"Jon Cassar will return as director and executive producer for 24: Live Another Day. The filmmaker has signed up to direct multiple episodes of the upcoming shortened series of the Fox action drama, including the first two episodes.   Cassar previously worked on seasons two to seven of the series, directing 59 episodes including the TV movie 24: Redemption. He won two Emmys and a DGA award for his work on the show. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m very happy to be renewing my relationship with the 20th Century Fox TV and Imagine family and am excited to call &amp;#039;action!&amp;#039; again on the set of the resurrected 24,&amp;quot; Cassar said. &amp;quot;Considering I was not involved in season eight, this new 24 event series gives me the chance for closure on a show that is very important to me.&amp;quot; Executive producer Howard Gordon said: &amp;quot;Jon was a profoundly integral part of 24 creatively and culturally. It doesn&amp;#039;t feel like it would be 24 without him, and we&amp;#039;re all just really thrilled to be working with him again.&amp;quot; Kiefer Sutherland will reprise his role of Jack Bauer for the 12-episode series, expected to debut in May 2014.
