24: Legacy is attempting to overhaul the real-time thriller without its original lead Jack Bauer - but has it been a success?
Launching after the Super Bowl, the first episode pulled in over 17 million viewers, but overnight ratings for the most recent outing pulled in under 4 million.
"I'm a little sad because I feel like it's a really good show," FOX TV CEO Dana Walden told Deadline. "It's not terrible [but] we had really high hopes for the show.
"I'm feeling mixed. I feel very proud of the show and extremely grateful to the creators and the great actors who have done a really wonderful job."
With seven episodes of the 12-part season left to air, what are the chances of 24: Legacy coming back for more? According to Walden, its fate is very much up in the air.
"I would love nothing more than to bring it back because I thought it was great," she said. "But we're just going to have to see how our pilots come in, how it continues to perform and weigh all of the information we have in May."
