Kiefer’s Sentence Will NOT Affect 24
It’s inevitable that when the lead star of a TV series goes to prison that people can’t help but wonder how it will affect their favorite show. Well 24 fans, don’t worry.
Kiefer Sutherland was originally scheduled to go to jail the week of December 21st, which would have coincided with 24’s Christmas break. He surrendered himself two weeks early because the writers’ strike led to production on the show being halted, even though there were more scripts in the bank.
It’s now clear that there is no resolution in sight for the strike, since the AMPTP called off negotiations entirely last Friday. It’s looking like the earliest possible resolution would be mid/late January, and by that time, Kiefer would already be out of jail and shooting could resume. This would unfortunately rule out any likelihood of 24 returning to Fox’s schedule in early 2008 and at this point it’s looking like the show will return either Fall 08, or even as far as January 09. Therefore, any delay in 24 airing has nothing to do with Kiefer Sutherland’s prison sentence, and everything to do with the prolonged writers’ strike.
(Editor’s note, don’t bash the writers in the comments people, it’s not cool.)
