We felt really good about a lot of the last season.
It was a hard decision to make, whether to bring it back or not.
We let Corey out of his obligation so he could do his Broadway play.
It felt like the right thing to do, to take the pressure off around upfronts.
But Fox continues to believe there is still time left on the franchise.
It felt very close to the original.
Our goal is to make something that generally extends the life of the franchise.
Viewers got a taste of24again.
It had the urgency of real time.
It whetted their appetite.
Last season, the new iteration of24with Hawkins averaged 6.08 million viewers and a 1.6 rating in adults 18-49.
Former star Kiefer Sutherland was an executive producer on the show.
And obviously Kiefer was not available to us.
Were not locked into one yet.
But Howard and Brian are really excited about it.
24 will be back on our air.
Were always interested in new angles and stories that come out of our library, Madden added.
