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 prequel should be made to keep viewer interest at a high, and to allow Jack Bauer to explore new surroundings; Africa.
