Twentieth
Century Fox Television, Imagine Television and FOX are sending the
production of 24: LIVE ANOTHER DAY across the Atlantic to London for a as the new series restarts the clock on the franchise starring Kiefer
Sutherland. As previously announced, 24: LIVE ANOTHER DAY will make its
debut in the summer of 2014 on FOX.
“‘24’
has always had such a global sensibility,” said Sutherland, who also
serves as an executive producer on the event series. “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.”
Co-showrunner
and executive producer Evan Katz added, “We wanted the show’s return to
be an event, and part of that was putting Jack in a very different
context.
Four years ago, we left Jack a fugitive from justice and we’re going to
pick him up four years later in London.”
Co-showrunner
and executive producer Manny Coto continued, “Jack is soon back on the
run and it takes us into the streets of London and in places that break
new ground
for the show. We’ve shot in New York, Washington, Los Angeles and Cape
Town -- but now we’re in London and Jack’s loose on the streets of
Europe, hunted by and hunting bad guys.”
Originally
premiering November 6, 2001, “24” was nominated for a total of 73 Emmy
Awards, winning for Outstanding Drama Series in 2006. Over the course of
eight seasons,
and a two-hour telefilm, Sutherland garnered seven Emmy Award
nominations and one win for Outstanding Lead Actor – Drama Series. While
the series gained global recognition, Sutherland’s portrayal of the
legendary character penetrated the American psyche like
no other dramatic television character to become part of the cultural
lexicon.
24: LIVE ANOTHER DAY is a production of 20th
Century Fox Television and Imagine Television in association with
Teakwood Lane Productions. Howard Gordon,
Brian Grazer and Kiefer Sutherland will executive produce, along with
an additional team to be announced. The original series, which had its
