Fox confirms '24's' return, announces fall 2013 lineupThe answer to the question of whether "24" could return to Fox is now an unequivocal "yes." Fox's Chairman of Entertainment, Kevin Reilly, confirmed to press during a conference call on Monday that Kiefer Sutherland's Agent Jack Bauer is back in an event series that'll run over 12 weeks.
As had been previously reported, there was much talk surrounding a "24" movie, but, Reilly said, the creative team "all agreed that '24' compressed into two hours is not '24.'" But with Fox's new mission to run event programming, "a lightbulb went off for [former executive producer] Howard Gordon," Reilly said. "This is the perfect form." Called "24: Live Another Day," the episodes would "go in chronological order of the day, but skip hours," Reilly said, as "dictated by the plot." The plan is to air "24: Live Another Day" in early May 2014, and have it run through the summer to lead into Fox's other event program, M. Night Shyamalan's "Wayward Pines" starring Matt Dillon. In other news, Fox also presented its fall 2013 schedule, which includes three new comedies and two new dramas. The schedule below for the fall season includes new shows, complete with descriptions, in bold: Monday 8:00-9:00 p.m. - "Bones" (fall)/"Almost Human" (late fall): "Starring Karl Urban and Michael Ealy, the new series is an action-packed police drama set 35 years in the future, when police officers are partnered with highly evolved human-like androids." Tuesday 8:00-8:30 p.m. - "Dads": "This new multi-camera comedy series follows two successful guys – and childhood best friends – Eli (Seth Green) and Warner (Giovanni Ribisi), now in their mid-30s, whose relatively stable lives get turned upside down when their pain-in-the-neck patriarchs move in." Wednesday 8:00-10:00 p.m. - "The X Factor" Thursday 8:00-9:00 p.m. - "The X Factor: Results" Friday 8:00-9:00 p.m. - "Junior Masterchef": "Move over grown-ups ... the kids are taking over the kitchen! 'Junior Masterchef' (working title) is a new culinary competition series for talented kids between the ages of eight and 13 who love to cook. Based on the hugely successful U.K. and Australian format, the series extends the 'Masterchef' brand in the U.S. to include a younger group of aspiring masterchefs." 9:00-10:00 p.m. - "Sleepy Hollow" (Encore) Late Fall: Sunday 8:00-8:30 p.m. - "The Simpsons"

Nancy, this is the fall schedule. The Following will likely be back in January like it premiered this year. Thats how 24 was too.
All I have to say is "YAY"! 24 was a great series. Jack is back!

They met through ~ MìxedŚìngle.Çoм ~ A Serious interracial dating is an ideal platform for afro romance for black & white singles.

WOW
My husband and I are very happy about 24! We loved that show and were so sad to see it go. Can't wait to see what the screen writers have planned for us all. Will Chloe be back? You can't have 24 without her and of course Jack!
BORING
You and your hubby are morons.
You and hubby can do it doggie style, and both see the TV. How nice.
Awesome news!!!! Now well have a great show and entertainment back on TV. Jack is back! 24 is still one of the best shows ever and now fans have something to look forward to. Dink Dink Dink Dink the clock is ticking for the return!

WHERE IS THE FOLLOWING ON THIS SCHEDULE?????????????
Didn't watch 24 the 1st time around. Doubt I will this time either.
Uh, yeah, thanks for the contribution of something nobody cares about.
It was pretty good overall. You should give it a try, it's available on Netflix and I believe Hulu.
Nest news ever that 24 is coming back. I love Kiefer as Jack Bauer. Although he doesn't make a bad Martin Baum, as Jack Bauer he gets to kick ass.
