SPRING 2014: BENJAMIN BRATT JOINS FOX'S '24: LIVE ANOTHER DAY'

Earlier this week we learned that FOX's 24: Live Another Day will premiere on May 5 in a 12-episode series event. Now we are learning some details about the ever-increasing cast.

Benjamin Bratt has signed up to join the cast of the latest 24 adventure. Bratt will portray Steve Harris, the head of the CIA operations tracking fugitive Jack Bauer's movements in London. Bauer is in the UK to thwart a terrorist attack but Harris has other plans for our favorite fugitive.

SPRING 2014: '24: LIVE ANOTHER DAY' WILL PREMIERE ON MAY 5

24: Live Another Day is getting closer every day, and now the dates have been finalized.

Today, FOX announced the premiere date for the special event series, which picks up from the flagship series 24 though not necessarily right after the events of the final season and episode. Live Another Day is a 12-episode series that will reduce the need for filler as it will tell the events of the latest 24 hours in 12 episodes.

The action-packed drama centering on Jack Bauer's latest dilemma (and in London!) will premiere in a special two-hour episode on Monday, May 5. The following week, May 12, the show will air in its regular 9 pm time slot.
