Teaser trailer for 24 season 8

Simon Brew


Jack Bauer is returning, but is he really looking for the quiet life with his family? Fat chance. Here’s the trailer for 24 season 8 to prove it.

Published on Oct 29, 2009

We're not quite sure that it's safe to call the eighth season of 24 the final one yet, but all the signs seem to point to this being the final full length series for Jack Bauer and his team of redshirts. Given that season seven, while an improvement on the one that preceded it, seemed to ultimately struggle for ideas, it's going to be interesting to see whether there's much left in the tank. That said, the show's pulled things back before when we thought that it had peaked (President Logan and season five spring to mind), and the challenge will surely be now to come up with some more genuinely interesting side characters so we don't end up with 24 episodes of bullets bouncing off Kiefer Sutherland's body.

The first teaser trailer for the new season has now arrived, and it doesn't get off to the best part by featuring logic-bypass operation survivor Kim Bauer. However, it does set things up as Jack wanting to go home with his daughter and grandkid (who he's clearly found out about now), before an assassination plan emerges that needs to be sorted that very day. It was an assassination plot that springboarded the show into life back in the very first season, and we wonder whether there's a deliberate ploy to take things back to basics.

Anyway, for now, here's that trailer, and Jack Bauer will be returning in January.

Dammit! Every time I think I cannot get excited about the next season after how bad the previous was, I see the trailer and think WOOP WOOP! I know it will never reach its high point again, I know that really they ran out of ideas about 3 seasons ago but... well its Jack innit? May he go out on top or in a blaze of glory! Either way I'll be watching (although I promise to switch to off the second either Kim or her grandkid gets kidnapped, even I can't take any more of that)

Obviously I meant Jack's grandkid, not Kim's- she's a dirty little minx but even she can't have had grand kids just yet.
