In his final episode to date, Heath disappeared after being separated from Tara during a zombie attack on a bridge.
While 24: Legacy didn’t return for a second season, Hawkins has since gone on to appear in the Oscar-winning Spike Lee hit BlacKkKlansman, the biopic Georgetown opposite Christoph Waltz and Vanessa Redgrave, and the Michael Bay Netflix action movie 6 Underground.
