24: Legacy, written by 24 veterans Manny Coto and Evan Katz and directed by Stephen Hopkins, who helmed the original 24 pilot, centers on military hero Eric Carter (Hawkins) and chronicles his return to the U.S. and the trouble that follows him back – compelling him to ask CTU for help in saving his life, and stopping what potentially could be one of the largest-scale terror attacks on American soil. Coming from a very rough background, Carter turned his life around in the Army Rangers but now, back home in Virginia with his wife Nicole, he’s pulled back into action as his past comes looking for him.

Hawkins will also play opposite a female lead who has yet to be named.

Most notably known for his role as Dr. Dre in Straight Outta Compton, Hawkins also has acting credits with The Walking Dead, Broadway’s Romeo & Juliet and Kong: Skull Island with Samuel L. Jackson which is currently in production.
