24 Postponed Indefinitely
Fox announced today that 24’s seventh season, which has already been riddled with several production delays and a rehashed premise, has been postponed indefinitely. Instead of launching the new season in January with the 8 completed episodes, Fox will hold off until the writer’s strike is settled. If the strike ends soon, 24 could return in the spring, but if it doesn’t it might not make it on the air until next season.
Fox became the first network to unveil a strike contingency schedule which includes moving new shows around to fill gaps and, of course, more reality TV. 24 isn’t the only show being affected either. Once new episodes of House run out, Fox will replace them with a new run of Hell’s Kitchen.
