Gordon told Deadline that he and his writing team contemplated killing off Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) in the season closer, which aired last night (Monday, July 14) in the US.

"We certainly tried out a lot of different endings and we rearranged the furniture every which way in the room," Gordon explained.


"So we knew what it looked like for other characters to have met with different ends and we tried them all on, up to and including Jack himself."

Gordon explained that while the possibility of killing Jack "was intriguing... it had to be done just right".

"This has always been a show that is really about the days and the life of this man and no day is probably as intense as a person's last day," he said.


"So killing Jack was something that was intriguing to us all but it had to be done just right - and that didn't present itself to us."


24 is yet to be formally re-commissioned by Fox, with executive producer Jon Cassar stating that there are currently no plans for the show to return.
