Kiefer Sutherland will always be grateful for his time on the Fox action-thriller 24 as CTU super-agent Jack Bauer Spanning over 200 episodes across the original series, the TV movie Redemption, and the limited series Live Another Day, the actor continues to have a vested interest in the franchise even if he's not starring[...]

As television franchises go, Kiefer Sutherland's beloved & beleaguered counter-intelligence agent Jack Bauer and the "24" universe are tough to keep down Created by Joel Surnow & Robert Cochran and running for eight seasons & a two-hour television film (from 2001 to 2014), the hugely popular franchise has been the subject of several attempts to[...]

Much like Kiefer Sutherland's beloved & beleaguered counter-intelligence agent Jack Bauer, it seems like you just can't keep 24 down Created by Joel Surnow & Robert Cochran and running for eight seasons & a two-hour television film (from 2001 to 2014), the hugely popular franchise has been the subject of several attempts to recreate the[...]

Jack Bauer is bringing CTU back together again…sort of with 24 star and executive producer Kiefer Sutherland headlining the 20th anniversary of the series premiere on FOX in a virtual reunion on November 6 The virtual 24 fan convention features multiple panels and is an outlet to fundraise for Operation Smile Joining Sutherland are cast[...]

Fox is looking for another go-around with super-agent Jack Bauer as going through "active creative discussions" to bring back the Kiefer Sutherland–starred counter-terrorism drama 24 Fox Entertainment President Michael Thorn spoke to Deadline Hollywood about the possible return to the network "There's still a possibility, there's still some discussions with the producers on a take[...]

Stop us if you've heard this one before. Kiefer Sutherland is set to star in a series where there's action, intrigue, adventure, and double-crosses- but it's not 24 or Designated Survivor (or his brief journey over to Quibi for The Fugitive– "brief"… get it?) Nope, this time the actor is set to play a private spy[...]

Fading, it seems, are the days when a company would be as bold as IDW Publishing was in 2004 when they published a 24 comic book Major companies seem to lack interest, with Supernatural just sitting there with a huge audience and DC not having published a media tie-in comic for the series since 2012. Veronica[...]

After NXT Takeover: In Your House ended, WWE aired the latest episode of their 24 documentary series, Ric Flair: The Final Farewell The show was released earlier on Sunday on the WWE Network Feeling in a pretty nostalgic mood after all of WWE's nostalgia-peddling with In Your House, I decided to give it a watch[...]

Fox is continuing to explore options on how to expand its 24 franchise The original series starring Keifer Sutherland ran for eight seasons (2001-2010) Building off the success, the network produced a miniseries called 24: Live Another Day in 2014 Trying to break away from the Jack Bauer character, 24: Legacy premiered in 2016 featuring[...]

For some time now, Fox has had two potential new 24 series in development The first concept was a real-time legal action/thriller from 24 executive showrunner Howard Gordon and Jeremy Doner – one that went beyond the script stage and into further development and reworking The second concept was a prequel to the original series[...]

Credit: Fox So would that make it Pre-24? 2B4? Young Bauer? If this one doesn't work, would they try a sequel series set in the future called 24 – but with Donald Sutherland as Jack Bauer? Presumably believing that the number of their attempts to restart the franchise should equal the title of said franchise, Fox is[...]

Whedon's beloved and influential series starred Sarah Michelle Gellar, David Boreanz, Alyson Hannigan, Charisma Carpenter, Anthony Stewart Head, Seth Green and James Marsters. Fox is no stranger to reviving series, with The X-Files, 24 and Prison Break on the broadcast side; and The Greatest American Hero for ABC on the development side Still, Newman cautions that revivals[...]

Fox Broadcasting Chairman Gary Newman took some time during the Innovative TV Conference (INTV) in Jerusalem on Monday to touch upon the future of the 24 franchise; as well as offer some pointed insight into the renewal futures of series Gotham, The Last Man on Earth, L.A To Vegas, The Exorcist and Empire. Here are some[...]

According to a report from Deadline, Fox is eyeing a comeback for 24 with a female-lead But instead of it focusing on terrorism, the new take on the real-time format would be applied to a criminal justice arena The project, which has a script commitment, comes from Howard Gordon and Brian Grazer, the franchise's executive[...]

No more red wire/blue wire decision-making for CTU…at least for now. Fox has canceled 24: Legacy after just one season,  however it might not be the last we see of the realtime series. The network is still exploring a restructuring of the once-popular series, possibly as an anthology series built around a similar real-time storytelling format[...]

While he's best known for Supernatural these days, one of Misha Collins' most infamous roles was as Alexis Drazen in the series 24 in 2012, in which that character had a little problem with the U.S Senate  One Senator in particular, anyway  Obviously that was fiction, but here's some present-day fact: Collins disagrees with Congress'[...]

With Donald Trump taking office at the end of this week, the time is ripe for a reboot of Dick Cheney's favorite gratuitous torture porn show, 24 Called 24: Legacy, the spin-off will star a brand new Jack Bauer, this time named Eric Carter, played by Corey Hawkins, but will still feature basically the same plot as[...]

The actor who is already headlining the new ABC series Designated Survivor and has been mentioned by the producers of the new 24: Legacy series as a possible guest star… has no signed on to the reboot of the 1990 film he stared in, Flatliners. Sutherland will play a season doctor in the remake along side[...]

One of the things that has come out of the Television Critics Association press tour is that Fox is considering a segment of their 24 franchise without Kiefer Sutherland playing Jack Bauer They have been pitched a follow up to 24: Live Another Day by executive producers Howard Gordon, Evan Katz and Manny Coto that would focus[...]

 Will anyone make an objection? Okay, Transformers: More Than Meets The Eye #30 shows the danger of that. Though they'd probably have a better case against the hamster cheeked Jack Bauer in 24…  New Avengers Annual does look very very pretty and goes on the kind of ethereal painted journey through the pages, twisting and turning panels with[...]

It probably has gorilla glass anyway. A traditional 24 greeting… Even a Princess Of Mars can get slobbered on by doggie drool Hey, we're allowed to call her Princess Of Mars now, right? X-Files #12 derives its power from the foreshortened barrel of a gun But only because our eyes allow it. So… comics what have you picked up today?   [...]

And for Red Lamnterns, as ever, it helps to have the kind of lisp that I have when pronouncing the letter "R", and be British, for one character to have added amusement in the language stakes. Heh heh. 24 #1, just like the Crossed Annual, seems to have a thing for grandmothers being described in unfortunate terms… Eternal[...]

If you're a fan of the hit TV series, 24, you'll want to pick up 24 #1 to get the scoop of what Jack's been up sense the end of the last season! Elektra is back with a new series and a new purpose and we finally get to learn more about the origins of[...]

Not every comic book gets a massive media push for its launch. But 20th Century Fox were kind enough to lend a hand to IDW's licensed 24 comic, the prequel to the upcoming film 24: Live Another Day coming out on the 23rd April. Which has meant a rapid advance sellout for issue 1 from the distributor to[...]

Here's a new minute-long trailer for Fox's upcoming event miniseries 24: Live Another Day. Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) is a wanted man, and this new footage seems to offer some more clues as to why Yvonne Strahovski seems to think he's carefully planning something, having spent 4 years underground completely off the grid And it doesn't[...]

Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) finds himself in a position many an anti-hero has been before, seen as a threat by officials (Benjamin Bratt, in this case), dodging FBI agents (led by Yvonne Strahovski) while trying to stop a catastrophe (the President getting assassinated in London) from happening. This is the premise of 24: Live Another Day,[...]
