About 24, Season 8....

One of the most innovative and acclaimed dramas on television, 24 returns for a remarkable eighth season in January 2010. The suspenseful series has been nominated for a total of 68 Emmy awards, winning for Outstanding Drama Series in 2006. Over the course of seven seasons, Sutherland has garnered seven Emmy nominations and one win for Outstanding Lead Actor; while Season Seven co-star Cherry Jones earned an Emmy nomination for her highly praised work as PRESIDENT ALLISON TAYLOR.

Season Eight of 24 promises to combine the show's unique and trend-setting format with compelling new elements, including a new setting, new threats and new cast members. Each episode will again cover one hour of real time as viewers follow JACK BAUER (Sutherland) through another astonishing day.

Set in New York City, "Day Eight" unfolds amidst the shadows of the Statue of Liberty and the United Nations as President Allison Taylor (Jones), alongside new chief of staff ROB WEISS (Chris Diamantopoulos), negotiates international security with OMAR HASSAN (Anil Kapoor), a determined Middle Eastern leader visiting the U.S. on a peacemaking mission. As the new day begins, an upgraded CTU operates under the command of M.B.A.-schooled, razor-sharp head honcho BRIAN HASTINGS (Mykelti Williamson), who supervises quirky CHLOE O'BRIAN (Mary Lynn Rajskub), expert data analyst DANA WALSH (Katee Sackhoff) and systems analyst ARLO GLASS (John Boyd).

COLE ORTIZ (Freddie Prinze Jr.), an ex-Marine who wants to follow in Bauer's footsteps, leads field operations while Agent RENEE WALKER (Annie Wersching) returns with an agenda of her own.


I am excited about Freddie Prinze Jr. joining the cast!

Very interesting... normally Fox ends its broadcast day at 10PM. This is a very rare instance where they're broadcasting until 11PM!

I have been looking forward to 24 for waaaaaaaaaaaay too long. I need me some Jack Bauer!!!

Love this show!!!!!!!!!! Can't wait to see who they bring back (and kill off). characters on this show constantly leave and come back....you just never know!

I'll be watching, but I'm really hoping they can make a good story without repeating the same elements over and over.

I predict:
There will be a leak.
CTU will either be invaded or hacked into.
Higher authority figures will not listen to Jack, even though he's always right and has saved the world at least 7 times.
The words "Damn It" will be uttered at least 3 times per episode.

Does anyone know how much time has supposed to elapsed from the end of last season to the start of this season??

How did you ever come up with these predictions? I predict that your predictions come to pass 100%!

I love 24, hoping for more Jack than in last season~!

I haven't seen anything official, but it's generally at least a year and a half.

I can't wait! but two things would make me very happy about 24. If i never see lip licking Audrey again, or that awful janine garofolo!

 

[momrek06]

We are also waiting the return. I wish it were on a different time because I watch other shows at the same time and don't have DVR.

I also can't wait for Freddie Prinze Jr.
