It looks like someone in the upper echelons of FOX USA thankfully read my opinion last month about the future of 24, and made some fast-paced executive decision-making which we all really wanted to hear. Pioneering action hero Jack Bauer is back, and hell's coming with him (again!), in the new limited series, 12 episode adventure coming May 2014- the intriguingly James Bond-esque 24: LIVE ANOTHER DAY. The lack of a 24 film may ultimately prove to be one of the biggest loses for the action genre and summer multiplexes, but at least we'll have Jack back on the small screen one more time, where he belongs, in what apparently is being touted by insiders as a re-start for the franchise.
There's no plot details yet apart from its being set several years after our hero became an exiled figure from his political and spy-dom superiors, but with two of the award-winning, pioneering series best creative talents back aboard, THE X-FILES and HOMELAND's Howard Gordon (also showrunner) and David Fury, we're sure icon Kiefer Sutherland will have lots to mentally and physically engage himself in, hopefully sparring anew with his tantrum computer genius best friend, the lovable Chloe O'Brian (Mary Lynn Rajskub).
Let the mayhem begin all over again. Welcome home, Jack....
