Season 7



Season 7 of 24 premiered in the United States on January 11, 2009 at 8pm on Fox, two years after the previous season began. The premiere was a 2 night, 4 hour event (January 11 and 12 from 8-10pm on FOX/Global). In the UK, the show premiered with two episodes on January 12, with another two the next week.

Season overview
In the seventh season (2009), four years have passed since Abu Fayed's reign of terror and Jack Bauer is on trial in Washington DC for his supposed past crimes. Jack's day takes an unexpected turn when supposedly dead former colleague Tony Almeida returns. Meanwhile, newly elected President Allison Taylor leads the country through difficult times alongside White House Chief of Staff Ethan Kanin and First Gentleman Henry Taylor.

A national security crisis prompts an investigation by a team of FBI agents including Janis Gold, Renee Walker, Larry Moss and Sean Hillinger. Despite the disbandment of the Counter Terrorist Unit, Chloe O'Brian and Bill Buchanan continue working, albeit underground, to help the day's efforts.

24: Redemption
Taking place 3 and a half years after Day 6, 24: Redemption details the Inauguration Day of President Allison Taylor. Meanwhile in Sangala, Africa, Jack Bauer is subpoenaed to appear before a Senate hearing regarding his actions with the Counter Terrorist Unit, but doesn't want to go. He ends up in the middle of a military coup whilst working at the Okavango School with friend Carl Benton.

Timeline
Day 7 starts at 8:00am EST, taking place 4 years after Day 6, and roughly 14 years, 2 months after Day 1. This is the first season to date to use Eastern Standard Time (EST) as opposed to Pacific Standard Time (PST).

Format
Similar to the previous season, Day 7 can be split into 3 acts.


 * 1) Jack Bauer's return to helping the government after a threat is raised involving Tony Almeida, his supposedly dead former ally. The major antagonists involved in this act are Ike Dubaku and Benjamin Juma.
 * 2) After the defeat of the threat from Juma, another one rises in the form of private defense contractor Starkwood, who have possession of several canisters of a lethal pathogen. The major antagonist involved in this act is Jonas Hodges.
 * 3) All but one of the canisters are destroyed. The final one is seized by Tony Almeida for his crew, who plan to use it against a still weak United States. The major antagonists involved in this act are Tony Almeida and the cabal he is working with.

Major subplots

Crew
As stated by James Morrison in an interview with TV Guide, 95% of the crew is the same as from Season 1, meaning that there is constantly a good atmosphere on the set of the show. Main crew including Jon Cassar, Howard Gordon, Robert Cochran, Evan Katz, Manny Coto and others stayed on. Joel Surnow, the co-creator of the show, left during the Writer's Strike, which meant that he was not involved in the show's production after the first eight episodes. Joining the writing staff was Brannon Braga, Alex Gansa, and Juan Carlos Coto, and guest director of Season 6 Milan Cheylov returned and directed a four episode stint (although two were before the Strike and two after).

Airings
Season 7 was delayed for over a year due the the 2007-8 Writer's Guild of America strike. Fox decided to hold out from airing the few episodes of the season that had been made so that all 24 episodes could be shown non-stop. As a result, it was decided that a prologue should be made to keep viewer interest at a high, and to allow Jack Bauer to explore new surroundings; Africa. The following episodes were broadcast as back-to-back as two-hour episodes:


 * Episodes 1 and 2; 8:00am-9:00am and 9:00am-10:00am on January 11, 2009.
 * Episodes 3 and 4; 10:00am-11:00am and 11:00am-12:00pm on January 12, 2009.
 * Episodes 11 and 12; 6:00pm-7:00pm and 7:00pm-8:00pm on March 2, 2009.
 * Episodes 23 and 24; 6:00am-7:00am and 7:00am-8:00am on May 18, 2009.
