As all you 24 fans probably know by now, 24 has been cancelled.

Yep, Jack Bauer’s adventures will end at the end of the current (eighth) season. But what does everyone’s favourite psycho agent think about the show’s cancellation?

In a statement issued by Fox; Kiefer Sutherland said…

“This has been the role of a lifetime, and I will never be able to fully express my appreciation to everyone who made it possible. While the end of the series is bittersweet, we always wanted 24 to finish on a high note, so the decision to make the eighth season our last was one we all agreed upon. This feels like the culmination of all our efforts from the writers to the actors to our fantastic crew and everyone at Fox. Looking ahead to the future, Howard Gordon and I are excited about the opportunity to create the feature film version of 24. But when all is said and done, it is the loyal worldwide fanbase that made it possible for me to have the experience of playing the role of Jack Bauer, and for that I am eternally grateful.”

Showrunner Howard Gordon added…

“Kiefer and I have loved every minute of making 24, but we all believe that now is the right time to call it a day. I echo his sentiments of gratitude toward the show’s amazing creative team, as well as the studio and network who have always believed in us and shown us unbelievable support.”

As much as the current season of 24 is annoying me, I will miss Jack Bauer’s antics. Oh well, at least we have the movie to look forward to.
