Season 7
24 is an American action television series created by Joel Surnow and Robert Cochran and presented in real time, with each season depicting a 24-hour period in the life of Jack Bauer, who works with the United States government as it fights fictitious terrorist threats to the United States.
Broadcast by Fox in the United States and syndicated worldwide, the show aired from 6 November, 2001 to 24 May, 2010. There are 124 episodes (and a TV movie) in eight seasons.
24 originally premiered in South Africa on M-Net on Thursday 31 January 2002, at 19h00. It was moved to DStv's M-Net Action channel for the 7th season, as well as the preceding television movie 24: Redemption. It later aired on e.tv (first season only) and TopTV's Fox Entertainment channel.
When Fox Entertainment became FOX in 2013 the final season aired on the new channel, which was broadcast simultaneously on TopTV and DStv. See "Seasons" below for seasonal broadcast dates and times by channel.
Season 7 originally aired on M-Net Action from 10 June to 18 November, 2009, on Wednesdays at 19h00. It was preceded the week before (on 3 June) by the made-for-TV movie 24: Redemption, which served as a bridge between the 6th and 7th seasons. New episodes broadcast weekly.
Season 7 premiered on Fox Entertainment with a double bill on Tuesday 1 January 2013, at 20h15. Thereafter new episodes broadcast weekly at 21h00, preceded by a repeat of the previous episode at 20h15. There are 24 episodes in the seventh season.
Season 7
Beginning at 8am sharp, Day 7 of 24 again covers one hour of real time, as viewers follow Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) through another astonishing day.
Set in Washington, DC, Day 7 opens four years after Season Six with CTU dismantled and Bauer on trial. Bauer's day takes an unexpected turn when former colleague Tony Almeida (Carlos Bernard) returns.
Meanwhile, newly elected President Allison Taylor (Cherry Jones) leads the country alongside White House Chief of Staff Ethan Kanin (Bob Gunton) and First Gentleman Henry Taylor (Colm Feore).
A national security crisis prompts an investigation by a team of FBI agents including Janis Gold (Janeane Garofalo), Renee Walker (Annie Wersching), Larry Moss (Jeffrey Nordling) and Sean Hillinger (Rhys Coiro).
The crisis occurs when the firewall responsible for protecting America's government computer infrastructure is breached by the same people responsible for a conflict in Sangala.
The season features the show's first female president, Allison Taylor, and this is the first season to take place outside Los Angeles.
Although CTU is no longer, Chloe O'Brian (Mary Lynn Rajskub) and Bill Buchanan (James Morrison) will be back for another momentous day of shocking events.
