With reports that only Kiefer Sutherland is returning next season for the fourth time around on "24", more details have emerged in a new article from Variety.
"Dennis Haysbert's David Palmer character will no longer be president of the United States. Instead, when the action resumes, Sen. John Keeler -- last seen trying to blackmail Palmer -- will be the new president. Geoff Pierson, who played Keeler in multiple episodes last season, will reprise his role for season four. It'll be a recurring part, however. Sutherland's Jack Bauer will no longer work for CTU".
Meanwhile 'Regiment' drops in a few more details about what some of the jettisoned members are getting up to otherwise:
"Everyone has been shown the door, aside from Kiefer. Elisha Cuthbert was asked to stay on, but she balked - having just signed a couple of lucrative movie deals. Elisha Cuthbert is in talks for a certain superhero film - sans the blonde - which just had a change of director.
Reyiko Aylesworth has joined the cast of "CSI in a recurring role next season. Carlos Bernhard (Tony) has also been keeping pretty busy and he himself has a couple of projects to go on with - including things he's developing, and Joel Surnow's doing a 24 feature DTV. They're going to be adding some big name co-stars to the mix though I hear. This is pretty much considered to be the final season".
Thanks to 'Charge!'.
