The city so nice they named it twice is about to get a taste of a little Jack Bauer, according to EW.com.
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. 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.
New York City has been pretty ignored in the world of “24,” as a show about terrorist strikes in the Big Apple probably hit a little too close to home. The producers have apparently deemed it the right time to make the move.
