Hey I'm new but I've been doing a lot of reading on this site because I like to hear others opinions on the show. Anyways I know some have been worried about Season 6 being the end or Season 7 but it looks like we're going to get a Day 8.

Jack's back - and on board to save the world at least two more times.
Fox has ordered two more seasons of "24," keeping the Emmy-winning drama on the net through the 2008-2009 TV season.
Announcement comes on the eve of Fox's Thursday upfront presentation. Show remains a powerful player for Fox, despite ratings dips and critical knocks this season.
Exec producers for "24" have already told several publications that they plan to make some changes on the show next season - but the twist will remain the same: Each episode covering one hour of real time as special agent Jack Bauer races against the clock to stop something bad from happening.
20th Century Fox TV and Imagine TV are behind "24," which winds down its sixth season Monday with a two-hour finale.
"24" is coming off an Emmy win for outstanding drama series, as well as outstanding lead actor in a drama (for star Kiefer Sutherland). Show has scored 51 Emmy noms throughout its existence, including five for best drama.
Joel Surnow, Robert Cochran, Howard Gordon, Evan Katz, Jon Cassar, Brian Grazer and Sutherland exec produce "24."

We already knew that, Kiefer Sutherland signed for three more years last year, for 40 million.

But that contract last year didn't mean that fox would necessarily pick the show up for 3 more seasons. That was just a deal with Kiefer. This contract is different.

Great news about the 2 season renewal!

Now the writers have their work cut out for them. I really hope the whole creative team will manage to brainstorm and create a solid season 7 to rectify the mistakes from this season.

IMO, season 8 will most likely be it for 24.

In order for 24 to get back it's ratings, it needs to more than better writing. It needs a DIFFERENT CITY. Geez Los Angeles is almost as unlucky as a city in Iraq. I however don't think they can save the ratings for 24 but what they can do is make a better series. Series that increase ratings after a bad season is rare very rare.

Urgh. They really will have to shake it up if they want decent ratings.

24 has done it once already, Season 3 dipped extremely. Only for 4 and 5 to pick the ratings up again.

Very glad to hear this news. Monday nights would not be the same if 24 was cancelled. Even though it's not as great as previous seasons I still love the show and think its the best TV has to offer. I can't wait to see how they plan to change the show and what Jack will have to face in the next couple of seasons.
