Jack Bauer Archives

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[...]

The second concept was a prequel to the original series that showcases the backstory of CTU agent Jack Bauer, from Gordon and 24 co-creators Joel Surnow and Bob Cochran.

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[...]

In the four years since the original series ended it's eight-season run, there has been the mini-series 24: Live Another Day with Jack Bauer and 24: Legacy with Corey Hawkings Legacy didn't quite catch on as the network had hoped, but they seem to love the format and the title.

According to executive producer Howard Gordon while speaking at the ATX Television Festival, there is a possibility for Kiefer Sutherland to return as Jack Bauer during the second half of the first 12-episode season of 24: Legacy. I do think the character has life in him, whether it's a movie or if he intersects with this[...]

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[...]

I have been pleasently surprised by the show and how much I could get back into the adventures of Jack Bauer and his ticking clock Though I miss President Palmer still. We have reached the penultimate episode of this season tonight and a slew of footage has hit the web So if you can't wait to[...]

As the May 5th premiere of 24: Live Another Day fast approaches, fans of Jack Bauer can get their fix a little early IDW is launching 24: Underground, a new comic series that bridges the gap between the end of the final season of 24 and Live Another Day. Bringing this new series to life will[...]
