Kiefer Sutherland Says '24' Revival Script Is In Hand, Jack Bauer Return Possible

The project requires Disney approval before any revival can move forward.

Overview

  • In a new Montreal Now interview, Sutherland said showrunner Howard Gordon has written material he considers "really strong."
  • He voiced a desire to close Jack Bauer's story and said "there’s a chance," noting "considerable steps forward" but no greenlight.
  • Following Fox asset sales, franchise rights now sit with Disney, and Sutherland said the proposal must pass through new internal channels.
  • The format remains undecided, with reporting pointing to options such as a new season, a limited run, a TV movie, or a potential feature.
  • Jack Bauer last appeared in 2014’s 24: Live Another Day, and the franchise later tried a 2017 spin-off, 24: Legacy, without Sutherland.
