24: Redemption (Prequel)

FOX will air a two-hour "prequel" TV movie on November 23, 2008 that bridges the gap between seasons.[3]

24: Redemption (previously named 24: Exile)[1] is an upcoming television movie, bridging the gap between the sixth and seventh seasons of the TV series 24. Set in the fictional nation Sangala, Jack finds himself caught up in a military coup while trying to find somewhere he can 'be at peace'. Meanwhile, in the United States, it is Inauguration Day, where Allison Taylor is being sworn in to office. The movie is scheduled to air on November 23, 2008 with an extended director's cut being released on DVD two days later.[2]. The UK premiere date is the following day, Monday November 24th on Sky1. The telemovie will also air in Australia in the week begining the 30th of November on Seven.[3]

The storyline of the prequel takes place during Inauguration Day for the next U.S. President, Allison Taylor, and is shot partially in South Africa.[3][8] "[Jack] is a soul in turmoil and has been moving from place to place trying to find somewhere he can be at peace," says co-executive producer, Manny Coto. "But he winds up in Africa in the middle of a military coup." Meanwhile, Bauer is subpoenaed to appear before the Senate hearing while in Africa, but doesn't want to go.[9] Howard Gordon revealed the prequel takes place approximately a year after day six.[10]

24 Season 7 Trailer


Season Seven, also known as Day 7, of the television series 24 was originally planned to premiere on January 13, 2008 but was delayed an entire year due to the 2007"“2008 Writers Guild of America strike.[2] FOX will air a two-hour "prequel" TV movie titled 24: Redemption‎ on November 23, 2008 that bridges the gap between seasons.[3] FOX will then air season 7 beginning with a two-night, four-hour premiere over two consecutive nights, following the tradition of the previous three seasons. The first two hours will air on Sunday, January 11, 2009, and the third and fourth hours on Monday, January 12, 2009. From thereafter, 24 will air the remainder of the season on the following Mondays, without interruption.[1]

* According to a TV Guide interview with co-executive producer Manny Coto, "In a sense, it's a reboot "” in location and personnel. We're going to be introducing a new stable of characters, along with a couple of old ones. Jack starts next season in a very different place than any season so far. [He's] not living under an alias. He's found a place he thinks he belongs and a job he enjoys doing that doesn't involve the government... We're hewing much closer to real life: tighter, more personal, more difficult for Jack. There will not be a ticking clock on a nuclear device [and] the villain is not a terrorist [but] someone with a supremely dark past who's done something horrific and whose ambition is to regain his stature in the world. There may even be a plot thread that doesn't take place on U.S. soil."[4]

* Writer and Executive Producer Michael Loceff has confirmed, "what we are going for, is really taking this to the personal level," unlike this season six's focus on nuclear threats, Presidential health and possible war. Loceff says "you just can't go much bigger than that, unless you put a spacesuit on Jack Bauer and shoot him into orbit. Which you know, we may get there, but we're not going to be there yet." Next season expect smaller story lines for the characters, including Jack. Loceff adds, "and how he tries to resolve a particularly thorny conflict in the final episode." Loceff tells us Season 7 will focus on smaller and more intense story lines. But the specifics are still a mystery even for Loceff and the writers.[5]

* Carlos Bernard will return as Tony Almeida in the premiere of season 7 as one of the main antagonists, using his knowledge in order to help the terrorists get around government interference. Show-runner Howard Gordon explained that Tony's "uncertain fate" left the door open for his return[6] and cited the lack of a "silent clock" as a deliberate move to keep his death ambiguous.[7] "We didn't give him the silent clock because we always wanted to keep alive the possibility for some kind of (admittedly) miraculous resurrection... which we will explain," and followed up with "He's definitely not the Almeida we once knew."[7].

24 (season 7 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
 
Is it wrong that I am extremely turned on right now!!!
I love Bauer
I love Almeida
I love Buchanan (I hope he is still with Karen!!!)
I absolutely 100% adore Chloe....yum yum yum

I love the 'stay at home mom' line
 
Only Jack Bauer would go to Africa to "find peace".

Just 5 days till the mini eh? Good one.
 
Still trying to wrap my brain around Tony being a bad guy. He'll be great at that, actually. He was a pathetic mess after he saved Michelle, lost his career...now that Michelle's dead, he's got nothing. What a ridiculous soap this show is. A soap with lots of explosions and torture.

Can't wait.

A Soap?
Anyone see "Redemption" yet? It was...pretty good I guess. That UN weasel, wow. You'd almost think "right wing nut-job" Joel Surnow still worked for this show.

Can't really tell how the show's gonna be based on the telemovie...but it's gotta top Season 6, right? Still waiting for Chloe...

Sums it up. It wasn´t great but it´s not like it made me less excited for the next season. But if someone who has never seen the show (or at least a whole season) before thought this was a great chance to see what all the fuss is/has been about this don´t come close to give it justice.

I am in the UK, I have no idea when it airs HOWEVER, I suggest you work under the premise that I do on Doctor Who.
When i has aired in the country of origin, as long as you make it clear with the term spoiler in the title, you should discuss it.
If we waited for every country to premiere the episodes, then we wouldn't be commenting on some Angel seasons because aren't there some countries, like maybe Germany or something, that haven't shown the last season?

I say go ahead.
 
im watching the first 2 eppys right now and I can say they are great. I love how watching a new season of 24 seems like a whole new show, new characters and all. Love it.

I´m so torn. I want it now!! But at the same time I know it gets even better if you can watch all the episodes at once (in a day or five). Will I be able to wait? Argh! Makes me crazier...

OMG?! Yeah, that makes the wait easier... ;) But I can never wait for the boxsets. Watch first, buy later. Takes too long for it to be released here with subtitles and all.
I can't believe it's been almost 2 years since the last season! I've been watching the show for some years but I haven't started on season 7 yet.
