The clock is ticking again in first trailer for Fox's upcoming '24: Legacy'

The Clock Resets | Season 1 | 24: LEGACY
The first trailer for the upcoming 24 spinoff series 24: Legacy has arrived, and the clock is ticking once again.

Fox has released a preview of the new series, which features a new cast of characters (and possibly a few familiar faces) attempting to stop a terrorist attack on American soil, presented in the same real-time format as the original Emmy-winning show that inspired it, 24. The series will premiere after the NFL’s championship game on February 5.

The show reunites much of the original series’ creative team, including Emmy-winning executive producers Howard Gordon (Homeland, 24: Live Another Day) and Brian Grazer (24), writers and executive producers Manny Coto and Evan Katz (24, 24: Live Another Day), director and executive producer Stephen Hopkins (24), and original series star Kiefer Sutherland, who also serves as an executive producer on the show.

The series follows a former Army Ranger and military hero played by Straight Outta Compton actor Corey Hawkins, who attempts to settle down after retiring from the military, only to get caught up in a far-reaching terrorist plot that drags him back into action. He ends up seeking help from C.T.U., the anti-terrorism agency introduced in 24, in order to stop the potentially devastating attack.

Along with Hawkins, the series stars Miranda Otto as a former intelligence officer, as well as Jimmy Smits as a United States Senator aspiring to become the president, and Teddy Sears. Sutherland has indicated that he doesn’t plan to reprise his role as Jack Bauer for the series, but the show’s creative team has hinted that the door is open for a potential cameo.

The first season of the show is expected to unfold over 12 episodes.

24: Legacy premieres Sunday, February 5, on Fox.

Tom Cruise hangs upside down from a biplane in latest Mission: Impossible 8 stunt
Tom Cruise sits on a plane.

Tom Cruise risks his life in the latest stunt for Mission: Impossible 8. In other news, the sky is blue, and the grass is green.

As Hollywood's biggest movie star, Cruise has made his bones by executing several of the most jaw-dropping stunts in cinema's illustrious history. In the last decade, Cruise has performed a halo jump in Mission: Impossible – Fallout, piloted multiple aircraft in Top Gun: Maverick, and rode a motorcycle off a cliff in Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning.
For his next trick, Cruise will hang upside down from a biplane in Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning. In footage shared on Cruise's social media, the 62-year-old is hanging off a biplane as director Christopher McQuarrie watches the footage from a monitor. The stunt will likely be featured in Mission: Impossible 8's next trailer, with a rumored release during Super Bowl LIX.

The 50 best shows on Netflix in February 2025
Mo Amer in Mo.

After back-to-back weeks of action premieres with The Night Agent season 2 and The Recruit season 2, Netflix is settling down for the Super Bowl weekend. But that doesn't mean the No. 1 streamer doesn't have new programming to share. In fact, Mo — back for its second season — is a dramedy that has such glowing reviews it may be in Emmy contention later this year.
The other new arrival is Cassandra, a German sci-fi series that kind of crept up on us out of nowhere, much like the title character. This is one of the fringe benefits of Netflix's international approach to shows, as series produced for other countries occasionally break out among the most popular shows on Netflix.
You can find these series and more below among the best shows on Netflix. We update this list every Friday to give you the best streaming options for your weekend viewing.

We’ve also rounded up all the best new shows to stream this week, the best movies on Netflix, the best shows on Hulu, the best shows on Amazon Prime, and the best shows on Disney+ because we take our streaming seriously.
