Jack Bauer

Despite previous rumors that Kiefer Sutherland might not return for Day 8 of “24″ it seems that things are moving along quickly for CTU. EW is reporting that Jack Bauer and company are moving to New York City after spending time in LA and Washington DC:

Sources confirm to me exclusively that 24 will be relocating to New York next season — at least on screen. (The show will still be primarily shot in Los Angeles, with some NY location footage mixed in.)

Production on Day 8 gets underway next month, but already details are emerging. In addition to the move to the Big Apple, CTU will make a comeback under the leadership of a new, yet-to-be-cast male character by the name of Brian Hastings.

As previously reported, Slumdog Millionaire’s smarmy game show host, Anil Kapoor, is joining the cast as Arman Hashemi, a Middle Eastern leader on a peacemaking mission in the U.S.

Will you be able to see Hashemi as anything other than the game show host? Well, maybe not if he ditches that poofy haircut.

So “24″ in NYC? I can’t believe it took 8 seasons to make that happen!
