FOX is holding their TCA 2014 executive session with FOX Chairman and CEO Peter Rice and there’s some very encouraging news for 24 fans.
Peter Rice said that although there’s been no specific conversation regarding the show returning for another season just yet, he “loved” 24: Live Another Day and has “always been a fan” of the show. He expects to sit down and talk with the producers at some point in the future. “I’d love to see another season of 24,” he said.
“We haven’t had a specific conversation about it coming back yet, but I’m sure we will in the future. It’s a wonderful franchise. When you look at the show itself, it has many more stories to tell. I think we need to sit down and talk to the creators,” said Rice.
Another interesting fact mentioned during their panel is that FOX has moved from C3 to C7 on half of their advertising deals. Previously, everything beyond the third day of DVR viewership went un-monetized but now they will be earning money for the entire first week of viewership. This means DVR performance now plays a much more important role.
24: Live Another Day has been an extremely strong performer on DVR showing a massive 87% increase in viewership.
And finally, recently promoted FOX executives Dana Walden and Gary Newman start their new position at the end of this month. 24 director and executive producer Jon Cassar said just last week “There’s no one that supported us more than Gary and Dana. They’ve just been our backbone through all of this. So I’m sure, first of all, if there is another one, it’s going to come from their office first before it comes from anywhere. They couldn’t have been better to us through all the years.”
It seems this show has a lot of supporters inside the network, now they just need to have some meetings with the cast and crew and see whether a deal can be worked out.
Here’s some tweets from the panel:

July 20, 2014 at 4:29 pmIt would only make sense if Audrey needed to fake her death like Jack did in Day 4: and it would be possible and a nice bookend–Jack did it to her, she returned the favor…..
What if Heller discovered Mark was putting a hit on Audrey or the Russian agent Mr. Mustache gave the green light for a hit if Cheng didn’t follow through? Or if Cheng has a partner that wants to kill her no matter what…..or the mysterious Veep was in cahoots with Mark somehow……
Then Heller arranges to work with Kate to set up Audrey with a fake death — I understand there was No Time to set this up but if Jack can plan his fake death with Tony Chloe and Michelle getting up to speed in mere minutes then so can Audrey…..
Heller has her fake killed off so she can live free of Mark or Cheng or veep or Russian retribution…
Hellers reaction still reads authentic because he really won’t see her again or if he does he won’t recognize her but he is giving her a chance at a free life ….
Then in Day 10 Kate Chloe and Audrey team up to get Jack back…. Or Kate and Chloe get him back and they bump into Audrey accidentally at the very end of Day 10 setting up Day 11……

July 20, 2014 at 4:10 pmLAD’s screenplay was catastrophic, based only on recycling what the best and worst have been done in the previously seasons. Maybe the worst season of 24, near the S6. Great work for the showrunners!

Gerry Mander
July 20, 2014 at 7:26 pmI feel the need to defend the ending of ‘Live Another Day’ again from some here lambasting it, just because it wasn’t the ending YOU would have chosen does not make it a lousy ending, for sure it was clearly the bleakest ending of any ’24’ season to date, almost no character came out of it well and unscathed, but it was an emotional and affecting conclusion that felt earned, appropriate, and logical… all this talk of Coto and Katz destroying the franchise is just hyperbole, the overwhelmingly positive reaction from most critics and viewers to the season attests to it’s quality, but different strokes for different folks and all that…
I would say it’s likely near certain that ’24’ will return, either in 2016 or 2017 (at latest), Kiefer may be tired and wanting a rest after the hard slog of the season, but give it six months to a year and he’ll start to miss playing Jack again, wondering aloud how he’s getting on in Russia and maybe even start floating story and/or character ideas with HoGo, and then before long, we’re off to the races again! Personally, I haven’t yet given up on the possibility of the movie, but after the nightmare they had last time in trying to get it greenlit, plus the fact that FOX Television evidently holds ’24’ in much better regard than their counterpart feature film division does, means they’re better to stick with the limited series format, more so considering they have such big support in their corner from it’s new head honco Ms Walden…

July 20, 2014 at 7:40 pmAlthough I’m skeptical about “24” possibly returning, I would be down with Evan and Manny headlining again. The sterling critical reaction to LAD—especially considering how universally panned S8 was—must mean they did something right.
P.S. I’m with Gerry—give everyone involved a break. If the show were to return, waiting more than a year would be a boon.

July 20, 2014 at 8:33 pmGerry Mander
July 20, 2014 at 9:18 pm‘Live Another Day’ didn’t suffer from the absence of HoGo because there was NO absence of HoGo to begin with; Gordon himself co-ran the season with Manny Coto and Evan Katz, he sat in on executive meetings, on casting sessions, and on story conferences, he just didn’t supervise the editing process as he had before because of his frankly insane schedule with other shows. And don’t forget or underestimate the involvement of co-creator Bob Cochran who came out of retirement to work on the season, if anyone understands ’24’ it’s he, and he was a co-executive producer, so the idea of Coto and Katz somehow veering ’24’ off course by themselves frankly doesn’t hold water…
Brad
July 20, 2014 at 9:30 pmrwhiting
July 20, 2014 at 9:34 pmThis is only my opinion, though. I understand you may have been disappointed by LAD. I was not, and actually regard it as one of my favorite seasons to date. It’s certainly one of the best-written (and HoGo didn’t write any of the episodes). Manny and Evan did a great job.
Brad
July 20, 2014 at 9:38 pmAlas, differences of opinion. :)
Gerry Mander
July 20, 2014 at 9:45 pmOn this other stuff… Evan and Manny are really shouldering a lot of the showrunning, the day-to-day stuff [on 24] — I just have to take off my plate things like casting; I don’t do as much. I’m not going to be able to do as much editing as I’ve done in the past. So those things I just can’t do. But my value to all of those enterprises, really, is in the writers room, mostly.

I’m saying if you were casting today there is an actor that I think could bring a similar level of intensity and could carry the show on his back and that would be Chris Pine….

July 21, 2014 at 12:36 pmok let me tell you something man .. we have jack bauer there to kick some ass. he is the action hero of the show. but this show is also has some romance in it. if you look at every season of 24, it had romantic aspect of it also. and it’s audrey who had the best chemistry and long lasting love story with jack. people love her as jack’s best love interest. and jack loves her more than any of his previous love interests which is obvious. since the show will not last for another 5 or six seasons , and it’s very close to total end of series(jack is getting any younger), people want and expect her to be around and jack to have some peace when it ends. thats why they want her back(even though i dont think it will happen) .
Renee was nice to in season 7 and she kicking some ass was interesting. but in season 8 , she was pretty flat and boring and she had no purpose there because the show will always rely around jack and his action. so we dont need a female bauer. because jack will do just fine. so all jack want is a great love for jack who would balance his life, who will keep jack’s humanity and would give purpose for his life. and this roll can not be done greatly by anyone else except audrey judging by their history . and this is why people want her back.
Ozgur
July 22, 2014 at 1:30 amAnd I agree with ’24 for Life’, 24 is actually a counter-terrorism show so the more characters who are actually doing counter-terrorism work like Renee, the better the show it would be instead of flat and boring love interests like Audrey who were only there to be rescued over and over and over by Jack. Audrey as a character did not deserve to have such a long tenure wasted in the show for her in the first place. So in essence she did not really deserve better than dying as a victim which was her usual character.
And whatever script value and potential Audrey had in the show, Renee already had that potential and then some more. It was pretty obvious from the season the writers cannot even write anything for Audrey, even her usual romance story with Jack.
Justin
July 22, 2014 at 2:44 amPS i was not talking about whole thread. scroll up and see there is a message from some one about audrey’s death. but “24 for life” brought renee into it. that what i was talking about.. why need to bring renee in the message where people talking about audrey ? jealous much .. blah .. renee could not even last for atlease 2 seasons .. 1.6 season and she gone . rightly so

July 22, 2014 at 3:56 amThe fact that they introduced Kate Morgan who plays a similar role like Renee in the show actually proves my point. The show and the writers actually need a female agent and sidekick who follows Jack’s playbook because in the end this show is about counter-terrorism first not some run of the mill love story. The fact they immediately brought back another female agent right after Renee’s death just shows what a waste of potential Renee’s death was because they just started everything over instead of continuing a partner relationship Jack already had a history with. From field partner who had to make questionable moral choices to love partner , Renee could have done everything in the show.
And I disagree with Jack And Renee with you. Their chemistry as field partners were great a lot more so than Jack had with Kate with this season (who looked two separate individuals in the same scene rather than field partners). And in S8, Jack and Renee were just hooking up, so they should not be tearing each other with looks at each scene, then you would complain that it would be too much. And it is not like Annie and Kiefer cannot play a pair who were deeply in love (if they let her live) if you actually watch their other work. They are more than competent actors for that.
And Kim Raver was never going to play a gun-blazing heroine in the show after the way she was introduced the way in S4 nor did we expect her to kick ass with a gun. She could have still kicked ass a diplomatic liaison (which was supposed to be her job) in the show but still she could not because the writers never saw her more than a victim. So she died a proper death as a victim. Sure, Audrey had a long tenure in the show. And she significantly underperformed it.
I know Audrey has her fans. My point was you are making it sound as if she was loved by everyone in the fanbase. She wasn’t, if you go to same 24 facebook page you are linking me and check the messages about Kim Raver returning to 24 LAD months ago, you will see the sizeable negative reaction there as well. It is like you just see the messages you want to see.
And about your PS, wow, it is actually you who has so much insecurity and jealousy. So what if someone brought Renee into the picture in a thread about 24’s future and practically said she should not have been killed because she had plenty of potential for 24’s future (and for stories to tell like FOX’s chair said)? It is actually ’24 for life’ who was posting a more relevant message to this thread than you. Are you even than insecure about someone posting a paragraph in this site?
Justin
July 22, 2014 at 5:48 ammany people agree that season 8 is the worst. season 7 is not the best of the best. both season had female side kick renee. yet it didnt produce the best. so 24 can be awesome even without female jack bauer.
i think since you are a renee fan , you are biased. you are too blind to see the incredible work of kim raver in 24. she did perfectly what she was asked by the writers. i remember the picture from jack and audrey emotional reunion scene was the most liked picture in the 24 official facebook page even though this show is about action. so what ever you think it doesnt matter because majority of people do believe she was such a good addition to the show. whatever you blabbering doesnt matter because she will be always one of the biggest character of the show and much bigger character than renee. even the writers said ” they were going for an emotion” in the LAD finale. so first they thought of killing off jack but changed it and then they assessed whose death would give the similar affect / or biggest shock for the fans of the show and who would the fan think it would be impossible to kill off. so they decided it’s audrey and it will give the biggest shock for the fans so they chose her. so it gives you a picture how much the writers value her. whether the show will come back for another season or not is uncertain so killing off her wasnt the problem for the writers since not much more season to look for in the future.
yeah i know some people didnt like kim raver back in this season. these vocal but minority fans are 99% of time are rennee fans just like you. no doubt .. because i have seen many negative comments about audrey and when i made conversation with them , 99% of time i came to know they were the renee fans and that’s one of the reason why i could not stand renee fans or renee. bcause just because renee is dead, they hate all the other female leads on the show who jack care about (specially audrey). so frigging immature it is. i am pretty sure your simply one among those people. so i have nothing to say to you anymore. so bye bye
Ozgur
July 22, 2014 at 6:07 amAnd I dislike Audrey long before Renee appeared in the show so take your blinders elsewhere. Anyway I can make the same ad-hominem attacks like you that since you are an Audrey fan, you are biased and cannot just the show objectively but I am not going to lower myself to your level.
Justin
July 22, 2014 at 8:24 amOzgur
July 22, 2014 at 8:48 amRenee had done a lot more in her one and half season to differentiate herself from just being Jack’s love interest in the show. I don’t have anything to be insecure because first and foremost, I wanted her to be a field agent who were chasing terrorists and her character getting developed based on her moral choices, not by being some flat and boring love interest like Audrey. Renee was delivering what I wanted in the show, too bad they wasted that potential by using her a disposable love interest like Teri and Audrey now. What ’24 for Life’ and I were pointing out was her potential in the role of a counter-terrorist agent, of course that flew just over your head because you are so fixated on ‘who is Jack’s true love?’ question in a counter-terrorism show. We already know the answer and that was Teri anyway, not your beloved Audrey.
Justin
July 22, 2014 at 1:56 pmbut mate you frigging lost the plot. you say “Renee had done a lot more in her one and half season to differentiate herself from just being Jack’s love interest in the show”..mate she played just another agent. that all in it. the writers wanted a character who play both an agent and a love interest for jack. and she just plated that., that doesnt mean she did something that the TV world never seen before like you make it out to be. how many CSIs show and shows such as mentalist we have seen where the action hero and the action heroine hook up and have a love story but also they play police officers or FBI agents and kick some criminals ass s .. yeah she just done that. and its nothing sort of miracle that TV world never seen before.
mate !! it’s up to writers to make a character awesome or bad. you say that Renee had lot of potential and i could say same thing about audrey character. rather than just kill her off, they could have gave her a story line something like ” chinese flipped her and they made her mind into some kind of trance. and so she secretly working for Chinese, and jack finds out and he have to save the world but his feeling for audrey cloud his judgement and so on they could explore that possibility further and that would be really something new that 24 never explored and would be something totally a different story line. there are endless lead they could have taken with the audrey character. it all depended on good writing.
but with renee, they have explored all the potential.. that is being an agent and a love interest. writers did not know what else to go further with her character so they killed her off in season 8. watch season 8 again .. before she was killed off , she became so irrelevant for 24. her character had more value after she dead compared to before she was dead
and you said audrey was killed off because the writers didnt know what to do with her character since she was just a love interest. still they could have done much better and further explore her story starting with how she brought back to life, if mark had any hidden agenda, what happened within last 4 years and so on. but since it’s only 12 episode format , LAD had so much time constrain to explore many other possibilities. 12 episode format definitely doesnt give any room for a romantic story to be told or to explore other things about other characters in the show and due to the huge time constrain, it has to concentrate on jack only and his actions and his story. there for many characters who dont work with jack in the field become irrelevant so audrey became irrelevant so she was killed off. but i doubt it would have been the case if the LAD had 24 episodes. anyways i am not gonna agree with you doesnt matter how much you cry about the holiness about renee character and and you not gonna agree my view about audrey so our argument become pointless. so i wont bother to see or reply to you if you write me back .. so we leave it at that.

July 20, 2014 at 10:52 pmThe medics working on him suggested he’d likely live but suffer brain damage, which I thought was quite fitting really, because any plan of Charles Logan’s will fall apart and not get him what he was aiming for. It really does suck to be that guy. If Day 10 would involve the Russian government, if Suvarov were still in charge, I’d love to see Logan have a role as well.
All we know about Martha is Olivia’s vague, “It must have been hard on you, what happened to her.” Could mean she died, could just be a reference to her breakdown and going to jail for attempted murder. Think it was implied in that recent AMA that she’s still alive, and the wiki lists her as alive.
Aaron and Mandy would be fun bonuses in a Day 10, but Tony is the big MUST have, which I’m sure they’re aware of if they went to the trouble of writing and shooting the scene for the DVD which may well serve as a Day 10 prequel. Even if as Rice says there haven’t been official talks or contracts signed, surely there must have been unofficial talks or I can’t imagine he’d be talking about it in such confident terms.

Matt
July 20, 2014 at 10:29 pmObviously have no idea how that kind of a storyline would work with Jack being in a Russian prison now; in any event, I think a Season 10 should definitely be smaller-scale and personal. There’s only so many bio, nuclear, world war 3 type disasters that Jack can stop.

2. Clarify all the characters fates left unknown, such as Palmer’s adviser Lynne from S2, John Keeler, Martha Logan, Wayne Palmer, Karen Hayes, Allison Taylor, and so on.
3. Let Tony return and redeem himself.
4. Give Jack a happy ending he deserves.

One interesting thought I had: what if Logan didn’t die as a result of trying to commit suicide in the Season 8 finale? He has ties to the Russians. I’m sure that a Season 10 idea could somehow bring Logan back into the fold to try regarding Jack’s imprisonment.

July 21, 2014 at 9:53 amAs for Wayne Palmer’s fate, and those who’re responsible for his death should also be made clear. Personally I always feel the writers are hinting that Noah Daniels is part of the conspiracy throughout S6 to S8.
It’s too early to say whether there can be a S10, but if there is, i think to tie up all loose ends is a great way to bring back old audince while attracting new ones. It can also make 24 great show, even greater than it already is! And if you think really carefully, the writers actually have a lot of ways to achieve that, only if they’re willing to do that.

July 21, 2014 at 11:51 amI still say the whole people trying to kill Wayne thing should have been revealed to be Sherry alive and well.
Lynne I could care less about though. Martha doesn’t add much of anything anymore. Not sure Taylor would either.
Mandy, yeah, be nice to have her show up.

July 21, 2014 at 12:20 pmFor point 4, I think it would feel hokey and inauthentic for Jack to have a “happy” ending, but I also hope Jack has a less sad ending than what he had for Days 8 and 9. After all the people he’s killed and the laws he’s broken for the greater good, he’s never going to come out smiling like he just won the lottery. I think a less sad outcome is more likely if Jack’s role is diminished. Maybe he can go home and live an eccentric but semi-normal rest-of-his-life if some other hero makes the hard decisions and pays the toughest consequences instead.

July 21, 2014 at 10:37 pmCould be interesting to see him forced into retirement due to being disabled. I can’t see them ever killing him, (frankly with the number of times he’s escaped certain death I dunno how they could find a believable way to kill him), but having him lose a leg or something could be doable. I’d hope if they did that we got a season of him still helping with a mission from the sidelines (maybe playing mentor to Kate who’s the head of field ops) and being all frustrated that he physically can’t be in the field. Would give Kiefer a new aspect of the character to explore and would be a less physically taxing gig, double win. A physical disability could also get him moving in with his family, so he’d end up in “happy ending” territory but would still have some miserable issues to deal with, so it wouldn’t be a happy sappy ending and feel out of place for the show.

July 20, 2014 at 11:15 pmI’ve always been very on the fence regarding the renewal. Most of the time I don’t really want them to continue but some of the time that “What happened next!?” feeling creeps back up again.
This quote really feels to me like they want to renew it for another 12 episode season. Not sure why though. The ratings were merely okay by today’s network tv standards (by 2000s network tv standards, the ratings were terrible). And if they do want to renew it, only very strong resistance from Howard Gordon and/or Kiefer could stop FOX from doing it.

July 21, 2014 at 12:22 amIf they do bring it back for one more it definitely has to be a more personal story for Jack for the proper closure on series.

July 22, 2014 at 1:46 amReplying to the person who posted this in July – we have just seen the final episode of the latest series in Australia.
Why not base the next Series on the current Malaysian Aircraft tragedy. Jack is already in Russia! Easy to mix fact and fiction.
Something should be done about the way things are being handled at the crash site anyway. [i][b]Sympathy for all those who have lost loved ones in this tragedy.

July 22, 2014 at 12:27 pmJack Bauer is an international hero and will be for a very long time to come. Life would not be the same if we knew that this was the very last series. We all need something to look forward to, and this is it!

July 22, 2014 at 6:23 pmThe season should feature JB, Tony, Chloe, Heller, together with a few characters from LAD (definitely Morgan and Bordreau, but also Ritter).
I’d love them to end the series on a personal note, reuniting Tony, Jack and Chloe.
In my view as well, I think the Jack character has been through enough, and I can’t see Jack ending the series happily ever after as a grandfather. (The temptation to bring him back for another series/movie is too much).
I think the writers should start planning now, well ahead of the next series, on how they can let Jack go – a fitting finale to such an awesome action hero. That should then be the premise over which Season 10 revolves.

Hey producers, here’s your premise:
24: Exile (Season 10)
One year after he was taken by the Russians, Jack Bauer’s execution date has arrived, and the whole world will play witness. Fearing the repercussions of an American being executed by the Russian government, the United States government has authorized a covert CIA team, led by the recently-returned Kate Morgan, to go into Moscow and rescue Jack Bauer. They have 24 hours to complete their mission before Jack is executed.
This premise is perfect because they can test Kate Morgan as a lead without completely getting rid of Jack Bauer. There is no terrorist threat. There is no political scandal. There is no mole. Just a mission to find Jack. The US launches the mission to prevent the embarrassment of Jack being executed by Russia, which they see as a statement to the world that they have power and will use it to get whatever they want.
All footage of Jack is seen through video, giving them the option of pulling a Hassan (from S8) where he’s been dead the entire time. If they do this, of course they witness him going ape-shit in the video and killing a bunch of people even in a storm of bullets.
If they don’t do that, Jack can be rescued and taken home, but restricted to an office at the resurrected CTU LA, with Kate as his lead field agent and Chloe as his tech lead. This option also gives the option for Tony to return to assist Jack in running CTU, because of his experience, and maybe somebody high up was sympathetic to his cause and released him.
I don’t know, just an idea.
And for the love of god, bring back Stephen Hopkins to direct the entire season.
