Fox has scheduled a two-hour 24 telefilm to serve as a prequel to the Emmy-winning drama's long-delayed seventh season.
The 24 special will air Nov. 23 from 8 to 10 p.m. The extended episode will take place just a few months before the events of season seven, which will premiere in January.
Fans of 24 have been without their real-time action fix since May 2007. Due to creative overhauls on the season seven plotline, production got off to a late start last summer and the writers strike hit only eight episodes into the new season. Rather than jeopardize the traditional uninterrupted 24 broadcast schedule, Fox opted to delay the entire season.
When the prequel special begins, Kiefer Sutherland's Jack Bauer is in South Africa handling an international crisis. Back at home, the newly elected president (series newcomer Cherry Jones) is preparing for her inauguration day. That second part is bound to be more exciting than it sounds.
''We're excited about the prequel because it explores Jack's complex emotional state of mind and still has all the signature excitement and suspense that fans have come to expect from 24,'' says executive producer Howard Gordon in a statement.
Devoted 24 fans know that an Africa-set adventure was one of the initially discarded plotlines for Day 7. The actual season seven plot will move the action from Los Angeles to Washington and will force Bauer to operate without his familiar CTU backdrop.
Little is known except that a national security crisis brings together new cast members Colm Feore, Janeane Garofalo, Annie Wersching, Jeffrey Nordling, Rhys Coiro and John Billingsley, as well as returning favorites Mary Lynn Rajskub and James Morrison.
Also returning, under intriguing circumstances, is Carlos Bernard's Tony Almeida.
