24: Live Another Day is a 24 limited event television series that premiered on May 5, 2014, on Fox.[1] Set four years after the events of season 8, it loosely adheres to the real time concept: while it still covers the events of a 24 hour period, with each episode corresponding to an hour, there are jumps forward in time between certain episodes.

Premise

Four years after the events of the eighth season, Jack Bauer remains a federal fugitive. Assisted by Chloe O'Brian, he has relocated to London. The CIA locates him while investigating a threat against President James Heller ahead of a visit to the city and forcibly recruits Bauer to join the investigation, promising amnesty in return for his co-operation. Bauer soon realizes that the complexity of the plot extends beyond a presidential assassination, and that the consequences of a successful attack will alter the course of history and push the world to the brink of war.[2][3]

Development and production

In May 2013, Deadline.com first reported that Fox was considering a limited-run "event series" for 24 based on a concept by Howard Gordon, after failed efforts to produce the 24 feature film and the cancellation of Kiefer Sutherland's series Touch. David Fury confirmed on Twitter that he would also be involved, pulling "double duty" with Gordon's new series Tyrant.[4] The following week, Fox officially announced 24: Live Another Day, a limited-run series of twelve episodes that would feature the return of Jack Bauer. Fox CEO Kevin Reilly said that the series would essentially represent the twelve "most important" hours of a typical 24 season, with jumps forward between hours as needed. As with the rest of Fox's push into event programming, the production will have "a big scope and top talent and top marketing budgets."[5]

In the press release, Gordon said:[5]

Jack Bauer has always been an exciting, thrilling character, and I confess that I've missed him. I think the audience has too. The character has evolved through the years, and this new and exciting event series format is perfect to tell the next chapter of his story and continue to reflect how the world is changing. Fans can rest assured that the Jack they know and love will be back.

Kiefer Sutherland, who was confirmed to executive produce and star in the new series, added:[5]

The response to 24 is unlike anything I have ever experienced as an actor before. To have the chance to reunite with the character, Jack Bauer, is like finding a lost friend. The story ideas from Howard Gordon are exciting and fresh, and will not disappoint. Great thanks to 20th Century Fox Television, Imagine Television and the FOX network for this opportunity. Make no mistake, my goal is to knock your socks off. See you soon.

In June 2013, it was announced that former 24 director Jon Cassar was signed on as executive producer and director of Live Another Day,[6] directing six of the twelve episodes.[7] The other directors for Live Another Day are former 24 director and producer Milan Cheylov, and new 24 directors, Adam Kane and Omar Madha, directing the remaining six episodes.[8][9][10] Executive producers and writers Robert Cochran, Manny Coto and Evan Katz also return.[11] Gordon, Katz, and Coto serve as co-showrunners.[12] Sean Callery returns as the music composer for the series.[13] The writing process began on July 1, 2013, with David Fury pitching the first episode, which was tentatively titled "6:30-7:30".[14] On July 11, 2013, executive producer Brian Grazer announced in an interview that the 24 miniseries would "be a limited series that would then spin off into a series itself. Fox is doing it, Fox studio and Fox network, and we're totally thrilled by that."[15] In October 2013, it was confirmed the series would be set and filmed in London, England, United Kingdom.[16] Pre-production and location scouting by the crew, including Jon Cassar, began in November 2013.[17] The production offices for Live Another Day were based in the Gillette Building in west London, previously used for films such as Red 2.[18] Production began on January 6, 2014.[19]

Promotional videos

Filming of a promotional video was shot on January 22, 2014, with filming beginning for the series on January 26.[20][21] The first teaser for the show aired on Sky1 on January 22, 2014, but did not show any new footage.[22] The first American trailer, titled "Street Chaos", followed four 10-second teasers during Super Bowl XLVIII on February 2, 2014. The footage shows Jack Bauer helping Chloe O'Brian escape recent carnage in London and firing a gun while screaming at someone offscreen.[23] The first promotional image from the series was published in #1300 of Entertainment Weekly on February 20, 2014.[24] In March, another promo with actual footage was released, showing the President of the United States arriving in London; Bauer being spotted there on camera by the CIA; and him telling Chloe that, if an assassination attempt is made on the President, World War III might be launched, so "there's no going home" for him.[25] On April 7, a 20 minute preview of Live Another Day was released by Fox,[26] and the special aired on television on May 3 on Fox.[27]
