24: Live Another Day showrunners on another season: 'All it takes is a story that fires us up'

Last night, 24: Live Another Day — the "limited event series" that continued the adventures of Jack Bauer — came to an end.

As per usual, the series didn't leave Jack Bauer in the happiest of places — but in a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter, showrunner Manny Coto hinted that the series might give him another chance at redemption.

"All it takes is a story that fires us up. That's what got us excited about doing this season," said Coto. "I think what would draw us back if that were ever to happen — and that's definitely up in the air — would be we, or somebody, presents an interesting take on Jack. On Jack's character, and where he is, which would suggest a great season."
