spin-off, along with a slightly older and more experienced female agent. It was confirmed that Evan Katz and Manny Coto will return as scriptwriters and executive producers. It was also confirmed that the “real time” format will be used in the spin-off, as Gordon said, since this is a tradition of the show. ^[39]

In January 2016, Fox announced that it had ordered a pilot for the spin-off called “24 Hours: Legacy”, where there is a new cast, where there will not be old characters. The series retains the real-time mode, however it consists of 12 episodes, using time jumps to cover the events of one day. The two main characters are a war hero and a woman, who is the former head of the KTO. ^[40] Stephen Hopkins , who shot the original 24 Hours pilot and several episodes from the first season, directed the Heritage pilot. ^[41] In April 2016, Fox officially gave the series a green light by ordering 12 episodes. ^[42] Frequent director of the series John Cassar will also return as a director and producer of Heritage, shooting 6 of 12 episodes. ^[43] Sean Colleri will also return as a series composer. ^[44] On May 5, 2016, Deadline announced that Nikki Toscano had already signed a contract with 20th Century Fox and will be co-producer of the show. ^[45] Although it was previously reported that not a single former character would appear on the show, the producers hinted at the possibility that Mary Lynn Rajskub would appear on the show as Chloe O'Brien. ^[46] In an interview with Digital Spy , Katz revealed that the script for the first episode was written in eight months. He also announced that the future “24 Hours: Heritage” seasons will consist of only 12 episodes. ^[7]

Jack Bauer's appearance

We never intended to shoot the ninth season, when we finished the eighth season. I said we are everything. So I’ll just say we’ll see. ”He also said about the“ Heritage ”pilot script, that he was“ very cool ”and that he“ would look at it first. ” ^[49]
