Jack will be back for at least two more days from hell after 24 was renewed through the 2008-09 season.
Producers have promised that the upcoming seventh season will mark a change in direction for the show, following a season widely criticised by its fanbase for being uninspired.
"We're re-creating the series," exec producer Howard Gordon told The Hollywood Reporter. "It is [still] going to be a real-time thriller. Beyond that, it's an open book."
Besides Kiefer Sutherland, who is contracted until the end of season 8 in May 2009, season 7 will see an entirely new cast. Some existing cast members may return, the publication says, "but in different roles". The show will also be based out of a new, non-LA location.
Season six wraps in the US with a two hour finale next Monday, May 21.
A few photos I took yesterday of THE SPIKE OF DOOM!!!
I'm not saying that I am climbing down from my position already stated about this spire at St Anne's Cathedral, Belfast. No matter what way you look at this spike it is simply NOT architecturally sympathetic to the beautiful building that was St Anne's and I hate it. The Dean and board should cast their ham-fisted minds back to when this building was built and ask - Is this spire the one the original architect had in mind? If not is this not vandalism?
But in the spirit of trying to get my head round the thing, Smithy and I took some nice photos of it yesterday. I want to demonstrate to myself that my negativity is not due to the fact that I grew up at St Anne's and therefore I am resistant to change or I am a traditionalist. I will remain as open to it as I can and try not to be too depressed. Also I will be interested to see what the lit up version looks like as people tell me that this is the whole point of it...
