From The TV IV

24, an action show starring Kiefer Sutherland, is one of FOX's consistently top-rated shows. The show centers around Jack Bauer (Sutherland), a field agent working for the Los Angeles Counter-Terrorism Unit (CTU), a fictitious federal law enforcement agency with broad-ranging powers to stop terrorist threats. Each season represents one day, with 24 hour-long episodes each representing one hour in the day, and several months to a year in between seasons.

The show has a tradition of shaking up the cast between seasons, sometimes moving recurring characters up to billed status and sometimes moving billed characters back to recurring character status, and constantly introducing new characters. Cast members are killed off regularly, often quickly and unexpectedly.
