You 24-aholics have been wondering when your favorite countdown show was coming back on the air…well Fox just announced that it will be back on Sunday, January 13th before moving to its regularly scheduled day Monday the next night.
Here is how Fox described the upcoming season:
“Day 7” of 24 will continue the show’s unique and trend-setting format with compelling new elements. With CTU dismantled, the show’s setting moves to Washington, DC, where JACK BAUER (Kiefer Sutherland) faces trial for his actions in the pursuit of justice. Bauer’s day gets off to a shocking start when former colleague TONY ALMEIDA (Carlos Bernard), last seen in “Day 5,” returns after being left for dead by a terrorist conspirator in CTU’s infirmary.
“Tony’s uncertain fate near the end of ‘Day 5’ left the door open for his return,” said executive producer/show-runner Howard Gordon. “And since there was no silent clock at the conclusion of his last appearance – the 24 tribute to a major character’s demise – we always kept this as a possibility.”
So I guess you people that were unhappy with season six can take some satisfaction that they are turning the clock back to season 5 to start season 7!
