Then there’sShots Fired, a 10-part event series that takes a look at the broken criminal justice system.
Watch the new24 Legacytrailer and all the rest of the sneak peeks after the jump.
24: Legacy Trailer
There’s something interesting about this approach to24right off the bat, and it lies within Corey Hawkins' character. When the original 24started, Jack Bauer wasn’t really a flawed hero. He was a skilled agent, and it wasn’t until later in the series that he started to become unhinged. In this series, former Army Ranger Eric Carter (Corey Hawkins) clearly has some PTSD and some enemies that are in fast pursuit of him. It should be interesting to see how this complicates things. Plus, this trailer gives us the return ofCarlos Bernardas Tony Almeida.
24: Legacydebuts after the Super Bowl onFebruary 5before heading to Mondays at 9pm ET.
Prison Break Trailer
It turns out Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller) may be alive in the return of the hit series on Fox, and we’re going to get yet another big breakout. Honestly, I don’t see the return of this series being all that necessary or all that exciting. But here we are. Maybe it’ll spice things up enough to satisfy fans of the original series.
Prison Breakreturns onApril 4at 9pm ET / 8pm CT.
In the all-new event series, filmed on location in Morocco, clues surface that suggest a previously thought-to-be-dead Michael may be alive. Lincoln and SARA (Sarah Wayne Callies, “Colony,” “The Walking Dead”), Michael’s wife until he was assumed dead, reunite to engineer the series' biggest escape ever, as three of Fox River State Penitentiary’s most notorious escapees, SUCRE (Nolasco, “Telenovela”), T-BAG (Knepper, “Heroes”) and C-NOTE (Dunbar, “The Mentalist”), are pulled back into the action.
APB Trailer
Adding a new spin to the crime drama this season isAPB. When a billionaire finds his best friend murdered in a botched attempted robbery, he decides to take matters into his own hands to make a Chicago police precinct more effective. He turns them into a private police force equipped with state-of-the-art technology and a new approach to crime fighting. Surely there will be some resistance in some form or another, though. With all the police procedurals out there, this is an interesting approach to the genre that could be worth watching.
APBpremieresFebruary 6at 9pm ET / 8pm CT.
With cutting-edge technology created by Gideon himself, this eccentric yet brilliant outsider challenges the city’s police force to rethink everything about the way they fight crime. But the near-overnight transition to the city’s most advanced police district doesn’t sit well with all of its members. Gideon knows if he’s going to change anything, he needs an ally, whom he finds in OFFICER THERESA MURPHY (Natalie Martinez, “Kingdom,” “Under the Dome”), an ambitious, street-smart cop who is ready to embrace Gideon’s technological changes. With the help of Gideon’s gifted tech officer, ADA HAMILTON (Caitlin Stasey “Reign”), he and Murphy embark on a mission to turn the 13th District – including a skeptical SGT. NED CONRAD (Ernie Hudson, “Grace and Frankie,” “Ghostbusters”), and determined OFFICERS NICHOLAS BRANDT (Taylor Handley “Vegas,” “Southland”) and TASHA GOSS (Tamberla Perry “Boss”) – into a dedicated crime-fighting force of the 21st century.
Shots Fired Trailer
Inspired by the endless headlines about police shootings, Fox is tackling the sensitive issues of violence and racial tension in this drama that dives into the flawed inner-workings of the criminal justice system. This one is touted as an event series, and with a cast that includesStephan James(Race),Helen Hunt, Richard Dreyfuss, andStephen Moyer, it’s likely not intended to be a continuing series after this. But it certainly looks compelling.
