[edit] Plot
The story arc will involve Jack Bauer contending with assassination threats made during a peace conference between President Allison Taylor of the United States and President Omar Hassan of the fictional Islamic Republic of Kamistan.[2][3]
The series will relocate to New York and see the re-activation of CTU's New York Office,[4] but owing to budget constraints, there will not be any on-location filming in New York City.[5]
The plotline will begin and end at 4:00 P.M. [6]
It has been revealed that Gregory Itzin will reprise his role as Former President Charles Logan near the end of the season.[7]
[edit] Crew
The eighth season will be produced by 20th Century Fox Television and Imagine Television. A recent interview with Kiefer Sutherland confirmed that Season 8 will take place within very close proximity to the closing events of Season 7. According to Kiefer Sutherland, this season is likely to be the last unless the writers come up with a good idea for a ninth season and the fans are eager to see more. Sutherland stated "there's only so much you can do to Jack (Bauer) before you lose realism. I think a movie would be a good way to end this story."
Producers and writers Howard Gordon, Evan Katz, David Fury, Manny Coto, Brannon Braga, Brad Turner, Alex Gansa, Brian Grazer, Chip Johannessen and Patrick Harbinson are all signed for the eighth season.
Also among the executive production staff is show star Kiefer Sutherland.[8]
