Kiefer Sutherland and 24 cast will reunite for special event as series turns 20
The action-packed drama was one of the most popular shows of the 2000s.
The cast and creators of action-packed series 24 will reunite for a virtual fan event celebrating 20 years since the show premiered, with star Kiefer Sutherland headlining the proceedings.
The actor won both an Emmy and a Golden Globe for his performance as Jack Bauer, an accomplished agent for the Counter Terrorist Unit who thwarted several attempted attacks on American soil across the show's nine-season run.
Sutherland reprised the role for 2014 event series Live Another Day, which saw some of the action shift to London, but his character was not featured in short-lived spin-off 24: Legacy, which was cancelled after just one season.
Deadline reports that the 24 Virtual Convention will take place on Saturday 6th November 2021, consisting of "multiple" panels featuring members of the cast and behind-the-camera team, although the exact schedule is yet to be confirmed by organisers.
The digital event will charge $24 for access (approximately £17.50), with all proceeds going to Operation Smile, a charity providing important surgeries to children born with cleft lips, cleft palates and other facial deformities.
