Kiefer Sutherland as Jack Bauer on 24 / FOX
ITVX is to add Kiefer Sutherland drama thriller 24 to its service from next month.
The acclaimed show stars Sutherland as Jack Bauer, a counter-terrorist agent tasked with thwarting major incidents over the course of one day, with episodes playing out in real time.
All eight seasons of the original show will be made available on ITVX on Thursday, October 2, alongside the 12-episode sequel, 24: Live Another Day, which was set in London.
Also available will be the spinoff show, 24: Legacy, which did not feature Sutherland and was cancelled after just one 12-episode season.
Sasha Breslau, head of content acquisitions at ITV, said: “We are thrilled to bring the iconic 24 franchise to ITVX. Its global recognition and critical acclaim, alongside Kiefer Sutherland’s compelling portrayal of Agent Jack Bauer, make it a must-watch addition for our audiences.”
Media Mole understands that 24: Redemption, a one-off TV movie which aired between seasons six and seven, will not be available as part of the deal.
