Miranda Otto has joined Corey Hawkins for the upcoming Fox pilot, 24: Legacy. The pilot is for a reboot of the hit 24 TV franchise from the early 2000s, and will be the first to not feature Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland).
Otto (The Lord Of The Rings) will take the female lead in the show at the former leader of the CTU. The actress was last seen in the TV drama Homeland, and will also appear in the forthcoming HBO series Westworld.
24: Legacy will follow Hawkins as Eric Carter, a man with a troubled past who turned his life around in the Army Rangers, becoming a military hero. After settling with his wife Nicole in Virginia, Carter’s past comes back to haunt him and he’s pulled back into action. He eventually asks CTU for help saving his life and stopping what potentially could be one of the largest-scale terror attacks on American soil.
20th Century Fox Television, Imagine Television and Gordon’s Teakwood Lane Productions are behind the project.
We’re expecting shooting to kick off on this very soon.
