24 To Get Eighth Season
Kiefer Sutherland's 24 character Jack Bauer gets to live another day!
The hit show's executive producer Howard Gordon has told E! that there will be an eighth season of the series.
"We're gearing up for a May start date," he said. "I'm with the writers now just putting our heads together, coming up with an idea. Unless we fail to come up with an idea that's satisfactory, you'll see an eighth season."
However, the producer also hinted that the eight season could be Jack Bauer's last, despite rumours of a possible post series movie.
"We may decide ultimately if there's not a movie [story] worth telling, Jack may see his last day on television," he said. "He could die in the series. I think that's possible."

Comment: This is great news although not entirely unexpected. I guess this announcement by Howard Gordon makes it official. I however, DO NOT like the idea of killing off Jack AT ALL. I hope they don't go that route. I know Jack is a "tragic character", but after all the "bad days" he's had, he deserves a happy ending. I think a movie franchise with the Jack Bauer character like the 'Bourne Identity' series would be fantastic. Hopefully, some day we'll get to see that. In the meantime, we can enjoy at least one more season of '24' and Jack!
