"24: Live Another Day producer Howard Gordon has discussed the possibility of the show returning after its upcoming run. With the new 12-part limited series set to launch in May, Gordon was positive when questioned about the show&amp;#039;s future.  When asked whether the show might return for a further series if the upcoming run is successful, he told Entertainment Weekly: &amp;quot;I think we&amp;#039;re open to it.  &amp;quot;Everyone&amp;#039;s having a really, really good time so far. No one is counting on it by any means.&amp;quot; The producer also spoke of his disappointment regarding the ratings of the last 24 series finale in 2010, saying he felt the episode was &amp;quot;under-appreciated&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;I was frankly disappointed,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;I think it ended gracefully but I feel like it was under-appreciated.  &amp;quot;We were quite happy with the way the last season went and the way it ended and I think, you know, at some level people had moved on at that time. I felt like it didn&amp;#039;t get the credit it deserved.&amp;quot;  Comparing the programme to AMC show Breaking Bad - which only ran for five seasons - Gordon pointed out that 24&amp;#039;s longevity could have affected the way the finale was received. He said: &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ll use Breaking Bad as an example. It had just the right evolution in terms of its relationship to the fans, to the critics and to the audience. It peaked and ended exactly at the right time and in exactly the right way.  &amp;quot;But it was a different animal and had a shorter run. We went almost 200 episodes over nine years so it&amp;#039;s a very different kind of storytelling. I may sound like sour grapes but it&amp;#039;s how we all felt.&amp;quot; It has been announced today (April 7) that 24: Live Another Day&amp;#039;s premiere will be simulcast in the UK and US. The opening double bill of the new 12-part limited series will be shown at 1am on Sky1 in the early hours of Tuesday, May 6 - the same time that it airs in the US (Monday, May 5 on Fox).
