The Flash guest star Teddy Sears, who plays the Earth-2 version of the titular hero, is joining the cast of FOX’s upcoming reboot series, 24: Legacy. Sears will take on the role of Keith Mullins in the series, the new head of the Counter Terrorist Unit. He joins a cast that includes Corey Hawkins (Straight Outta Compton) in the lead role and Miranda Otto (The Lord of the Rings, War of the Worlds).
24: Legacy has plans to 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. Miranda Otto will play the former head of CTU, Rebecca Ingram. Currently married to a senator, Ingram is beginning to reconsider having left the CTU in the first place.
24: Legacy is being produced by 20th Century Fox Television, Imagine Television and Gordon’s Teakwood Lane Productions. The pilot will feature an all-new cast of characters and retain the real-time, pulse-pounding, fast-paced format with split screens and complex interweaving storylines, with each episode representing one hour of an eventful day.
