Producers for the hit Fox series "24" confirm they have been in talks with New York city officials about filming "some" of season six there reports TV Guide. "We are in conversations about shooting some stuff in New York for [next] season" says executive producer Joel Surnow.

While no plot details have been revealed, rumours have been swirling for a while that the show would commence someone in a major non-west coast city like Chicago or Washington with New York coming into the action in the second half of the season (a one hour flight time from those cities to NYC could easily fit into the narrative. Its expected that actors Gregory Itzin & Jean Smart (Charles & Martha Logan) will reprise their roles next year too.

This would be the first season of the show set outside the greater Los Angeles area, though the series has taken short trips before into Mexico and Nevada. Producers have also confirmed that, much like the second season's last minute cliffhanger, next season will skip ahead and likely bring up only in mention the cliffhanger the fifth season finished on.
