Jack BauerJack Bauer is finally ready for season seven and his nearly two year absence from the FOX network. On November 23 he’ll return for “24: Redemption”, a 2-hour movie which reminds me of “Blood Diamond” from the scenes they’ve shown in the trailer. This prequel movie to season seven will take Bauer to Africa, the originally desired location for season seven. Instead “Redemption” will act as a bridge between the two seasons as we’ll see Bauer returning to DC to save the world!

“24,” the Emmy Award-winning series starring Kiefer Sutherland, will premiere with a special two-night, four-hour event Sunday, Jan. 11 and Monday, Jan. 12 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on Fox. The series, returning for its seventh season, celebrates its milestone 150th episode during the fourth hour of the not-to-be-missed two-night premiere.

Making its time period premiere Monday, Jan. 19 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT), “24″ will unfold without interruption through the season finale in May. Set in Washington, D.C., “Day Seven” opens with CTU dismantled and Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) on trial. Bauer’s day takes an unexpected turn when former colleague Tony Almeida (Carlos Bernard) returns after being presumed dead. Meanwhile, President Allison Taylor (Cherry Jones) leads the country alongside White House Chief of Staff Ethan Kanin (Bob Gunton) and First Gentleman Henry Taylor (Colm Feore). An unthinkable national security crisis prompts an investigation by a team of FBI agents including Agent Janis Gold (Janeane Garofalo), Agent Renee Walker (Annie Wersching), Agent Larry Moss (Jeffrey Nordling), Agent Sean Hillinger (Rhys Coiro) and security specialist Michael Latham (John Billingsley). Although CTU no longer exists, Chloe O’Brian (Mary Lynn Rajskub) and Bill Buchanan (James Morrison) are back for another momentous day of shocking events.

Setting the stage for these events is “24: Redemption,” the two-hour television event shot on location in South Africa and Los Angeles that bridges the gap between Seasons Six and Seven. Airing Sunday, Nov. 23 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT), “24: Redemption” finds Bauer working at a school in Africa where he is called upon to stop a ruthless warlord from drafting innocent children into his murderous militia. At home, it’s inauguration day for the President-elect, but a malevolent mastermind Jonas Hodges (Jon Voight) works behind the scenes to fan the flames of the growing international crisis.
