Jack Bauer will have his trusted sidekick — unflappable system analyst Chloe — by his side when he returns to 24: Live Another Day. As widely expected, 24 fan-favorite Mary Lynn Rajskub has become the first castmember of the Emmy-winning Fox drama to join Kiefer Sutherland on Fox’s upcoming event series that is premiering in spring 2014. There has been talk about other 24 alumni possibly making a a return, including Kim Raver. “I am thrilled to be working with Howard (Gordon) and the writers again — and, of course, Kiefer!,” said Rajskub in an announcement Fox made at TCA. “There’s a lot more room to grow in my character. I’m going to start sharpening my computer skills now!” 24: Live Another Day will follow the further exploits of CTU agent Jack Bauer (Sutherland), taking up his story several years after the events of the final season. 24: Live Another Day, from Teakwood Lane Prods, 20th Century Fox TV and Imagine TV, will keep the series’ signature real-time format though it will skip periods to fit a 24-hour story into a 12-episode limited series. Gordon, Evan Katz, Manny Coto, David Fury, Robert Cochran, Brian Grazer, Jon Cassar and Sutherland will executive produce.

This is INCREDIBLE news! Spring 2014 can’t come soon enough! Rajskub was phenomenal on the show and I’ve really missed her awesome chemistry with Keifer! Wonderful!
Summer 2014.
It will be 12 episodes airing next Summer.
While I’m glad to see most of the originals behind the show back, it reminds me of the show’s decline in the last few seasons. Hopefully they will mix the old with some new blood.
I agree, it got a bit weaker in 6 and 7 but I thought season 8 was marvelous. Hopefully with the introduction of new character as you said, the show will be superb again!
Season 6 was bad. Especially coming off the crazy (yet entertaining) Season 5.
7 tried to make up for 6. And toward the end, it made things right.
Season 8 was great. Hoping for the show to return strong.
after season 4, it was the same old refried flatulent beans season after season. only somehow of limited intelligence could continue to find it suspenseful or entertaining when episode after episode featured the same lame plot tricks.
AMEN!!! I adored Chloe – one of the most richly complex and subtle characters of that era on television – and she was played to perfection by the gifted Ms. Rajskub. I’m delighted!
I’m thrilled. This was one of my favorite all time shows
YESSSSSSS!!!!!!!
I for 1 can’t wait for next May when 24 is scheduled to return. Although it’s only 12 episodes covering 12 hrs I hope that if the ratings are good it could return as a full fledged series like Family Guy did years ago.
It’s 12 episodes over a 24-hour day, Daniel sir, and even if the new series does gangbusters in both rating and reviews, they’ll not be going back to the old format and neither should they…
Thank you for making my day. This morning started out miserable but, now, I have something to get excited about.
I adore Mary Lynn Rajskub. I had the opportunity to see her stand-up show, and she was hilarious.
Chloe was the human progenitor of “Grumpy Cat.” Now if only they can bring back Nina, as her even more-evil twin?
YES! Super psyched about this, too. One of the best shows coming back and adding one of my favorite cast member. Can’t wait to hear more great news about 24
DAMMIT, CHLOE!!!
This just totally made my day. LOVE Rajskub.
Huge talent in Mary. Would love to see NINA back!!! Maybe her death was a dream!
If you read the article, it clearly says “premiering in spring 2014″…
Wow. I sure do disagree with everything above. Mary Lynn is a big zero in my book. Same scowl in every shot. And watching her “stand up show” is like watching a special needs bus go off a cliff.
I’m SO glad Chloe is back! I DON’T want Kim Raver back unless she’s playing a new character — I despised Audrey.
Face it.
“24″ would not be “24″ without two things…
1) Jack Bauer
2) Chloe
This is great news.
Awesome news
Never doubted her return for a second, so happy! Id love if they brought back Kim Raver, i loved the audrey character!
Wow this is Good .I cant wait until next year to watch 24 live another day ! With Keifer Sutherland. Also. Mary Lynn
I’m so very happy that 24 is coming back!!! That was the best show out there. Can’t wait.
