When Gordon was asked about it in the Deadline interview, he shared that while it is in development, Disney has not yet agreed to it.To add to his previous comment, he stated:"They, meaning Disney [parent company of 20th TV] and such, have not committed to it, so it still is a process. Look, it’s actually no secret, and this is worth saying. I, over the years, and obviously various iterations, not just with Jack, but, trying to spin it off with Corey [Hawkins], and with different people. I’ve also sat through dozens of pitches from other writers. I’ve developed a few."He further added:"One thing we couldn’t figure out for a long time was a direction that ever held water, that sustained itself. This feels like it could be, but it’s not formal, it’s not done."However, he also discussed how shows like the Fox action drama series might not work as well as they did in the past, due to the habits formed by our recent use of streaming services. He stated:"I think it is a structural issue, but it’s also an attitude and consumption issue that we have been habituated - first cable and then streaming - I think this fracturing of attention has actually made not just making something like 24 in a calendar year impossible, but actually consuming it."While praising HBO's effort with The Pitt, which also released new episodes every week and was based on a 15-hour shift in an a hospital, he also talked about how shows like 24, which also covered every hour of a particular day, are affected by the current viewing habits that has formed in viewers due to the streaming services, which has affected the attention span of viewers.Howard Gordon is also the showrunner of The Beast in Me, which will be available to stream on Netflix from November 13, 2025, and stars Claire Danes of Homeland and Matthew Rhys from The Americans.Also Read: “Not dissimilar to my experience”: Palm Royale star Kaia Gerber talks about Mitzi’s journey of self-discovery in Season 2
