Ten Live-Action Dramas That Deserve An Animated Spin-Off More Than The X-Files
24
24 may not be the first project that comes to mind in terms of live-action dramas from FOX that could benefit from a lower stakes animated spin-off. However, it’s easy to forget that 24 crossed over with The Simpsons and gave audiences a taste of an animated Jack Bauer. Considering that the CTU division of the CIA is entrusted with the safety of the country, the idea of their B-Team that’s stuck with the lowest grade suspicions of terrorism could really go in some ridiculous directions.
An animated 24 could also really lean into the real-time angle and construct a number of humorous situations that embrace the ticking clock aspect of storytelling like waiting for a meeting or arguing over paperwork. That angle alone makes this hypothetical series a more unique prospect than X-Files: Albuquerque. They’d have to pull some strings with the runtime, but 24 in this case could even refer to the 24 minutes in every episode. With the world being in the state that it’s currently in, a show that finds humor in the subject of terrorism and national security could be a risky gamble, but it’s far from an impossible idea. It’s not as if CTU’s B-team would even be trusted with the heavy-duty torture devices anyway.
"There are also other characters that come and go (also owned by the Warner Bros. Discovery conglomerate media company)."
Huh. Is that just referring to other characters from the show itself, or is this implying that the new season is going to have cameos from other WBD IPs
