When we last saw Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) it was at the end of the limited series "24: Live Another Day" in 2014 with the character surrendering himself to Russian agents in exchange for Chloe's freedom. In early 2017, the franchise will be resurrected with "24: Legacy" which features an all-new cast and centers on a new lead - Eric Carter (played by Corey Hawkins), a former Army Ranger whose past comes back to haunt him. When the new season was announced and during its production, it was made quite clear that Sutherland is only involved in the series as an executive producer and wouldn't return to his role on screen.
