From darkhorizons, The producers of Fox's "24" are developing a two-hour "prequel" to the upcoming seventh season of the real-time thriller reports Reuters.
The movie, designed to bridge the two-year gap between Seasons 6 and 7, is targeted to air in the Fall before the show's January return.
The most significant TV casualty of the writer's strike, production on the seventh season was halted eight episodes in.
As the strike went on, the network decided to push the real-time drama back a full year and are still sticking by that plan.
Production on this TV movie and the remaining sixteen episodes is slated to begin in April.

Sweet Lady Jesus, this show is still on television?! I aborted after season 3 when it started falling victim to its own formula and the stupid daughter got kidnapped for the 15th time. How on earth could they have kept it going for another 4?
I bagged on this show after watching one episode. In it, Kevin Dillon plays a survivalist that the daughter is hanging out with for some reason. I bemusedly recalled the scene in Grease 2 in which one of the T-Birds invites a girl into a bomb shelter and then tricks her into thinking WWIII started so she'll have sex with him.
And then Kevin Dillon does that exact thing, telling Eliza Cuthbert that the nuke or the virus or whatever has gone off so she'll stay with him.
They stole their plot from Grease 2. That equals death.
Octo, you've been particularly hilarious today. Any special occasion?
I've heard that damned story about that episode so many times. That was the worst part of 24. Right after that is the famous "Kim Meets a Mountain Lion" cliff hanger. When we came back the next week, the mountain lion just sort of quietly walked away. It was like they just didn't have the energy to film that scene.
Anyway, stop telling that story! You need to watch 24 before you bag on it! And then you can bag in season five, like me, when the nuclear bomb goes off in Winnetka.
Oops! I actually did a blog search to make sure I hadn't posted that story before, but that didn't protect Julie. Sorry, dollface.
Thanks for the props, JSP, the only special occasion is that work is slow enough for me to get some quality blog time.
Mountain lion encounters are extremely rare and attacks much rarer. I've been dying to see one since moving to California.
