The show has won numerous awards, including 20 Emmy Awards over its eight seasons. It won for Best Drama Series at the 2003 Golden Globe Awards and Outstanding Drama Series at the 2006 Primetime Emmy Awards. Kiefer Sutherland has been awarded Best Actor – Television Series Drama at the 2001 Golden Globe Awards, and Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series at the 2006 Primetime Emmy Awards. At the conclusion of its eighth and final season, 24 became the longest-running espionage-themed television drama ever, surpassing both Mission: Impossible and The Avengers.

24 is known for making major changes to its main cast every season. The only regular cast member of all seasons is Kiefer Sutherland. He is the only actor to appear in all of the show's 192 episodes and the television movie, 24: Redemption. Glenn Morshower, who plays Aaron Pierce, made appearances in the first seven seasons. Background extra Michael Jacey (who plays Agent John) is the only actor besides Sutherland and Morshower to appear in the first six seasons.

A feature film adaptation of 24 was originally planned to be shot during the hiatus between the sixth and seventh seasons. Series creators Joel Surnow and Robert Cochran planned to write the script with showrunner Howard Gordon working on story.[15] Filming was to take place in London, Prague, and Morocco.[16] Plans for the movie were later put on hold. Kiefer Sutherland stated, It's impossible to ask writers to work on the show and then come up with an amazing film we can shoot in the break between seasons. [17]

It was later decided that the film would begin production after the conclusion of the eighth and final season. The film was to take place and be shot on-location in Europe. Joel Surnow, Robert Cochran, Howard Gordon, and Kiefer Sutherland were to serve as executive producers on the film, while the screenplay was to be written by Billy Ray.[18]
