Longtime executive producer-director Jon Cassar has left 24 after failing to come to terms on a new contract.
“I will not be involved with the upcoming eighth season,” he tells Ausiello.
“Although that’s sad for me to leave after six years, it’s also very exciting to be back in the marketplace working with different people and facing different challenges.”
What’s even more surprising is that the split happened despite Cassar’s closeness with 24 star Kiefer Sutherland. In fact, Sutherland said originally that Cassar was crucial to the show.

We all know season six of 24 sucked. It was bad. So bad we longed for the cougar to return and finish Kim off. The talent behind 24 know fans we’re the most receptive to season six, and according to Kiefer Sutherland they’re doing everything they can to make season seven something we’d want to see.

HA!  Even the creative team knows that everyone hates Kim Bauer.  Nothing against Cuthbert but I’d much rather Kim not return.
