Jack Bauer’s nightmare day will become even worst judging by this exciting new trailer promoting season seven of the hit ‘real-time’ drama that is 24.
The new season will be set several months after season 6 with season 7 beginning and ending at 7:00 AM. The new series will be broadcast in America early next year followed soon on Sky One here in the UK.
Kiefer Sutherland, the Emmy award-winning actor, will play the role as Jack Bauer but this new season promises to be a more personal story than the previous six seasons of the show.
The initial back-story will feature Jack on trial for his actions in the pursuit of justice. Meanwhile a major national security breach occurs when the firewall responsible for protecting America’s government computer infrastructure is breached.
For the first time in 24 history, a female president will be featured as opposed to the Palmer brothers. Cherry Jones will play President Allison Taylor. But the most surprising character to return to the show is Tony Almeida (yes, that’s right he is not dead)! Carlos Bernard will reprise his role as this season’s main antagonist.
In addition, this will be the first season that Jack Bauer is not working for CTU.
In the trailer Jack is appearing before Congress concerning his past extralegal activities, particularly the torture of Ibrahim Haddad. Haddad was a terrorist who targeted a bus carrying 45 people, 10 of which were children. Jack therefore stopped that attack from happening.
It is revealed that the season’s crisis involves a breach of the “CIP firewall” that protects every major infrastructure system, leaving telecommunications, transportation, and power grids vulnerable (though this reminds me to the plot of Bruce Willis’s all-action movie that is Die Hard 4.0).
Shockingly, Tony Almeida is part of this national crisis and we will see a new side to him, playing a villain!
Even the FBI is seeking assistance to the man who doesn’t go to sleep or take comfort breaks! Can Jack Bauer save the world again? Find out next year when 24 season seven returns to the small screen.

Update: Due to the ongoing Writers Guild of America strike, Fox has just decided to postpone the previously scheduled January 13 premiere of 24’s seventh season to ensure that when 24 does return, Day 7 can air uninterrupted, in it’s entirety. At present, only about one-third of the 24 episodes have been filmed.
Ahaaaa : ) … Now that’s a smart idea : )
Doing what everyone, fans and anti somehow indeed does now and then :
Juging the Bauer dude .
Really nice move. Even I wonder what all the protagonists will say (if he let them the time to speak before he kill them all obviously ^^ )
Okay, that’s a bright idea : )
And Oh wait : What do I read with that ?
Tony Almeida is back !
Finally !AAah they knew the serie wouldn’t survive without the Tony.
…I fear it’s only to kill him a second time tho ^^
But … But !!! What…What did you write ?
Tony will be a villain ?!
Kidding me or what ?
No way !
Indeed they will kill him manage to twice , and
distroy his reputation with that !
You know what : the Bauer dud was too jealous he couldn’t beat him in our hearts. O_O
Thanks for this info, Mr leaf.
Even if a part of me still hope it’s a joke ^_^
Tony. A Villain. I mean, are you serious. tsk tsk !
Sounds very Die Hard 4.0
Not sure how they’ll write Tony back in, cant see how that can be done without it being stupid. However, having gone through what he has done, I can see him playing his villain role perfectly.
But a woman president?! Well we’ll see how that goes.
But I have to say, this next series is looking very promising. It’s good to see them changing the format a little with CTU going and all. The first thing that struck me about the trailer, it does have a movie feel to it. It seems the budget has gone up too.
So going off trailer, this seems a great new season. But everyone was saying that about the last one, and that turned out to be not exactly the best.
Either way, I’ve got a long way to go to see it, as I just cant watch it on TV. As Walking knows, I just cannot watch one episode a week. It kills me. So from the very 1st series I have always watched them on DVD and as many episodes in one go as I can. ( record being watching series 3 in just two sittings !!)
hopefully they bring Tony back as a flashback, or indeed it would look cheap ^^
And an other thing that sucks is that’s they don’t look like they wanna give us a lot of great news from the Kim-Elisha sweetheart ? ; )
Well when it come to Kim, if she is in it, she’ll only do something stupid and get kidnapped lol., dump her dad right in it, as usual.
It trailer does make the show very promising though, but then that’s the point.
Not that it’s essential, but I dread the storyline of Tony being brought back to life. As I said, I think he’ll make for a great villain, I really do, but the decision to effectively bring him back to life is still very much a 24 thing to do. The last couple of series has just relied on double crosses to make anything possible, and for it’s getting very predictable and boring. Everyone you see, you end up thinking how they could be an insider for the baddies. The first 2 or 3 seasons it was fine. Nina Myers was excellent and you genuinely weren’t expecting it. No it’s a case of meh, seen it all before.
So I hope they do a decent job of keeping all this back stabbing to a minimum, best yet not at all.
Trepidation or not, I cant wait, only I’ll have to till October next year for the dvd!!
Oh and one last thing, it looks like we may not have a nuke going off in this series. Oh the joy. thank cluck for that!
