Kiefer Sutherland Says "24" Revival Has Been Written

What's your favorite season of '24'? Most people will say it's season 5 when it turns out that President Logan (Gregory Itzin) is actually the villain. If President David Palmer (Dennis Haysbert) is compared to Barack Obama, then President Logan is...

Kiefer Sutherland, who played long-suffering agent Jack Bauer, has revealed on Montreal Now's Aaron Rand radio show that the future of '24' is alive and will come soon: “[Showrunner and executive producer] Howard Gordon has come up with an idea that I like. Before, the material had not been written, so I would have to say, ‘I’m not the one that’s in the way.’ But something has been written. I think it’s really good. I think it’s really strong.”

For anyone who knows me, it's no secret that '24' is my favorite show of all time. I've maybe rewatched the entire nine seasons about three times, and the show is the dramatic version of 'Seinfeld' where you can start at any point during the episode and be sucked in, and before you know it, you have binged half a season, and you forgot to bring the Cat inside. I'm joking, I don't have a cat, but if I did, I'd imagine I wouldn't be able to look myself in the mirror.

No news on whether this would be a complete season with 24 episodes, 12 episodes like London's set season 9, or a movie. Sutherland says there are legal hurdles to clear before this becomes clearer: “24 was originally with Fox. Now it’s owned by Disney because of what Fox has sold off, and so it has to go through different channels before it’s either approved or disapproved. Like everybody else, it’s something I would really like to do. I would like to close that story. It was left kind of wide open. So, fingers crossed. There’s a chance. We’ve taken some considerable steps forward.”

With Jack Bauer being sent to a Russian prison when we last saw him eleven years ago, the political world has changed since then, where it didn't matter if Bauer was trying to save the life of a President, Democrat or Republican. Comment below with your thoughts.
