It’s been more than four years since the heroic Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) graced television screens. Despite rumours of a 24 movie fizzling out, the iconic TV character will return this spring with 24: Live Another Day, a 12-episode series set in London that has everyone’s favourite counter-terrorism agent trying to prevent an assassination on the American president. Well, perhaps not everyone’s favourite agent, since some of the supporting characters shown in the trailer (a CIA head played by Benjamin Bratt and Tate Donovan’s White House Chief of Staff), believe that Bauer is a traitor to his country and a threat to national and British security.

In an unexpected yet arguably rather brilliant bit of casting, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug star Stephen Fry (who is obviously already an extremely familiar face in the UK thanks to the likes of Qi and Kingdom) has signed up to play the British Prime Minister in 24: Live Another Day.
The event series is set to run for 12 episodes and picks up with Jack Bauer four years after the events of season eight. Deadline describes Fry’s part in the series as “a high-profile recurring role”, adding that the Pm he is playing will be named Trevor Davies and that the character is, “a strong and charismatic leader whose friendship with President Heller, and the Anglo-American alliance itself, come under tremendous pressure because of personal and political crises.”
Joining Fry and Kiefer Sutherland (Pompeii) will be Mary Lynn Rajskub, Kim Raver and William Devane reprising their original roles,...
