Bad News for Hostiles

As broken on SCZA Nation, Kiefer Sutherland has agreed to three more seasons as Jack Bauer on ‘24’ . While FOX has only one more season on its contract to do the show, it is all but a guarantee they will renew the show for the rest of Sutherland’s contract. The show is highly rated with a loyal fanbase and this season has gotten critical acclaim despite being firmly in the middle between its best seasons (last season and season one) and its down seasons (Seasons 2 and 3, with 2 being panned by most other loyal viewers).

In addition 24:The Movie is tentatively scheduled to start filming in summer of 2007 for a Summer 2008 release.

Whether the show can keep its “freshness” through three more seasons with only so many Anti-American causes and so many means of mass destruction to scare us will be a challenge to the writers and Sutherland the show’s newest Executive Producer.

But this does mean the next time Jack risks his life in the line of fire of armed hostiles, we need not worry. He should be just fine.
