24 will return in 2010 for a two-night premiere with the first two episodes airing on Sunday, January 17 at 9/8c and the following two on Monday, January 18 at 8/7c before it replaces Lie to Me on Mondays at 9/8c for the rest of its run.[23] It premieres in the UK on Sky One on January 24, 2010, and in Australia on 7TWO on January 26, 2010.
Kiefer Sutherland will return for the 8th season,[24] which he revealed will begin very shortly after the events of season 7.[25] However, more recent information has described the timeline as further into the future, making Jack's granddaughter, Teri, old enough for meaningful dialogue. Cherry Jones, Mary Lynn Rajskub, and Annie Wersching are the only main cast members from season 7 who will also be returning as main cast members in season 8. Elisha Cuthbert will once again appear as a "Special Guest Star" and Bob Gunton will be back as Ethan Kanin, but this time as a recurring role and with Kanin as Secretary of State. As for Carlos Bernard's role as Tony Almeida, the show's producers have not confirmed or denied whether Bernard will appear in season 8. Additional cast members include Anil Kapoor (TV Host - Slumdog Millionaire) (as a Middle Eastern leader named Omar Hassan), Jennifer Westfeldt (Kissing Jessica Stein) and John Boyd (The Notorious Bettie Page) who were confirmed on the day production was slated to begin.[26] Westfeldt will play journalist Meredith Reed, while Boyd will play CTU systems analyst Arlo Glass.
Footage from Season 8 that aired at Comic Con was leaked onto YouTube, showing plot line introduction and the new CTU.
Set 8 months after season 7, season 8 begins and ends at 4:00 PM, unfolding in New York City amidst the shadows of the Statue of Liberty and the United Nations where CTU has been upgraded and is run by the MBA-schooled Brian Hastings (Mykelti Williamson).[27] Cole Ortiz (Freddie Prinze Jr.), a former Marine who wants to follow in Jack Bauer’s footsteps, runs the division’s Field Operations. Expert data analyst Dana Walsh (Katee Sackhoff) collaborates with systems analyst & drone pilot Arlo Glass inside CTU's New York branch. Rob Weiss serves as President Allison Taylor’s new Chief of Staff, and Meredith Reed is an ambitious journalist with ties to the unfolding situation. Jack Bauer is simply a man who wants to move on with his life and be with his daughter and granddaughter, but plans come to a halt when, once again, America needs his help.
