Kiefer Sutherland has revealed in a new interview that he’s done with 24.
“Me, I don’t see [myself] going back to it. We had set out to do 12 episodes to end the show and deal with some of the past history of the show. It was also an irresistible opportunity to go shoot in England. So for all of those reasons it made sense to do that last season.”
But he also left the door open and is non-commital, saying:
“But I think I said the same thing at the end of season 8 so I would hate to be held to that.”
24 Executive Producer Jon Cassar also thinks there’s still hope left, tweeting “never say never”.
#24 NEVER SAY NEVER

Our take? There’s a reason Jack Bauer was kept alive in the finale. It might take a while, but there’s a pretty decent chance of Jack Bauer returning once more.

January 18, 2015 at 5:24 amThey can do half a season with Tony and Chloe as lead characters but at some point Jack must be back…24 is about Jack Bauer …period !

January 18, 2015 at 10:38 amI haven’t read anything hinting at Carlos Bernard’s interest in returning or not, should he be offered the opportunity (we all know that Rajskub would jump at any offers to do so) but I wouldn’t find another season or movie satisfying without Jack being in at least 50% of it.
I definitely would not support any kind of lame spin-off series using the Kate Morgan character as the lead. As easy as she was on the eyes, she’s just not that believable as a terrorist-fighting action hero.

“Jack Bauer is 24” I hear you shout. Well I hate myself for saying it, but maybe that’s the problem, let’s make the real time thriller concept exciting again and do something new with it.
