24: Legacy Casts Longmire Star as New CTU Chief

Bailey Chase, best known for playing Deputy Branch Connally on A&E’s Longmire, and Tiffany Hines, best known for playing Michelle Welton on Bones, have landed recurring roles on Fox’s 24: Legacy, according to Deadline.

Chase will play Locke, “a rugged, intense and seasoned CTU field agent. As head of field operations, he’s all business and willing to make personal sacrifices for the job. Sullivan is an ‘every man for himself’ kind of guy.” Hines will play Aisha, “Isaac’s (Ashley Thomas) smart and ambitious girlfriend, as well as an important part of his drug-dealing business. She’s clever, tough and attractive.”

Chase’s other notable acting credits include roles in Saving Grace, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, As the World Turns, Ugly Betty, and Damages. Hine’s other notable acting credits include roles in Nikita, 90210, and Devious Maids.

The clock ticks again with 24: Legacy, the next evolution of the Emmy Award-winning 24. From Emmy Award-winning executive producer Howard Gordon (Homeland, 24: Live Another Day), Academy Award- and Emmy Award-winning executive producer Brian Grazer (A Beautiful Mind, 24), writers and executive producers Manny Coto and Evan Katz (24), director and executive producer Stephen Hopkins (24) and executive producer and original series star Kiefer Sutherland, 24: Legacy 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 has propelled this genre-defining series.

Six months ago in Yemen, an elite squad of U.S. Army Rangers, led by Sergeant ERIC CARTER (Corey Hawkins, Straight Outta Compton), killed terrorist leader Sheik Ibrahim Bin-Khalid. In the aftermath, Bin-Khalid’s followers declared a fatwah against Carter, his squad and their families, forcing them into federal witness protection. But a recent attempt on Carter’s own life makes it clear to him that his team is now exposed. To thwart further attacks, Carter enlists REBECCA INGRAM (Miranda Otto, Homeland), who quarterbacked the raid that killed Bin-Khalid. She’s a brilliant and ambitious intelligence officer who has stepped down from her post as National Director of CTU to support her husband, SENATOR JOHN DONOVAN (Emmy and Golden Globe Award winner Jimmy Smits, NYPD Blue, The West Wing), in his campaign for President of the United States. Decades of sleepless nights and missed anniversaries landed her at the top. With the White House within their grasp, can she truly embrace a new role as First Lady? Or will her love of the action draw her back in? Together, in this fast-paced thrill ride, Carter and Ingram uncover a sophisticated terrorist network that will force them to ask: “Who can we trust?” As they battle Bin-Khalid’s devotees, they are forced to confront their own identities, families and pasts.

24: Legacy will premiere directly following the Super Bowl next February on FOX, before moving to its regular time of Mondays at 8pm. Official synopsis follows.
