A 24 movie is the works at 20th Century Studios, Variety has learned.
At this early stage, there are no plot details available and no word yet on if series star Kiefer Sutherland will return for the film. The trade tried reaching out to the studio for comment.
The show followed US counter-terrorist federal agent Jack Bauer. Each season covers 24 consecutive hours in Bauer’s life using the real-time method of narration, which is emphasized by the display of split screens and a digital clock. The show premiered on November 6, 2001, and spanned 204 episodes over nine seasons, with the series finale broadcast on July 14, 2014.
A televised movie, 24: Redemption aired between seasons six and seven, on November 23, 2008. A spin-off series, 24: Legacy, premiered on February 5, 2017, lasting a single 12-episode season. 24 is the longest-running U.S. espionage- or counterterrorism-themed television drama, surpassing both Mission: Impossible and the UK’s The Avengers.
24 was a joint production by Imagine Television and 20th Century Fox Television, and Disney gained the rights when the Fox merger went through.
