Jack Bauer's long 24-hour days of torturing terrorists may be numbered. That's because actor and executive producer Kiefer Sutherland may be ready to call Season 9 his last on the hit show '24'.
"I don't think about [the end of 24] a lot, but I did this year for the first time," he tells Entertainment Weekly. "It was one of those weird moments where the stage was unusually quiet; it was like a ghost town. I was looking around [thinking] about all the work that went into building this thing and it hit me: T.i. will end one day, and I'm going to be sad about it."
"Whether season 8 is the end or not, I don't know," Sutherland says. "I love making the show, so I'm leaving my options open. And in all fairness, I think the audience will dictate that more than anybody."
So how will it go down?
"There are two obvious choices: Jack dies, or Jack finally has a happy ending," suggests executive producer Evan Katz.
"It's actually an interesting discussion as to which would be more faithful to the show and more rewarding for the audience. Because if we give him a happy ending, part of the audience would be mad at us for doing what is easy. And if we kill him, they would be mad at us for a different reason altogether."
