Still no final call on show's lifetime.
I'm posting this here because it contains no spoilers and eventually this section will become the season 8 section. so...
According to iF magazine, there still is no final call as to whether s8 will be the last for 24 or not. but Fox Entertainment President Kevin Reilly says the decision will have to be made within the next couple of months.
Its our last contractual season of 24, he says. There are a lot of moving parts, so were not sure what will happen after that.
Reilly does say Kiefer Sutherland is still as enthusiastic as the first day he began on the show and that another season or possibly a theatrical movie isnt out of the question.
We havent made any decision whether its back or not, Reilly admits. The producers are passionate, Kiefer is passionate and we dont have any of them looking to jump ship. Its a show were really proud of. Its going to come down to a business decision. Its not an inexpensive show on the network books and we also want to finish strong. This is not a show we want to prop up. It will be a whole creative and business discussion and something well have to deal with over the next few months.
I know the fan base is divided into two, and as much as I would miss 24 when it ends, I've always wanted it to end BEFORE no one cares any more. and I doubt they can avoid that if they keep going too long (although the definition of 'too long' is a twisted one and dependent on who utters those words. we won't get into that here)

Re: Still no final call on show's lifetime.
When it is the last season, I want them to go into the season knowing it's the last season.
It's so very hard to know when enough is enough, by wiping the storylines so completely clean each season the show doesn't have a sense of "drawing to a close" like some shows do as they enter there final years, knowing that the clock is slowly ticking and they start to move pieces slowly around for the last arc(s).
I fear 24's end could be very "sudden"

I agree... it could be very sudden.
