The new season of 24 returns to our screen shortly after what's been a four year absence. To be honest, we all thought Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) would never be seen again, but nope, the show is set to go on, and on, and ON. Although, in fairness, the trailer below looks pretty bad ass, and when this show got it right, it really did get it right.

Jack has been tracked by the CIA living in London, which they then assume means he is there to kill the US President, who's also in town. Haven't they realised Bauer is a frickin' hero yet? Maybe he's just chilling out with some tea and crumpets?

Not for long anyways as they soon go after him, and Bauer then naturally finds himself in the middle of yet another terrorist plot - of course the big difference this time is that it's in London Baby! (Throwback quote day)

The series will return in all its Jack Bauer glory on May 5th.
