Their has been a recent flood of news on the Day 7 Prequel, which is now “24: Exile”. The President Of Fox Entertainment notes…
“it tees off the season — it’s a separate day … It’s the day of the election of the president and swearing in, It’s a self-contained two hours.”
Which would seem to suggest it will indeed not be real time, although there are conflicting reports about that still. Meanwhile Kiefer has a few thoughts …
“It sets up the conflict that starts in the prequel and is carried all the way through Season 7.”
To finish with here’s a trailer for “24: Exile” that was aired recently at a press event, although clearly it was a slightly rushed job on the voice over.

According to a New York Post online story, the new season of 24 will take place roughly four years after the events of season six. The story notes …
For those keeping score at home, that means that 17 TV years have passed since Season 1, when Bauer first took on the Eastern European bad guys bent on revenge and destruction - and he was said to be 35 years old.
Meaning Jack will be 52! give or take, although he’ll look extremely good for his age, since Kiefer is only 41. Fox it would seem are simply try to laugh it off with quotes like this …
“Luckily, like all great iconic characters, Jack Bauer is ageless.”
Sound off in the comments about what you think.
Update: As a commentor pointed out, the articles maths are out, having double checked the maths, 13 years will have actually passed since the events of Series One, making Jack a more reasonable 48 in Day Seven.

Yeah, I know, you’ve heard that before, in fact i’ve heard the ‘Best Season Yet’ tag applied to every season since the third, but this sounds promising. Cutting through the extra baggage, here are the quotes from Kiefer.
“After so many postponements, I can assure you that none of us at 24 took for granted the significance of this upcoming season,” Sutherland explained.
“But the time allowed us to do something that has never been done before - create a map of the entire season before we started shooting. So I can tell you without hesitation, I know for a fact, that Season 7 is going to be the best season yet.”
The most interesting thing in there for me is Kiefer stating that they actually mapped out an entire season before shooting started, something i’ve long suggested they should be doing, and if they have then that really starts to get me excited, as we may be in for a season which has some real thrills and spills in it, things which have thought out, not simply made up on the spot.
So here’s hoping Kiefer hasn’t been misquoted and that he meant it.

That’s been the poll question for the last two weeks. The results suggest Jack and Kiefer Sutherland is more central to the show than ever before, and that if Jack was to leave the show in th foreseeable future, that a large chunk of the existing audience would go with him. Full results follow.
Defintely 6%
Give it a Chance 31%
No 55%
Don’t Know 7%
The new poll is along the same lines, but asks if your looking forward to season 7.

For the first time in the shows history, they’ve had a panel at Comic Con, and more interesting opinions about series 6 from the writers themselves, and details about series 7 have emerged or been confirmed. Some none spoilery bits from the various coverage on the internet below, follow links for more spoilery info.
All four producers agreed that season 6 was a disappointment, a turnaround from the FOX executives who defended the quality of the latest season earlier this week at the Television Critics Association press tour … About Charles Logan, they reassured fans that unless you see someone die, they’re probably not dead … In regards to the idea of a 24 movie, the producers were rather candid. They will most likely do it after the final season, otherwise there would be a compromise and they would have to outsource either the show or the film, as they couldn’t handle both. As for the format, they said the first hour would be just like a regular movie, but that the real-time format would kick in about half-way through … The producers desperately wanted to cast Donald Sutherland as Jack’s father last season, but couldn’t get the deal to work.
