Perhaps as an anthology storytelling franchise, Walden told reporters at the Television Critics Association press tour last August.

We felt really good about a lot of the last season.

It was a hard decision to make, whether to bring it back or not.

We let Corey out of his obligation so he could do his Broadway play.

It felt like the right thing to do, to take the pressure off around upfronts.

It felt very close to the original.

Our goal is to make something that generally extends the life of the franchise.

Viewers got a taste of24again.

It had the urgency of real time.

It whetted their appetite.

The most recent version of24that featured Hawkins averaged 6.08 million viewers and a 1.6 rating in adults 18-49.

Sutherland was an executive producer on the show.
