Yes, you read that correctly. After almost two years, Jack Bauer is finally returning to television! Last year’s Writers Strike may have ended 24’s season before it ever began, but as we’ve come to learn over the years nothing can stop Kiefer Sutherland’s super CTU agent Jack Bauer. Bauer makes his triumphant return to television in the two hour TV movie 24: Redemption this Sunday, November 23rd.
Bridging the gap between Season 6 and Season 7, this made for television movie explains where Jack has been since he sacrificed everything for his country and became a wanted man by the U.S. Government. Without giving too much away, 24: Redemption finds Bauer working as a missionary in Africa when he is called upon to stop a ruthless warlord from drafting innocent children into his murderous militia. Bauer must first confront his own torturous past and face an impossible decision that will change his life forever. A decision that will set the stage and raise the stakes for Season Seven, which debuts in January 2009.
