Audiences aren't the only ones hopeful for a possible 24 revival as producer Jon Cassar also expresses his interest in the show coming back. Created by Joel Surnow and Robert Cochran, the action drama series revolved around Jack Bauer, an agent working for the Counter Terrorist Unit as he finds himself pitted against a variety of terrorist threats. The series was memorable for being set within 24 consecutive hours, with each episode chronicling Jack's missions in real time, as well as those involved in the situations, including various Presidents, other CTU agents and his daughter, Kim.

Kiefer Sutherland led the cast of 24 as Jack alongside Sarah Clarke, Elisha Cuthbert, Dennis Haysbert, Carlos Bernard, Penny Johnson Jerald, Xander Berkeley and Mary Lynn Rajskub. Running for eight seasons on Fox, the series scored generally favorable reviews from critics for its fast pace, intricate plots and the performances of its cast, namely Sutherland, who won two Emmys and one Golden Globe, while some criticism was directed towards the show's perceived Islamophobia and glorification of torture. With the show's ongoing popularity and open-ended story, fans of the series have remained hopeful for a 24 revival and one of the behind-the-scenes creatives are offering their thoughts on its possible return.
