Kiefer Sutherland Says New '24' Script Is In Play, but Revival Awaits Disney's Nod

Sutherland backs a new Howard Gordon script pending Disney approval.

Overview

  • Sutherland said showrunner Howard Gordon has written material for a potential return that he considers "really strong."
  • The actor expressed a desire to come back as Jack Bauer to properly close the character's story, calling recent movement "considerable steps forward."
  • He noted the franchise is now under Disney ownership following Fox asset sales, meaning any project must clear new corporate approvals.
  • No format has been decided, with possibilities reported to include a new season, a shortened run, a TV movie, or a feature film.
  • All developments stem from Sutherland's Montreal Now interview, and no studio has announced a green light, timeline, or production details.
