At a Comic-Con presentation, Kiefer Sutherland, who plays super agent Jack Bauer, said the plot is not unrealistic.
"This season is more grounded in what possibly could happen. There's a sense of reality that almost brings it back to Season 1," said Sutherland, who added that serious planning on a 24 film wouldn't start until the series approaches its end.
The peace conference is a noble goal, Sutherland said, but "when opportunities present themselves, there are also threats."
That threat would be a possible assassination attempt against the Iranian president, which of course draws a "retired" Jack Bauer in.
A short clip revealed that CTU (Counter Terrorist Unit) back after having been disbanded and it's a much glitzier place, all chrome and glass and cool lights.
When we last left Jack, he was on the verge of dying from an airborne toxin, his only chance at survival reviving the help of his daughter Kim.
"He did make it through. You'll see a little later how," executive producer Howard Gordon said.
Whatever happened worked well, because Jack will show a new feeling: happiness, largely due to being with his daughter and granddaughter, executive producer Manny Coto said.
Besides Kapoor, Freddie Prinze Jr. joins the cast as CTU agent and ex-Marine Cole Ortiz and Katee Sackhoff plays his fiancee, Dana Walsh, a CTU data analyst. Mary Lynn Rajskub is back as cranky, brilliant Chloe, although she's a bit behind the learning curve because she's been away taking care of her son. After a few episodes, Sackhoff, a veteran of Battlestar Galactica battles, said she told the writers she needed a gun. "I was starting to feel naked," she said.
The clip showed an injured man telling Jack of a possible assassination plot and Prinze, Sackhoff and Rajskub in the dark and shiny CTU.
After the clip, Sutherland offered solace to any worried fans. "Don’t be alarmed. We do still blow (stuff) up." -- Bill Keveney
