Eight full seasons, a ninth that is half length and still counts, a television film that sits between two of them, and a spin-off with a different lead.
Broadcast order and story order are the same thing here, with one exception: the television film Redemption belongs between seasons 6 and 7, not at the end. Everything else is simply in order.
Seen some of these already? Tap the circles to tick them off. The full list below fills in as you go.
Twenty-four episodes covering one day in real time. It is the most self-contained season and it works as a complete story if you never go further.
Eighteen months later. It carries over consequences from Day 1 that the show never resets, so it is the first point where the order actually matters.
Three years on, the longest gap in the run. Two characters introduced here become the spine of the next three seasons.
The largest cast turnover in the show. It opens with almost none of the previous regulars in place, which is deliberate rather than a sign you have missed something.
The season most people rate highest, and the one that pays off characters set up in seasons 1 to 4. It loses most of its weight if you arrive cold.
Follows directly from the end of Day 5, which is the only cliffhanger the show carries straight across a season break.
Watch it here. It is a two hour film set roughly three and a half years after Day 6 and sixty-five days before Day 7, and it introduces the incoming president that season 7 opens with.
Opens after Redemption and assumes you have seen it. The setting moves to Washington and CTU no longer exists, both of which are set up by the film.
Eighteen months later, and the end of the original run. It resolves the storyline that has been running since Day 5.
Twelve episodes rather than twenty-four, set four years after Day 8 in London. It still calls itself a day; it just skips hours between episodes.
Then what? That is the whole Jack Bauer run. 24: Legacy is twelve more episodes with an entirely new lead, made in 2017 and cancelled after one season. It is set in the same world, with one returning character, but it needs almost nothing from what came before, so treat it as optional rather than as season ten. There is no eleventh season and no film; a revival has been talked about but nothing has been ordered.
A suggested way in, not an official one. The full list is below: tick anything off in either place.
Your progress is saved on this device automatically. The code below takes a copy out and puts it back. Moving a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet is part of the subscription.
The code holds only this franchise. The link opens the tracker with your progress already filled in, good for showing someone where you're at. The image is a picture you can keep anywhere: scan the code on it with a phone, or drag the file back in below.
Every franchise you have touched, in one code.
Scan it with another device's camera, or paste the code in below. It never leaves your browser.
This reads the progress stored inside the picture, so nothing has to be retyped. If the image has been through a messaging app it may have been re-encoded and lost that: scan the code on it instead, or copy the code printed along the bottom.
Takes either kind of code. A single franchise code replaces that franchise, on any device. An everything code merges by default, so nothing you have ticked on this device is lost. Putting a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet is the part an account pays for.
Read only. This never changes what you have saved, and nothing leaves your browser. The code has to be their code for this same franchise: codes do not carry a name, so one from somewhere else may not be recognised as wrong.
Your email is confirmed and your account is ready. Everything you tick is saved on this device, as it always was.
Part of the subscription.
Your SagaList account.
Nothing else happens until you follow the link. If it has not arrived in a few minutes, look in your spam folder and search for SagaList. It is sent from a no-reply address on our own domain, so there is nothing to reply to.
Both addresses get an email: the new one to confirm it, and the old one so that nobody can move your account without you knowing. Nothing changes until you follow the link.
Signing out leaves everything you have ticked on this device exactly where it is. It only stops it syncing.
This removes your account, your email address, and the progress stored on our side. It cannot be undone and we cannot get it back for you.
This stops your subscription too. It is cancelled at Stripe in the same step, so nothing more is charged. The rest of this month is not refunded and you will not be able to use it, so cancel from Manage or cancel and delete later if you would rather keep it.
