Well, it looks like Fox’s 24 will be returning in the fall after all. The show’s producers have announced that they are developing a two hour prequel of sorts that is meant to bridge the gap between the sixth and seventh seasons.

According to the announcement, two years have lapsed between the events of last season and the next season that was put on 12 month hiatus due to the WGA strike. The movie will air sometime during the fall season leading up to the January return of Jack Bauer and his real-time drama.

At the end of the writer’s strike, there were some rumors circulating about a possible split of the show’s seventh season that would have aired during the fall and again during mid-season. But Fox has long ben adamant about running the show uninterrupted and quickly put those rumors to rest.

Other details that surfaced are that the seventh season is set in Washington, DC and will feature the first female U.S. President, played by Cherry Jones.
