New Shows & Trailers
24: Legacy (FOX)
Chronicles an adrenaline-fueled race against the clock to stop a devastating terrorist attack on United States soil—in the same real-time format that propelled the genre-defining series 24.

In the aftermath, Bin-Khalid's followers declared a fatwah against Carter, his squad and their families, forcing them into federal witness protection.
