Coming off from my other thread here, it has now  become confirmed jack is back!

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 Gordons 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.

Its 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. Howards idea to revive the franchise as an event series couldnt be timelier, and with the brilliant Kiefer Sutherland on board to reprise his iconic role, we cant 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 Ive 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, Sutherlands 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.

I tried watching this on Netflix instant, and while I enjoyed the show, I could only get past two seasons. I think the pacing was just awful by having the 24 episode format. I may end up checking it out now that it's got shorter seasons.

I think the 12-hour thing could be better for 24. Hopefully that will mean less filler "Kim chased by mountain lion" storylines. Even in 24's good seasons there were parts that just dragged or felt pointless

Nice, the last season left on a huge cliffhanger so this should hopefully let them clear things up.

24 isn't the best, but it's entertaining nonetheless. Currently half way though season 8 :D

This was such awesome news And I never expected it. 24 is the best show period. Now if the X-files could be similarly brought back... that would be nice too. lol

This... is what I've been missing in my life for the past 3 years. I just hope Kiefer can refrain from drinking/driving so he doesn't end up in jail and keeps 24 from returning. WELCOME BACK JACK!!!

Isn't 24 one of those shows that had tried to brainwash people that we would have a black president before we had one?

It also can't be worse than season 6.

24 is a great show, but there were some dark times.

I'm honestly surprised that anyone watched 24 after the gimmick wore off, a few episodes into season one. Hell, I has no idea the show even survived past three seasons. But...good for those who liked it, I suppose?

24 is great, it's very deep, there's no gimmick... unless you're artistically retarded person who only enjoys procedural shows.

 

btw there was no cliffhanger, get a clue people.... read some books
