Kiefer Sutherland will reunite with his 24 castmates for a virtual 20th anniversary celebration.Sea
The actor, who played counter-terrorist agent Jack Bauer in the series, will appear alongside Leslie Hope, Elisha Cuthbert, Sarah Clarke, Eric Balfour, Reiko Aylesworth, Xander Berkeley, Sarah Wynter, Gregory Itzin, Mykelti Williamson, Chris Diamantopoulos, Cherry Jones, Louis Lombardi, Shohreh Aghdashloo, Tzi Ma and Sprague Grayden for the highly-anticipated event.
The cast will be joined by 24 creators Robert Cochran and Joel Surnow, executive producer Howard Gordon and a handful of special guests, to celebrate the Emmy-winning show.
“24 fans were the greatest I’ve ever experienced. I can’t wait to talk to you all,” said Kiefer in a statement.
The 20 Years Of 24 livestream special will take place on Nov. 6.
The leading man admitted that he would be open to the idea of reviving the show, telling the Sun in 2015 : “It didn’t have the conclusiveness that I think on some level we promised when we announced another season.”
Sutherland hinted that he wanted Bauer to die at the end of Season 9.
“It was left open for a variety of reasons, and there certainly was discussion about really closing it off and potentially killing him,” he says. “But … they always wanted to reserve the right to bring Bauer back.”
Still, Sutherland added, the character was one that he loved playing.
“The idea that there may be another opportunity to play him again someday is always kind of comforting to me.”
