Not that 24 fans needed to be made more excited/impatient for the long-delayed Season 7, Kiefer Sutherland at Fox's upfront presentation promised truly super-Bauered times ahead — and in a way, you have the WGA-AMPTP feud to thank for it. "After so many postponements, I can assure you that none of us at 24 took for granted the significance of this upcoming season," the series star-producer said. "But the time allowed us to do something that has never been done before — create a map of the entire season before we started shooting. So I can tell you without hesitation, I know for a fact, that Season 7 is going to be the best season yet."

What's more, Sutherland — who leaves for South Africa in a few weeks to begin filming the two-hour 24 movie airing Nov. 23 — says the real-time "prequel" to Day 7 will be a good time as well. "[Writer-executive producer] Howard Gordon is most proud of this [script] of anything he's done," Sutherland shared. "I can't tell you how excited we are to make it."

24 Clocks Back In November 23 with "Prequel"


Oh yeah — 24! Fox has set a Nov. 23 air
date for the two-hour movie that will bridge the gap between Days 6 and
7. Filmed partially on location in South Africa, the "prequel" finds
Jack Bauer battling an international crisis (yea!), while back home,
the United States prepares to inaugurate a new president.

"We're excited about the prequel because it explores Jack's complex emotional
state of mind and still has all the signature excitement and suspense
that fans have come to expect from 24," says executive producer
Howard Gordon. "Shooting in South Africa affirms everyone’s commitment
to making this season especially memorable for our fans."

The plan for Day 7, which was first detailed many months and one long
strike ago, seems rather intact, with all of the new or returning cast
members still on board. That includes (spoiler alert) Carlos
Bernard (as Tony Almeida), Cherry Jones (President Allison Taylor),
Colm Feore (First Gentleman Henry Taylor), John Billingsley (security
specialist Michael Latham) and "FBI agents" Janeane Garofalo, Annie
Wersching, Jeffrey Nordling and Rhys Coiro. Chloe and Bill are still
around, too, though CTU isn't.
