We’ve known about her contract negotiations for a month, but FOX has made it official now – Kim Raver and William Devane are both returning for 24: Live Another Day. No details on their characters but Devane is likely portraying the new President (a role that he played recently in The Dark Knight Rises). Check out the official press release below.
KIM RAVER AND WILLIAM DEVANE RETURN FOR MORE TIME ON “24: LIVE ANOTHER DAY” DEBUTING SPRING 2014 ON FOX
Kim Raver and William Devane will reunite with award-winning star Kiefer Sutherland when they reprise their respective daughter-father roles as AUDREY RAINES and JAMES HELLER on the thrilling new event series 24: LIVE ANOTHER DAY, premiering Spring 2014 on FOX.
Both joined the original “24” in Season Four (2005). Devane served as Secretary of Defense JAMES HELLER and the father to Raver’s character, AUDREY RAINES, a committed and passionate woman with a tragic past, who fell in love with JACK BAUER (Sutherland). They were both last seen in the final scenes of Season Six, when Jack said goodbye to a catatonic Audrey.
Raver and Devane’s reprisals add to the previously announced return of Mary Lynn Rajskub as CHLOE O’BRIAN, Bauer’s quirky CTU confidante. Raver, known for her roles on “Third Watch,” “The Nine” and “Lipstick Jungle,” was most recently featured on the network series “Revolution” and “Grey’s Anatomy.” Devane, best known for his villainous role on “Knots Landing,” recently played the U.S. President in the feature film “The Dark Knight Rises.”
Restarting the groundbreaking and Emmy Award-winning drama franchise, 24: LIVE ANOTHER DAY will be set in London and will follow the further exploits of Bauer, taking up his story several years after the events of “24’s” final season. Once again, viewers will join the heroic agent on a pulse-pounding ride in real time.
24: LIVE ANOTHER DAY is a production of Teakwood Lane Productions in association with 20th Century Fox Television and Imagine Television. Howard Gordon, Evan Katz, Manny Coto, David Fury, Robert Cochran, Brian Grazer, Jon Cassar and Kiefer Sutherland will executive-produce. The original series, which had its last American broadcast on May 24, 2010, was created by Joel Surnow and Cochran.

Wayne Palmer- wore a wedding ring so hes the only one
Noah Daniels- widower
Allison Taylor- divorced
James Heller?- widower
It fits with story. I mean why would they announce his character returning so early if he was simply going to be Sec of Defense. Cant wait until April 2014. President James Heller… has a good ring to it, huh?

October 5, 2013 at 12:12 pm@ moviewatcher – Remember though that Heller trusted Jack’s advice when Logan’s crew pursued him in the helicopter and faked his own death. I suspect the writers will continue his protective stance over Audrey – but I wonder if the London setting may be a way to have Heller in office in the US while daughter Audrey is living/working overseas, which allows Jack and her to somehow meet up without direct interference from Heller.
What is hard to predict is the storyline for why Chloe might be in London – assuming that having her help Jack from the US is too far a leap of credibility.
Gerry Mander
October 5, 2013 at 11:14 pmHeller will likely not be too pleased to have Jack re-enter Audrey’s life, meaning some genuine dramatic tension between the two, and hopefully some real pathos onscreen as Jack maybe gets a chance of happiness and love again! As for whether Heller will be in Washington or in London, considering the entirety of ‘Live Another Day’ is being shot in London, I’m guessing he’ll be in that city as events unfold… maybe a Presidential state visit or something…

October 13, 2013 at 1:14 pmLogan was arrested at the end of S5. The Secret Service agents take him away. It is implied that he resigned (the public never found out about his actions so he wasn’t impeached). He broked a “closed door deal” and put under house arrest. His resignation probably came in the weeks following Day 5.
The 24 wikia says Wayne Palmer died after Season 6 based on an article that appears somewhere. Like Keeler, it is unlikely that he would return temporarily. That’s just not how politics works.

October 20, 2013 at 2:41 amI know a lot of ’24’ fans weren’t that fond of the Steven Saunders character in S3 but I thought the actor who played him and the similar special forces/MI6 background he had was an interesting counterpoint to Jack’s background. I would suspect the writers maybe have a similar character from England’s Secret Service/government training programs in mind to either team with – or run opposition to – Jack.

October 20, 2013 at 6:47 pmSeason 4 remains my favorite season overall (although Season 5 is the best one), it’s the peak of the Joel Surnow-as-showrunner years, and it showed just how good they had gotten over four pulse-pounding years… it matters not a jot that it’s utterly ludicrous because it’s just so damn GOOD!!!
moviewatcher
October 20, 2013 at 7:30 pmI’m beginning to rewatch the whole of 24 ahead of the May 2014 premiere and I’m through with the first 13 episodes (i.e. the episodes that run up to Jack’s first rescue of Kim & Teri). And I must say those first 8 episodes that climax at the first assassination attempt on Palmer are truly amazing television. For now at least, 24 is still a suspenseful show and very much based around characters.
Now that I think back on the series, I think of how memorable seasons 1, 2, 4, 5 and long stretches of 3 (second half), 6 (4 episode premiere, then the 8 final episodes I thought were pretty damn good, and climaxed in one of the finest finales 24 ever produced), 7 (the Jack/Tony/Bill/Chloe episodes; the starkwood episodes; the White House attack) and 8 (the final 8) were.

October 26, 2013 at 2:33 pmTony Almeida- will not return, he probably wont fit into the storyline well unless he is also a fugitive on the run like Jack. I dont see that happening but it would be interesting to see Tony redeem himself. 50 percent chance of returning
Kim Bauer- will probably make a few appearances as a guest star. I predict terrorists will use her to find Jack. 80 percent chance
Allison Taylor- if the whole series is set in London, I really dont see her coming back. 5 percent chance
Mandy- hasnt been on the show in forever, I dont know why everyone wants her. But she does have international affiliations so I think she could come back. But with only 12 episodes I wouldnt count on her coming back especially since new fans wont know who the hell she is. 5 percent chance
Chase Edmunds- lost his hand, and probably retired and became out of shape after Season 3. Also, he could already be dead considering the bomb blast in Season 6. 1 percent chance
Cole Ortiz- his storyline wrapped up pretty well in Season 8. I dont think we will see him in LAD. 1 percent chance
Morris O’Brian- with Chloe returning, he will almost definitely return or at the very least be mentioned. 65 percent chance
Charles Logan- could return as brain-dead person in a wheelchair kinda like Stephen Hawking (appearance-wise, not saying Hawking is brain dead) 5 percent chance
David Palmer- I think they could bring him back from the dead like they did to Tony…just kidding =)

Arlo Glass – Cloe’s successor/mentoree
Brian Hastings – got screwed over by higher ups
Mike Novick – pure political animal as there ever was
I would not rule out:
Allison Taylor – as an informal advisor to the new prez
Cole Ortiz – kind of a successor to Tony’s role.
I know that supposedly LAD will not have CTU – but come on, 24 would not be 24 without some sort of high-tech surveillance capability to support Jack
Gerry Mander
October 26, 2013 at 11:21 pm24marathonman, how do you know that very same “high-tech surveillance capability” is there to support Jack, if he’s still on the lam, it may be trying to track him down to slap the cuffs on…

October 27, 2013 at 8:23 amQuestion: I just finished watching season 8 again looking closely at the ending for things that might be relevant to 24:LAD. What happened to the incriminating recording Jack made of Logan via the bug he planted on his shirt collar? The recording retrieved by Pillar and given to Taylor was Jack’s “good bye” message not the incriminating recording. If this is so, then the recording is still out there and very damaging to the Russians.

October 27, 2013 at 7:58 pmAt this point, we have no idea what the British cast of ‘Live Another Day’ will be, but I’m sure there’ll be some great talent announced in due time, why are you so quick to disparage the efforts of the ’24’ production team before you even know what they have up their sleeve?
And we know that Jack, Chloe, Audrey, and James Heller – and possibly Morris – will all feature in ‘Live Another Day’ but the rest of the cast will likely be British and/or other ethnicities… doesn’t sound like “a bunch of Americans invading London” to me, get a hold of yourself dude!
If David Fury’s Twitter comments on the threat in ‘Live Another Day’ being of a “smaller scale and more personal” nature, I doubt it will be some enormous international crisis to solve in twelve episodes… I’m cool with whatever they come up with, James Bond has done pretty well staying interesting over the years, and I have faith ’24’ will do likewise (they have so far)!
Ozgur
October 28, 2013 at 2:00 amAnd, if you have the right to have faith LAD will be great based on current news, I have as much as right to have faith it will be average to terrible with the same news. So, please spare me your hypocrisy, it is getting really grating.

October 28, 2013 at 10:37 amBtw, GERRY MANDER, I’ve been meaning to ask you this for a long time, why do you always say “dude” after writing someone’s name?
Gerry Mander
October 28, 2013 at 7:49 pmOzgur my friend and worthy opponent, the ’24’ writers have stated they crack the story premise first and then figure out which characters fit that premise second, so if Chloe, Audrey, and Heller are returning, I can only presume they fit the story being told. I’m sorry if you think I’m being hypocritical in any way – although I sincerely fail to see how I am – but I just feel it’s better to wait until you see all entire twelve episodes of the upcoming new series played out before you pass judgement on it, it’s not a matter of faith, it’s a matter of fairness to those who work very hard to bring ’24’ to the screen, that’s all…
24bauerfan
October 28, 2013 at 8:14 pmI’ll wait until the first trailer (which should come at around super-bowl time) to make my first judgement on this series revival. One thing that will bother me is if they make it too Bourne-ish or Bond-ish looking. I look at the early seasons and I see a gritty, suspenseful thriller show, not a big actiony high tech people-shouting at screens show.
TJ
October 29, 2013 at 3:25 amI suspect the bulk of any returning players beyond him will be political characters rather than former CTU peers / employees – people like Tim Woods, Ethan Kanin, Tom Lennox and Suvarov. They probably won’t be major roles or have big storylines devoted to them IMO.
I also wonder if some of the loose ends that never got tied up (i.e. the conspiracy thread at end of S7) factor into the plots.

October 30, 2013 at 7:34 pmI’m not ruling anything out with ‘Live Another Day’ as they have no definite continuation locked in after this one is concluded, even with Season 8 there was the very real possibility of the feature film to follow, but ‘Live Another Day’ is a close-ended (as far as we know) storyline with a definite beginning, middle, and end… so all bets are off on this one, as far as I’m concerned!
Jon Cassar mentioned he was excited to return to ’24’ and mentioned “closure” in his press release… did he accidently let slip something there, or am I just reading too much into it?
24marathonman
October 31, 2013 at 9:26 am24bauerfan
October 31, 2013 at 12:50 pma) Kiefer is 46 years old, the series can’t go on for as many years as you want. That’s one of the reasons why they continuously recast James Bond (which you can’t do with Jack Bauer)
b) We don’t WANT the series to go on for that long. Everyone agrees the show was never the same after season 5. Some people hate everything 24 offered after that. I loved a lot of arcs and stretches of episodes but I agree the show never regained its former glory. Season 8 especially was a disaster apart from those last 8 episodes and a few here and there between 11 and 17. But if they kick LAD out of the park, 24 should end there. A great series deserves to end on a high note. And the longer a series goes on, the bigger the chances are of it completely running out of gas. I mean, I wonder if “24” had ended in Season 5, with that amazing finale and that cliffhanger leaving us to question what had happened afterwards, if it would not be listed with names like The Wire, Breaking Bad and The Sopranos as the best TV series ever made. It’s been relegated to the second tier with other admittedly great shows, but I do wonder…
DRod
October 31, 2013 at 4:13 pmNow season 6 of course was bad. But I enjoyed season 7. The writers really could have closed it out there. Tony made his return and we know what happened to him. I think this was the chance to kill of Jack Bauer. Have Kim at his beside crying as he passed away. Instead of saving him. Then 24 would be right next to The Wire (which I still have to watch) breaking bad and so on.
I really hope LAD does great and maybe finish it off. Maybe one more after that.
24bauerfan
October 31, 2013 at 5:52 pmGoddamnit season 8…
Gerry Mander
October 31, 2013 at 7:45 pmI’ve said before that the problem with Season 6 was they didn’t map out the broad strokes of the season outline in advance, and got into all sorts of trouble as a result… the superb Season 7 proved what happens when they have the time to map out story arcs in advance, or at least the latter sixteen episodes in that instance! I’m going to go on record and publicly defend Season 8, which I thought was a largely damn fine season overall that had a couple of minor wrinkles and flaws but otherwise was an effective and totally worthy end to the series that went out with it’s head held high and reputation firmly intact… I have no problem ’24’ went on as long as it did, it ended both how and when it should, in my humble opinion!
But I completely agree with the sentiment from 24bauerfan that if they hit it out of the park with ‘Live Another Day’ it would be an appropriate time to end the series as a whole… to close the book by choice, on their own terms, and with Jack having sacrificed everything else in his life for his country (which in turn rejected him), and seemingly unable to get away from his former life no matter how hard he tries, the only thing he has left to sacrifice is himself in the ultimate selfless act that puts a very definite and final full stop to the ’24’ saga!
“It is a far better thing that I do than I have ever done… it is a far better rest that I go to than I have ever known”… what better way to end the greatest series of the last decade, get the hankies out!?
24marathonman
October 31, 2013 at 11:18 pm24 was always great at transitioning existing characters out while introducing new characters. A perfect example was season 4: Tony, Michelle and David Palmer transitioned off while Logan, Edgar, Audrey, and Buchannon came in. 24 could go on for decades like Star Trek did as a franchise reinventing itself with new characters but keeping the same theme.

November 1, 2013 at 12:29 amThat is the most cliched idea that’s been explored in such films as Rocky, The Hustler, Karate Kid and goddamit it almost never works.
24 has got to end. And it’s already shown signs of old age, even though it’s still capable of churning out great episodes of Television. All we are saying is that IF LAD is a success. A great 12-episode long series of television, it would be the perfect time to end it.
Too many series have overstayed their welcome. With LAD they could prove all the naysayers wrong and come out on a high note.

November 2, 2013 at 2:06 pmI just hope they get the british angle right, it is soo frustrating when American dramas get it completely wrong.
How about Mossad agents bomb the underground (dressed up as Al Qaeda terrorists), Kim and her husband dies and Jack’s grand daughter gets taken hostage to force Jack to kidnap a valuable palestinian expat hiding with the secret service in London, protected by MI5 agents. Jack needs to battle MI5 agents Jason Bourne style and then take out Mossad too. US is pro-Israeli so it is not in their best interests if Jack threatens their closest ally and that’s how US President gets involved, need to keep Mossad’s involvement secretive. Chloe’s husband is british anyway so it wouldn’t be hard to figure out a way for her to be in the UK too i.e. a more peaceful life for the children, husband easily has a job, she could be working in the US embassy’s secret service division in London in a high profile role. The embassy can easily serve as a new base of operations for a visiting US president, it is freaking palatial in London!

November 4, 2013 at 3:30 pmIn the past few months, I’ve been watching The Wire, House of Cards, and Games of Thrones. They are all well written shows but I’m not that thrilled with them because they are missing that ’24’ factor. When a ’24’ episode would end, I couldn’t wait to see the next episode. Every episode ended with a suspenseful cliff-hanger. It’s so rare to find a great show like that. The month of May can’t come soon enough.

November 10, 2013 at 11:57 amRE: Richard Heller – Anyone who caught Logan-Marshall Green’s acting during the short-lived TNT series, “Dark Blue”, would be even more amazed at how diverse his skills were to play the Heller character and the one he played as an undercover cop.
RE: Whether Jack should be killed off as the series ending – I’m 100% in agreement with most who feel the series can’t continue with another actor playing the Jack role (just like no one could replace Gandolfini as Tony Soprano, Damon as Jason Bourne or Falk as Columbo). Kiefer branded the character as his alone. That said, it’s hard to figure whether Kiefer will take the stance that Roger Moore did with the Bond character (acknowledging that at 50+ years old, it’s unrealistic to play an action hero) or will try to extend the role as long as the studios are willing to pay him (a la what Willis, Stallone, Schwarzenegger have done). I’d hate to see this upcoming season be nothing but a last-ditch swan song and end up being anti-climactic as a “welcome back, now goodbye” ploy. Then again, Kiefer showed his aging on “Touch” IMO and I don’t think he’ll be able to parlay Jack realistically into another 4-5 years at most. And using Jack as a mentor, removed from the action, is not a path I want to see ’24’ take.
RE: Plotlines – I agree that using an assassination attempt as the theme wouldn’t be too original but if one looks at the entire 8 year run, they essentially got double (or triple) duty out of 3 main threat scenarios: assassinations (S1, S8); nuclear (S2, S4, S6, S8); or biological (S3,S5,S7). I still maintain that some kind of cyber-terrorism angle would be not only refreshing for this series but appropriate with today’s technological world. The “Die Hard 3” movie used it very effectively and originally, without any loss of action or danger.

As for Chloe, one would initially think that Jack will seek her out for help (either to rescue someone like Audrey or to rescue her). But what if Chloe is outcast from US government (with CTU being shut down in scandal surrounding Taylor, a plausible scenario) and is just as much a hero without a country? Maybe she seeks Jack out to help her & Morris….

November 16, 2013 at 4:43 pmIt is likely to return considering it gets tremendous ratings like usual. But it could also be a one-time thing, so we’ll see. I really do think that the ratings will dictate that. I’ve thought of every single season of 24 as the last, so I shouldn’t be daft and presume this is the last. So I’ll say definitely not the last season/series.

December 20, 2013 at 2:22 amI would really love to see Bill Buchanan back, he was a really good character and a really close friend of Jack’s. I found his death scene in S7 very sad. Another character I want to see would be Karen Hayes,his wife,cuz as far as I know, we never really found out what happened to her after season 6. I also liked Tom Lennox and would like to see him again.
Chase Edmunds was a really awesome agent, and things didn’t end well with him and Kim, so it would be interesting if he came back somehow…….
Of course David Palmer back from the dead would be unbelievably cool, he was the best US president (no doubt abt that) but I guess that’s not gonna happen.
