Turns out the first part of that escalation will be a wholly new setting. When the show comes back in May 2014 for a 12-episode run, Jack Bauer will be in London and four years will have passed since his last adventure with Counter Terrorism Unit.

Entertainment Weekly broke the news of the series’ new setting and ran this quote from Sutherland:

Co-showrunner and executive producer Evan Katz added this:

We wanted the show’s return to be an event, and part of that was putting Jack in a very different context. Four years ago, we left Jack a fugitive from justice and we’re going to pick him up four years later in London.

What do you think of the London setting? Is four years enough time for Jack Bauer to have started a new life?
