JACK IS BACK!!!
NEW ACTION-PACKED EVENT SERIES “24: LIVE ANOTHER DAY”
TO RESTART ICONIC CLOCK IN SUMMER 2014 ON FOX
Kiefer Sutherland to Return as JACK BAUER in New Event Series
Produced by 20th Century Fox Television, Imagine Television and Howard Gordon’s Teakwood Lane Productions
FOX has ordered 24: LIVE ANOTHER DAY, a thrilling new tent-pole event series set to restart the clock on the groundbreaking and Emmy Award-winning drama franchise starring Kiefer Sutherland. Produced by 20th Century Fox Television, Imagine Television and Howard Gordon’s Teakwood Lane Productions, 24: LIVE ANOTHER DAY will make its historic debut in the summer of 2014 on FOX.
The announcement was made this morning by Kevin Reilly, Chairman, Fox Broadcasting Company; Dana Walden and Gary Newman, Chairmen, Twentieth Century Fox Television; and Brian Grazer, Chairman, Imagine Entertainment.
The high-octane saga will reunite showrunner Howard Gordon with Sutherland and retain the real-time, pulse-pounding, fast-paced format with split screens and complex interweaving storylines, with 12 episodes representing 24 hours. The suspenseful event series once again follows the exploits of heroic agent JACK BAUER (Sutherland), who will resume his story several years following the events of the final season.
“It’s great to have Jack back. ‘24’ redefined the drama genre, and as we reimagine the television miniseries, this iconic show will again break new ground for the network,” said Reilly. “The series remains a global sensation, and everyone at FOX is thrilled to be back at work with Kiefer, Howard and the incredibly creative ‘24’ team.”
“When Howard came to us saying he had an idea for a new chapter of ‘24,’ he quite simply had us at ‘hello,’” remarked 20th Century Fox Television Chairmen Gary Newman and Dana Walden. “’24’ is a signature series for this studio, beloved by critics and audiences worldwide. Howard’s idea to revive the franchise as an event series couldn’t be timelier, and with the brilliant Kiefer Sutherland on board to reprise his iconic role, we can’t wait to get started.”
Added Imagine Television Chairman Brian Grazer, “I'm both excited and proud that Howard, Kiefer, and I, along with ours partners at 20th and Fox, have this new opportunity to give ‘24’ fans what they've been asking for – more Jack Bauer. It's been my experience that people love Jack Bauer because he's a guy who cuts through the red tape and gets the hardest things done. I am certain 24: LIVE ANOTHER DAY will again have a huge impact on our culture.”
“The response to ‘24’ is unlike anything I have ever experienced as an actor before,” noted Sutherland. “To have the chance to reunite with the character, Jack Bauer, is like finding a lost friend. The story ideas from Howard Gordon are exciting and fresh, and will not disappoint. Great thanks to 20th Century Fox Television, Imagine Television and the FOX network for this opportunity. Make no mistake, my goal is to knock your socks off. See you soon.”
“Jack Bauer has always been an exciting, thrilling character, and I confess that I’ve missed him. I think the audience has too,” said executive producer Howard Gordon who served as showrunner for most of the series’ run and won multiple Emmy Awards for his work. “The character has evolved through the years, and this new and exciting event series format is perfect to tell the next chapter of his story and continue to reflect how the world is changing. Fans can rest assured that the Jack they know and love will be back.”
Originally premiering November 6, 2001, ‘24’ was nominated for a total of 73 Emmy Awards, winning for Outstanding Drama Series in 2006. Over eight seasons, Kiefer Sutherland garnered seven Emmy Award nominations and one win for Outstanding Lead Actor – Drama Series. While the series gained global recognition, Sutherland’s portrayal of the legendary character penetrated the American psyche like no other dramatic television character to become part of the cultural lexicon.
24: LIVE ANOTHER DAY is a production of 20th Century Fox Television and Imagine Television in association with Teakwood Lane Productions. Howard Gordon, Brian Grazer and Kiefer Sutherland will executive produce, along with an additional team to be announced. The original series, which had its last American broadcast on May 24, 2010, was created by Joel Surnow and Robert Cochran.

With this, Arrested Development and the Veronica Mars film, I actually have future hope for any TV series that has ended/been canceled.
ReplyDeleteBOO YAH!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI am pleased for fans of the series, not one I watched, but yay it certainly gives hope that cancelled shows are not necessarily dead :)
ReplyDelete"Fans can rest assured that the Jack they know and love will be back.”
ReplyDeleteI hope they are not going down torture lane again. I´m so sick of it.
bring buffy back :)
ReplyDeleteIt is just insane the way cancelled shows have been resurrected lately. Not that I am complaining.
ReplyDeleteJack is back and Coulson lives oh what a week so far!
ReplyDeleteThis makes me so happy. I had started watching 24 from the 5th season until the end. It was always a great show because the seasons were pretty self contained, you could start anytime and understand it for the most part. It was always a lot of fun too, it was everything I was hoping The Following could try to be.
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to go back and watch it from the beginning, but never really felt like it. This really gives me the incentive to go back and watch the whole thing.
I wonder if there's a chance they'll bring back any of the other actors, besides Kiefer. Either way, I loved 24 (even when it wasn't at its best) and am very interested in seeing it again.
ReplyDeleteSo many people are excited for this, so I'm excited for them, and this will be the lead in for Wayward Pines which I'm much more interested in.
ReplyDeleteI hope that someday, we will read this...
ReplyDeleteDon´t. They pretty much recycled the storylines of the first three seasons into the later ones (esp. season 6 incorporates many of previous storylines,- that´s why many fans hated it. I liked it. Was like a buffet;-) - ). Aside of it there´s nothing to miss. The rediculed storylines like the cougar or the amnesia happen in the early seasons, so don´t waste your time.
ReplyDeleteI made that mistake and I can tell you, the show is only good season 5 onwards.
I remember reading an April's fools joke a couple of years ago about a season 9 for 24....never thought it'd become real, I'm so glad it did!
ReplyDeleteWell, I am sure there won't be much torture seasons due to all the libtards complaining about it, so don't worry :)
ReplyDeleteI agree for the most part. There are a lot of recycled story lines like the nukes and traitors. What I disagree with is that Seasons 1, 3, 5, and 7 were awesome. But Seasons 4, 6 and 8 sucked really bad. Seasons 2 was good but not that good. Redemption was pretty cool, though.
ReplyDeleteThey HAVE to bring back Chloe! DAMN IT, CHLOE! lol If Charles Logan wouldn't have shot himself, I would like to see him back. Always liked his character but bringing him back would be a little weird, especially seeing as how he could have some brain damage from surviving the attempted suicide lol
ReplyDeleteNow, FOX need to air it on a Sunday night to make it perfect. That's always how 24 was aired. That's always how it should be aired.
ReplyDeleteawsome thx u fox best thing ever
ReplyDeleteAside from the season premiere events (and the Tuesday night seasons), "24" always aired on Monday nights.
ReplyDeleteI was basically talking about Chloe as well, LOL. Even if they can't bring Tony or anyone from the last season- they have to bring back Chloe. I wonder if they're even negotiating with the actress.
ReplyDeleteIt was always a Monday night, Sunday to start with when they did 2-night 4-hour premieres then made its regular slot on Monday nights. Hope they do a 2-hour premiere again and run it straight through without any breaks.
ReplyDeleteReally? I thought it was always on Sundays. Maybe it's just me being stupid.
ReplyDelete@Josh Eilberg
Let them bring back former president wayne palmer including tony almeida too
ReplyDeleteGreat news! BUT
ReplyDeleteWhats with the crappy half season, di it properly and have 24 ep
i dont no why so many people are excited for this dont get me wrong i loved 24 probable one of my all time fav tv shows but massive mistake to bring it back & as only 12 episodes. The whole concept of 24 is each episode was 1 hour of a day. By bringing it back for 12 eps there ruining the whole concept
ReplyDeleteYour missing out big time I don't know what this person is talking about, every season is at least good if not great better than most shows even out today. Also without knowing or connecting with characters from past experiences you lose some of the impact the show has on you, I would definitely go back on netflix they have every season by the time you watch every season again the new one will probably be out.
ReplyDeleteWhen I got married I introduced my wife to the show went through the first 5 seasons in like a month lol. I thought season 7 and 8 were the weakest but even then it's jack bauer and it's really well produced TV so even the weak season are good.
i think they are just saying that they want to see how well the ratings are than they will probably continue on.
ReplyDeleteI agree but I think they are just testing the waters to see if people really want to than once they get an overwhelming response I am sure they will have 12 more, but if they don't I agree it could be horrible.
ReplyDeleteWahoo!! Jack's back, me and my husband just watching season 8 again after reliving the whole previous 7 seasons - cannot wait!
ReplyDeleteWait, crappy half season you say? it says "retain the real-time, pulse-pounding, fast-paced format ... with 12 episodes representing 24 hours." that sounds like they are 2 hour episodes to me...
ReplyDeleteDon't forget Family Guy's resurrection.
ReplyDelete24hrs is my best series movie so far...mind blowing seasons,right from season 1 to 8...you learn alot from every scene...Chloe O'brian,the best in IT knowledge...cant wait to watch season 9,probably the last season.
ReplyDeleteHe died :( It was barely a blurb but you see his death announcement on a Newspaper in 24 Redemption.
ReplyDeletewhats all this 12 episode chat though? i loved this show but before they kill it i owuld really like to see it in genuine real time, no ad breaks and in 24 episodes please unless the episodes are going to be 2 hours long then ok....
ReplyDeleteI know this is very old post, but season 5 and 7 was the best ever made. I still cries for Bill. :'(
ReplyDeleteJack, Chloe, Bill, Tony and Walker was the best team ever seen on ear... umm.. television. To bad only Chloe and Jack remains.
And Audrey, how I miss her. Hope she get's well soon. ;)
I a going back to watch season 1-8 and by summer i will be on cue with all the twists just in case they refer us back to a previous episode
ReplyDeleteyour opinion. don't be so negative and ruin it for others, let them make up their own minds.
ReplyDeleteagreed, love audrey as well as tony, chloe and tony
ReplyDeletechloe is back as well, and I'm sure others
ReplyDeleteI have just started to watch 24..yes season 1 the beginning. Okay I really love it. However I am so glad that I did not watch this when it was 1 hour a week ......a week between episodes AHHHHHHHH. Great show. I am late to the party but better late then never.
ReplyDeleteMy long awaiting for SEASON 09 IS NOW OVER JACK BORE THANK YOU
