Fans of the Kiefer Sutherland’s 24 will be excited to learn that Fox hopes to bring back the action-drama.

According to E! News, the network has not confirmed the return of the series, but an insider notes that the return of 24 is an absolute.

The series, which ran for 8 seasons under the directing of Robert Cochran, starred Sutherland as Jack Bauer, director of Field Ops. Showrunner Howard Gordon reportedly came up with the idea of a 24 return.

Entertainment Weekly reports that should a return actually happen, it would be on a limited basis- coming back as more of a grand finale and will not look for a lengthy run like it’s previous time on television.

E! notes that the news of a potential 24 return comes on the heels of news that Sutherland’s Touch was cancelled.

A source close to the network tells E!, "We aren't confirming anything until Monday at our upfront presentation. "
