Two-hour TV movie to bridge gap between Seasons 6 and 7
By Nellie Andreeva
March 6, 2008

Fox's "24" will be returning in the fall, after all.

The producers of the Emmy-winning series are developing a two-hour "prequel" to the upcoming seventh season.

The movie, designed to bridge the two-year gap between Seasons 6 and 7, is targeted to air in the fall, leading to the January return of the real-time drama. On Wednesday, "24" producers began securing the show's core cast members for the film.

"24" was one of the biggest casualties of the writers strike. Three days into the work stoppage, Fox decided against airing a partial season of the serialized drama with the eight episodes produced before and during the first weeks of the strike.

Each season of "24" is a closed arc that takes place in real time over a 24-hour period. The upcoming seventh season is set in Washington and features the first female U.S. president, played by Cherry Jones.

At the end of the writers strike, there were rumblings about a possible split of the seventh season into two parts to air in the fall and in midseason. But Fox was quick to put those rumors to rest, reiterating that the show's scheduling pattern will remain intact with a January launch.

The "24" writing team is back at work, with filming on the remaining episodes of the seventh season slated to begin in April. Missing from the writers room is the series co-creator/executive producer Joel Surnow, who left at the end of the strike. Since the fifth season, "24" has been run by exec producer Howard Gordon.

Fox and 20th Century Fox TV, which produces the series with Imagine TV, declined comment Wednesday.

thanks for adding the new thread . I am sure in the coming months we will have more details.

I estimate this will run around November This way, during the mid October Fox coverage of MLB Word Series, they can plug it . Plus it will lead into NFL season .

Where normally Fox plugs 24 premiere during the NFl playoffs.

Howard Gordon gave If Magazine some information on what we will see.

Now iF Magazine has word from 24 executive producer Howard Gordon about how this new TV movie will fit into the show’s mythology.

“This will be a standalone movie that takes place almost a year after the sixth season ended, and will set up the story that launches the seventh season,” Gordon tells iF. “It will be entirely new material.”

Fall 2008 never seemed so far away. More news as it develops

Yeah - they really needed something to bridge between season 6 and 7.

In this blog about Movie or Tv filming in Washington DC . not sure if this is for the prequel or the season 7

Also, Kiefer Sutherland’s going to return to our fair city in June, shooting more for “24.”

That was it no more information.. Being that all the principle re start of season 7 /prequel starts April 1 it could make scenes that this being 3 months away. I would think most of season 7 would be done.
