Citing Script Problems, 24 To Take 24-Day Hiatus!!
I am – Hercules!!
Entertainment Weekly reports that “24” is shutting down production for more than three weeks because showrunner Howard Gordon isn’t happy with the scripting for the last six hours of Jack Bauer’s day.
The plan, which will not delay the airing of any season-7 episodes, is to toss out the script for 7.19 and take the season into a more promising direction.
"The only, only, only concern at all is getting it right," Gordon tells EW. "Our feeling was this: We're so happy with what we've done so far, and to the extent that we had that luxury [of time], we said, 'Why not make it as good as we could?'"
Following a 19-month layoff, new episodes of “24” return to Fox in January.
Real all of EW’s story on the matter here.
