Season 8 location

Posted: Apr 14, 2009 7:59 pm

After six seasons in Los Angeles and one in D.C., Jack Bauer is taking his one-man show to Broadway!

Sources confirm to me exclusively that 24 will be set in New York next season.

Production on Day 8 begins 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. Described as an MBA type with a razor sharp intellect, Hastings will be joined by two new twentysomething agents (one male, one female), as well as Mary Lynn Rajskub's returning Chloe.

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. Casting is underway for the roles of his brother and wife.

Thoughts on 24's move to the city that never sleeps? Comment away below!

great find! i love the idea of CTU being back. maybe that means Prez. Taylor has got enough sense to know we need 'em, unless this IS a prequel. hope not, tho i'll take any form of Jack i can get. glad 2 see Chloe returning. Janis is holding up, but when u need the impossible done on a keyboard, can't beat Chlo'.

SWEET.
I can stalk the 24 cast and crew in a city I knew inside and out! YES. Should be some hot scenes in Times Square.

Does anyone know anything about Carlos Bernard? I read some rumours he might appear in 8th season too.
