||
| − | *Names, places, and nationalities are adjusted to reflect the new setting. The primary antagonists are members of a Tamil separatist group called the LTFE, inspired by the real-life [[wikipedia:Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam|Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam]] (LTTE for short, commonly referred to as the "Tamil Tigers") in Sri Lanka. The LTFE leader, Ravindran, and his sons Raja and Bala play a similar role as [[Victor Drazen]] and his sons in the original first season. |

Over the course of the season, it is revealed that Aditya's brother-in-law, as well as one of his family members - his mother, cousin Prithvi, or sister Divya - is in league with the masterminds of the assassination attempt. In the finale, Divya is exposed as the inside connection and arrested.[http://newsportalindex.in/vikrants-truth-revealed-in-24-hired-terrorists-for-assassination-552-a] |

Promotional poster for Season 2
Season 2 of 24 aired from July 23 to October 9, 2016. The second season was loosely based on the third season of the original series, while borrowing some story elements from the second season, and portrayed a terrorist plot involving a deadly virus being released in Mumbai.
Season 3 (TBA)
A third season of 24 is currently planned.[1] After the release of his 2018 film Fanney Khan, Anil Kapoor will travel to Los Angeles to begin planning the third season.[2]
Production
Kapoor acquired the rights to 24 from Fox and 24 executive producer Howard Gordon through his production company, Anil Kapoor Film Co. after Gordon introduced him to Fox's head of international television, Marion Edwards. In April 2013, Bollywood screenwriter Rensil D'Silva and director Abhinay Deo were announced as the series' writer and director. The series is filmed on location in Mumbai, India.
The size and scope of the production was described as unprecedented for Indian television. Colors CEO Raj Nayak said that 24 was "going to be one of our big scale budgeted shows - as big as one of our non-fiction reality shows," while Kapoor stated that "there will be scenes with hundreds of thousands of people." In addition, Kapoor noted that Fox personnel participated in the production with the hope of replicating "the same kind of work culture and value systems that I experienced during my stint on 24."[3]
Kiefer Sutherland, who remained in contact with Kapoor after they starred together in Season 8, expressed interest in appearing on the new series in a cameo role.[4]
International distribution
Colors has international versions available on satellite and cable television that air their programmes with subtitles near to transmission date. There were initially rights issues with international airings of the show, but in 2015 it was aired in Australia on SBS. [5]
The episodes were available online through the Colors website, but in Hindi only.
