Action thriller 24 is heading back to TV.
The show’s creators, Joel Surnow and Bob Cochran, are developing a fresh take on the real-time drama, which initially starred Kiefer Sutherland and counter-terrorism expert Jack Bauer, with some insiders at 20th Century Fox suggesting the new series could be led by a woman.
The concept show last appeared on TV in 2016 and 2107, when Corey Hawkins led the cast of 24: Legacy.
Confirming the news on Monday, Fox chairman Dana Walden said, “We are very excited about where the show would go.”
There could be a role for Sutherland in the new version – his most recent TV series, Designated Survivor, was cancelled last week.
During the Fox upfronts press conference, another Fox chairman, Gary Newman, confirmed the most recent run of The X-Files would be the sci-fi show’s last following star Gillian Anderson’s decision not to return to TV as Agent Dana Scully.
“It’s been a great show for the network but there are no plans to do another season at the moment,” Newman said.
