Kiefer Sutherland Says New ‘24’ Script Positions Jack Bauer for Return

The project awaits Disney approval with its format still undecided.

Overview

  • Sutherland told a Montreal radio program that Howard Gordon has written an idea he likes, calling the material "really strong."
  • He said he wants to come back to close Jack Bauer’s story and described the effort as having taken "considerable steps forward."
  • No format has been chosen, with possibilities discussed that include a new season, a TV movie, or another approach.
  • Because Disney now controls the franchise following Fox’s asset sale, any revival must clear Disney’s internal approval channels.
  • Jack Bauer’s last on-screen appearance was in 2014, and outlets describe the revival effort as a developing story with more updates expected.
