"24" Spin-off at Fox Would Revolve Around a New Male Character

Jack Bauer is passing the stopwatch.

Fox is developing a "24" spin-off that would revolve around a new twenty-something male terrorist hunter, but the intention would be for Kiefer Sutherland‘s Jack to weave in and out as a guest star, franchise overlord Howard Gordon confirmed to TVLine Sunday at the Critics Choice Television Awards.



The project would find the new male antihero working alongside an older, more seasoned female agent (not Yvonne Strahovski’s Kate Morgan, although she also may appear).

It would also launch as a limited series, similar to last year’s acclaimed "24: Live Another Day", but I’m told the offshoot could easily become a long-term property for Fox.



Last month, Gordon told Yahoo TV that the spin-off would maintain the “real-time concept” and that the story “is in the tradition of 24.”

"24: Live Another Day" vets Manny Coto and Evan Katz will serve as writers and EPs.
