TV series 24 to return next May

Looks like Fox is bringing Jack Bauer back out of retirement along with 24, but it will only be 12 hours this time. Hints of future 12 hour 24's as well.

I recently just rewatched the series 24 and am very excited for its return. Nobody does torture like Jack Bauer.

Reilly detailed plans for what could be the first of several "24" comebacks. Reilly spoke to reporters in a conference call prior to Fox's upfront presentation to advertisers Monday.

Though the original conceit of "24" was that it ran in real time across 24 hours, the new "24" will unfold over just 12 hours, and will likely begin airing in May. Reilly said it will feature only the most eventful hours in a new Jack Bauer adventure.

He also said the Kiefer Sutherland series could return for more than one additional run.

He also said a "who's who of Hollywood" has expressed interest in taking part in the show, and that its producers began to realize that a limited-run series was the best way to continue the show as plans for a feature film fell apart. One reason the show remains popular, Reilly said, is that it was "creatively vibrant" when it ended.

The network plans to use "24" to help launch another limited-run series, M. Night Shyamalan's "Wayward Pines."

Kiefer Sutherland Signs On For More '24', New Limited Series Is A Go At Fox

Jack Bauer is back! I've learned that, after marathon negotiations, Kiefer Sutherland has closed a deal for a new installment of 24 on Fox. With him on board, I hear Fox has greenlighted the real-time drama as a limited series and will announce it during its upfront presentation today. The continuation is a brain child of longtime 24 showrunner Howard Gordon, now executive producer of Showtime's Homeland.

Sounds good if they can get back to the seasons 3-4-5 show...otherwise I won't watch.
