Tonight is really big night for Fox. Jack Bauer returns to TV in the new limited series reboot, 24: Live Another Day. Kiefer Sutherland is making his big return to the network, After Kevin Bacon and X: Men’s Shawn Ashmore said goodbye in the Season 2 Finale of The Following.
Recently,Jack Bauer himself, Kiefer Sutherland spoke to TV Guide about his return to 24:
“It was done for me. I went off to do a play in New York, a movie in Sweden and then got involved with Touch. But when I called [executive producer] Howard Gordon to congratulate him for winning the Golden Globe for Homeland, he said, ‘So, I have this thing that's been gnawing at me.’ I thought he had a new show in mind. I was pleasantly surprised when he brought up 24. The decision to get back into it took me about 15 minutes. Then I spent the next six months going, ‘What the hell did I take on?’...Walking away as cleanly as we did, there was a real sense of accomplishment. We always said there were things we could do better or tried to improve on, but I was as proud of 24 as anything I've ever done. So now we owe it to the franchise and our audience to maintain that extraordinary level of quality and heart-pounding drama. I remember looking at [executive producer] Jon Cassar that first day of shooting and saying, ‘Look, if you see me doing anything that doesn't remind you of Jack Bauer, you've got to tell me right away.’
The season finale of Kevin Bacon’s killer drama, The Following aired last week . Recently, Shawn Ashmore opened up about the finale.
24: Live Another Day airs tonight at 8:00 p.m. on Fox.
