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 four 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.

Yes definitely Aaron! We were robbed of him the last season.
ReplyDeleteThis likely means we will get president Heller. There had been speculation of heller being new president already. This makes it more likely.
ReplyDeleteI hope they will take into serious account how badly things ended between Audrey/Heller and Jack.
ReplyDeleteAnd given that it's likely Heller is the President (writer David Fury said the President would be a returning character), I hope they also remember Jack saved Heller's life (at the compound where he was to be executed in episode 4.06). Even if their relationship worsened in season 6, it's rare since the show's first POTUS (David Palmer) when the President and Jack have such a deep bond. I hope they use it well.
Speaking of bond, with the London setting and this "Live Another Day" subtitle, it could make Jack Bauer sound like James Bond. I hope they use the UK setting to have British/European bad guys, and above all connect LAD to the previous seasons and make it personal (e.g: Stephen Saunders in season 3 was a fantastic villain to go against Jack).
wooooooooooohoooooooo
ReplyDeleteThe first scene between Jack and Heller will be interesting given who they left things in S6! While that season wasn't the best the show had to offer that final scene between Jack and Heller was one of the best of said season, such great emotion and performances by both Kiefer Sutherland and William Devane.
ReplyDeleteHeller is likely to owned Jack a debt so maybe if he is the wanted he will give Jack pardon
ReplyDeleteAs long as Kiefer and Mary Lynn are there, then that's fine with me.

People should want Renee back because she never should have died. The writers were incredibly stupid to do that.
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy for Kim to be back on the show, I loved Audrey in season 5, she was my favorite, I was pissed to see her go like that in season 6, so I'm really happy they brought her back (and her dad as well)
ReplyDeleteThis is fantastic news. I love these two actors' characters. However, unless every episode is two hours long, the show will not be in "real time."
ReplyDeleteThis makes me smile. 24: Live Another Day will truly be epic.
ReplyDeleteI cannot wait for this show to start again already.. Now just bring Tony & Aaron back too!
