I didn't catch the whole commercial, is it a movie about 24? Or is it season 9 - a whole 24 new episodes?
Season. IIRC, 12 episodes. Not sure how that fits into the formula unless each is 2 hrs long. Or did I miss the explanation?
I remember when 24 got renewed for it's second season. I was chuckling to my wife and asked "How many bad days of epic proportion can one guy get in his lifetime?" LOL!
One more bad day JB, one more!!!!!!!!
One more bad day JB, one more!!!!!!!!
24 showrunner Howard Gordon has tweeted a picture of the 24: Live Another Day script cover which reveals the first episode takes place between 12:00PM – 1:00PM Per an earlier Jon Cassar tweet, we know the second hour takes place 1:00PM – 2:00PM. This means the two hour premiere on May 5th takes place entirely in real time with no hours being skipped in-between.

Sky1 will host the new series in May. It will once again play in real-time, with each episode representing an hour of Bauer's life – but should it now be called 12?

Jack is Back! And this time it's local...
Yes, all-action heart-stopping cult series 24 is to return to British screens in May after a four year absence for an adventure set in London.
Sky1 will once again play host to the Emmy award-winning series, starring Keifer Sutherland as Jack Bauer, the heroic lynchpin of the fictional Counter Terrorism Unit (CTU) – but with one important change.
For previous series, 24 episodes were shown in a "real-time" structure with each one representing an hour in Bauer's life. But the new series series will take place over just 12 hour-long instalments.
According to Sky, the 12 episodes will still represent Bauer's "real-time" adventures over a 24-hour period. The broadcaster was unable to confirm exactly how this will work in practice given that the new series which will be twelve hours long.
What we can be sure of is that 24: Live Another Day – what Sky is referring to as an “event series” – will premiere on Fox in the US on 5 May with a two-hour special and will air in the UK in the same month. In fact, it is expected to reach UK audience on or near the US date, according to sources.
Shot in London, the series sees Bauer on the run in our capital city and will retain its fast pace and split screen visuals. It will also herald the return of Mary Lynn Rajskub as systems analyst Chloe O’Brian and other regulars Kim Raver (Audrey Raines) and William Devane (James Heller).
Sutherland said: “24 has always had such a global sensibility. But to be able to tell this intense 24-style story with the beauty of Europe’s history and architecture as the backdrop is going to be fascinating. Hopefully, by the time you’re finished watching an episode, you’ll feel like you’ve been there…on the edge of your seat.”
In addition, Sky customers will be able to watch the entire 24 series through Sky’s On Demand service.
Adam MacDonald, Director of Sky1 HD, added: “The scale, ambition and fast-paced energy of the series epitomize everything we look for in a drama for the channel. I can’t wait to bring it back to our customers.”
The first season of 24 will be available from Sky’s On Demand service from February, with the box set of seasons one to eight being available from March.
The original premiered in 2001, with the last series finale airing in May 2010. A television film 24: Redemption was also made and broadcast between series six and seven.

Jack does the impossible again! Condenses 24 hours into 12!
Glad Chloe is back. Loved her.
Wondering who's now heading CTU?
Didn't realize Audrey Raines was from Grey's Anatomy. Just know her from Revolution. Forgot she was Jack's girlfriend. Wonder how crazy she'll be on her return?
Cuthbert was such a cutie. Too bad she isn't in 24 anymore. With Kiefer defying the years, I don't think she could pass for his daughter anymore.
Love that girl since season 1. She was in Season 8, had a daughter and husband. Kiefer was a grandpa.
Acc to Wiki, 12 episodes. It will be loosely fitted to the real time concept unlike before. So there will be jumps in time in some future episodes.
Between the hacking going on in these episodes and those in Nikita, I am now getting a better understanding of WikiLeaks and Homeland Security.
