24: Series

24: Redemption

Producers were determined to reinvent the series after receiving criticism over the sixth season. 7 They initially devised a storyline which would have Jack Bauer traveling to Sangala trying to find himself, and becoming caught up in a coup with Black Hawk Down. Fox aired a two-hour TV movie on Sunday, November 23, 2008 that bridges the gap between seasons. The storyline takes place during Inauguration Day for the next U.S. President, Allison Taylor, and is shot partially in South Africa. "Jack is a soul in turmoil and has been moving from place to place trying to find somewhere he can be at peace," says co-executive producer, Manny Coto. "But he winds up in Sangala, an imaginary country in Africa in the middle of a military coup." While at Sangala, Bauer is subpoenaed to appear before the Senate hearing, but he doesn't want to go.[6] Redemption takes place approximately 3 years and 9 months (January 2015) after Day 6 and Day 7 takes place 65 days (March 2015) after Redemption.

Season Seven, also known as Day 7 of the American serial television series 24, was to premiere on January 13, 2008, but was delayed for one year due to the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike. On November 23, 2008, Fox aired 24: Redemption, a two-hour TV movie set between seasons. Season seven began in the U.S. with a four-hour premiere over two consecutive nights, following the format of the previous three seasons, with the first two hours airing on Sunday, January 11, 2009, and the third and fourth hours airing on Monday, January 12. Fox aired the remainder of the season without interruption on Mondays.[3][4] Sky1 presented a two-hour premiere special on Monday 12 January. Another two hours were broadcast the following Monday, and a single episode on every subsequent Monday, meaning that the UK remained one week behind the U.S. Unlike all of the other seasons, this season's DVD set was released exactly one day after the season finale.
