Once hit show 24 is going through some issues (again) that could make or break the new season. While 24 is due to air its seventh season in January of 2008, right now the actors are getting an extended vacation while the writers clean up plot holes and fix up the storylines. 24 was set to begin shooting on August 27, but has been pushed back to September 10.
This is just one of the problems the crew has had in getting things moving. The first problem came when Fox scrapped the proposed Africa storyline due to costs, forcing the writers and producers back to square one in choosing a place and a story where Jack could potentially save the day.
Add that to the fact that Jack Bauer and gang are coming off of their worst season yet and it could be cause for worry. Not only did this last season fall in ratings, but critics didn’t seem to be feeling it either. Poor Jack, he keeps having these bad days and now he has to deal with this too?
When it came to the Emmys, 24 was all but snubbed, though Kiefer Sutherland did nab a nomination for Best Actor in a Drama. With the season flop and the Emmy snub, producers must be looking to shake things up a bit. The new season is set to add some new cast members including Tony winner, Cherry Jones. As for the returning cast, the only confirmed returning stars are Kiefer Sutherland (of course) and Mary Lynn Rajskub, who plays Chloe.
Currently, not too much is being said about what the new season of 24 will bring. However, the producers have mentioned they are looking to see a crisis occur outside of Los Angeles, but it won’t be in Africa, or at least not this season.
