Sutherland returned as Bauer in Fox’s event series 24: Live Another Day in 2014 following 24’s initial eight-season run which ended in 2010.
Despite spin-off 24: Legacy featuring an all-new cast led by Straight Outta Compton actor Corey Hawkins, executive producer Howard Gordon seems hopeful that Kiefer Sutherland can return to the role he played across nine seasons.
If you believe the idea of a 24 series minus the show’s protagonist Jack Bauer to be criminal, don’t lose all hope just yet.
24: Legacy will premiere in the States 5 February 2017 with Sky 1 yet to announce an airdate.
