Stephen Fry Will Play British Prime Minister in '24's New Season'
In 'Live Another Day' - set four years after the last series and once again starring Kiefer Sutherland - Fry will play the "strong and charismatic" leader of the country. Sutherland's counter-terrorist expert Jack Bauer returns to London as a fugitive on the run from the CIA. Our recent photographs show the U.S. star shooting action scenes in the capital's Aldgate.
The Fox series is set to premiere in the U.S with a two-hour special on May 5, with the UK expected to get the series on Sky 1 soon after. It will explore on the friendship between Fry's Prime Minister and US President Heller, which comes under pressure due to political crises.
24's new season will again take place over the course of a single day, though will leap around in time instead of the usual hour-by-hour structure.

"Hopefully, by the time you're finished watching an episode, you'll feel like you've been there. on the edge of your seat," added Sutherland.
