BREAKING: There Will Be a Season 9
Thursday, April 1st, 2010BREAKING NEWS: I got wind of this the other day, and was able to track down confirmation. There will be a Season 9 of 24!
Jack Bauer fans rejoice! There will be no silent clock for 24 at the end of the current season.
Original creators Joel Surnow and Robert Cochran have convinced Sutherland and many of the current cast to return for “at least one more season,” by promising their renewed involvement.
“We realize that our loyal fans have been somewhat dissatisfied with the direction the show has taken over the past seasons,” Surnow says, “and none of us want things to end on a low note.”
Keifer Sutherland spoke on the set during the filming of the last hours of the current season, saying, “This show has been terrific ride and Jack Bauer has been an amazing character to play. Originally, I was reluctant to continue, but after reading an outline of what Bob and Joel have in mind for season 9, I’m convinced that we can continue.”
As usual, there is tight security concerning the new plot line. However, citing the need to convince fans, Surnow did offer a teasing look at what is planned.
“Being accused of recycling plot lines and succumbing to political correctness made us realize that we would have to really push the envelope if we wanted to continue. I won’t offer details, but I will say that the new season places Jack and Agent Walker in the middle of a situation that will take them closer to the edge then they have ever been.”
