Season Five of 24 premiered on January 15, 2006 with two episodes back-to-back, followed by two more episodes back-to-back on January 16. Season Five was the second season to start doing a continuous run of episodes, but it is the first time that the producers knew about this well in advance, so they designed the story of the first four episodes knowing they'd be shown back-to-back on two back-to-back nights.

Season Five is slightly different in that Jack Bauer no longer works for a government agency, not CTU or the Department of Defense. This is unlikely to affect the nature of Jack much, since he never followed the rules even when he was working for someone.
