24 almost seems like a relic in 2013. It was perfectly in tune with the neo-con zeitgeist when it came to dealing with the War on Terror.

We previously reported that Fox was considering bringing Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) back for a limited series, which would be the only way to see the character again since in March we learned that the 24 movie wasn't going to happen. Today, Fox has announced that 24 is set to return to Fox next May for a 12-episode limited series entitled, 24: Live Another Day.

Then again, after the Boston bombings, Bauer may be relevant again. The show was almost born out of 9/11, and with a recent terrorist attack, some viewers may want to take comfort in a hard-charging special agent who has a gun in one hand and a PDA in the other. Hit the jump for the press release. Here's the press release: JACK IS BACK!!!
