Kiefer Sutherland Eager to Resume '24' with New Material and Gordon's Plan, Pending Disney Approval

Kiefer Sutherland has expressed a strong desire to conclude the story of Jack Bauer, noting that some existing elements are already excellent. In a Canadian interview, Sutherland revealed that executive producer Howard Gordon has an idea he favors. Sutherland previously clarified, "I'm not the one holding things back," explaining that there was no material developed at that time. However, new material has since been written, which Sutherland describes as "fantastic" and "strong." Despite Sutherland's approval of Gordon's plan, he cannot yet guarantee a tenth season of 24. This is primarily because Disney now owns the rights, necessitating approvals through various corporate channels before a green light can be issued. Sutherland stated he would "love to do it," expressing his wish to "close this chapter," which was left open. He added, "We've made some important moves," and remains hopeful for a chance to continue.
