Jack Bauer is passing the torch stopwatch.

 

Fox is developing a 24 spinoff that would revolve around a new twentysomething male terrorist hunter, but the intention would be for Kiefer Sutherland‘s Jack to weave in and out as a guest star, franchise overlord Howard Gordon confirmed to TVLine Sunday at the Critics Choice Television Awards.

 

The project would find the new male antihero working alongside an older, more seasoned female agent (not Yvonne Strahovski’s Kate Morgan, although she also may appear). It would also launch as a limited series, similar to last year’s acclaimed 24: Live Another Day, but I’m told the offshoot could easily become a long-term property for Fox.

 

24: LAD vets Manny Coto and Evan Katz will serve as writers and EPs.

Not a chance that survives. See the X-Files with Doggett/Lone Gunmen. Or any other of the dozens of spinoffs. Stations underestimate how much we're invested in the characters rather than the concept.

 

If it is a short series like last summer, it will get viewership.
