In 2001, Kiefer Sutherland blasted onto screens as Jack Bauer, and altered TV without end. After eight seasons and a belated, shorter ninth season entitled Dwell One other Day, it appeared that Bauer had come to the tip of his journey. Now, greater than a decade on, maybe the door is opening on one other revival of 24, one of the crucial groundbreaking sequence in tv historical past.
What made 24 distinctive was its use of real-time, with each episode masking an hour of Jack Bauer’s newest day from hell. Every episode started and ended with the ticking of that iconic clock, and each episode ended on a cliffhanger second to finish all cliffhangers – each single time. Total, the sequence scored 87% from each critics and audiences on Rotten Tomatoes, however a number of seasons had been rated an ideal 100%, and it was solely the previous couple of that dipped into mid-70s.
So, may the return of Jack Bauer be overdue? In response to Sutherland, throughout an look on CJAD 800 AM, the revival of 24 has “by no means been nearer.” He stated:
“Howard Gordon has provide you with an concept that I like. Earlier than, the fabric had not been written, so I must say, “I’m not the one which’s in the best way.” [But] one thing has been written. I believe it’s actually good. I believe it’s actually sturdy. 24 was initially with Fox. Now it’s owned by Disney due to what Fox has offered off, and so it has to undergo completely different channels earlier than it’s both accepted or disapproved. Like everyone else, it’s one thing I would love to do. I wish to shut that story. It was left form of extensive open. So, fingers crossed. There’s an opportunity. We’ve taken some appreciable steps ahead.”
Will ’24’ Season 10 Really Occur?
Followers of 24 have been listening to rumors of a attainable massive display outing for Jack Bauer for years. That was seemingly deserted for the ninth season in 2014. Since then, there have been a number of whispers that growth on a brand new 24 sequence had begun, however someplace within the center, Disney went and acquired Fox.

Having already labored their manner by a number of massive IPs, with big success for the Alien and Predator franchises amongst others, Disney would certainly be completely satisfied to have Sutherland bringing Bauer again to shut the guide on the story in a extra particular manner than Season 9 achieved. Who is aware of, maybe there may even be multiple season left within the previous canine.
