Season overview

Set four years after the events of the eighth season, the ninth season of 24 follows Jack Bauer, who is currently living as a federal fugitive. The narrative centers on President James Heller, who travels to London for a historic visit to negotiate a treaty regarding the continued use of United States military drones on British soil. Amidst growing public and political concern over drone warfare, rumors surface regarding an imminent assassination attempt against the President. Jack Bauer resurfaces in London to investigate these threats but is quickly apprehended by the CIA. He is forcibly recruited into their operations, with the agency offering him amnesty in exchange for his cooperation. As Bauer delves deeper into the investigation, he discovers that the plot is far more complex than a simple assassination attempt. He realizes that the success of this conspiracy would have catastrophic consequences, potentially altering the course of history and pushing the world toward war. To combat this unseen enemy, Bauer partners with a disgraced CIA agent and a collective of hackers dedicated to the free flow of information, all while navigating conspiracies within the White House that threaten to undermine his efforts to stop the impending global crisis.
