NEW
ACTION-PACKED EVENT SERIES “24: LIVE ANOTHER DAY”

LIVE ANOTHER DAY Marks the First “24” Production to Film Abroad
Since
2008 Telefilm “24: Redemption”
Twentieth
Century Fox Television, Imagine Television and FOX are sending the production
of 24: LIVE ANOTHER DAY across the Atlantic to London for a thrilling
international adventure, as the new tent-pole event series restarts the clock
on the groundbreaking and Emmy Award-winning drama franchise starring Kiefer
Sutherland. As previously announced, 24: LIVE ANOTHER DAY will make its
historic debut in the summer of 2014 on FOX.
“‘24’
has always had such a global sensibility,” said Sutherland, who also serves as
an executive producer on the event series. “But to be able to tell this intense
‘24’-style story with the beauty of Europe’s history and architecture as the
backdrop is going to be fascinating. Hopefully, by the time you’re finished watching
an episode, you’ll feel like you’ve been there…on the edge of your seat.”
Co-showrunner
and executive producer Evan Katz added, “We wanted the show’s return to be an
event, and part of that was putting Jack in a very different context. Four
years ago, we left Jack a fugitive from justice and we’re going to pick him up
four years later in London.”
Co-showrunner
and executive producer Manny Coto continued, “Jack is soon back on the run and
it takes us into the streets of London and in places that break new ground for
the show. We’ve shot in New York, Washington, Los Angeles and Cape Town — but
now we’re in London and Jack’s loose on the streets of Europe, hunted by and
hunting bad guys.”
Originally
premiering November 6, 2001, “24” was nominated for a total of 73 Emmy Awards,
winning for Outstanding Drama Series in 2006. Over the course of eight seasons,
and a two-hour telefilm, Sutherland garnered seven Emmy Award nominations and
one win for Outstanding Lead Actor – Drama Series. While the series gained
global recognition, Sutherland’s portrayal of the legendary character
penetrated the American psyche like no other dramatic television character to
become part of the cultural lexicon.
24:
LIVE ANOTHER DAY is a production of 20th Century Fox Television and Imagine
Television in association with Teakwood Lane Productions. Howard Gordon, Brian
Grazer and Kiefer Sutherland will executive produce, along with an additional
team to be announced. The original series, which had its last American
broadcast on May 24, 2010, was created by Joel Surnow and Robert Cochran.
