‘24: Live Another Day’ Season 2: Director Talks Jack Bauer’s ‘Possible’ Return After Finale’s Silent Clock, Fox CEO Hints At Season 10 Renewal? [SPOILERS]

"24: Live Another Day" finale, with its foreboding silent clock, will be remembered by fans worldwide and now "Live Another Day" director and producer Jon Cassar talks Jack Bauer's possible return for season 2, or season 10 of the whole "24" franchise. Peter Rice, the Chairman and CEO of Fox Networks Group, also hints at a possible "24: Live Another Day" season 2 renewal.

"24: Live Another Day" finale ended with a silent clock (watch below), which Seriable.com notes is a device that "has been used previously (albeit rarely) throughout the series to signal death, surrender, sadness, etc, its use at the end of Day 9 places an inevitable question mark over the future of the show, which remains uncertain at Fox."

"What does that silent clock mean at the end? I don't know if we know that yet," director Jon Cassar told Yahoo TV. "There were so many conversations about what the end should be. And not that we're 100 percent sure that this is the end, yet, the absolute end, but there is a possibility, so you're trying to serve both masters. You're trying to serve, if this is the end, is this the way we want it to end? And you're trying to serve, if it's not the end, what do we do to keep it open?

Meanwhile, at the 2014 Summer TCA Press Tour on Sunday, Fox CEO Peter Rice said he's "always been a fan" of the show, and said he thought its recent comeback "was fantastic," according to E! News. But the network hasn't "had a specific conversation about it coming back yet. I'm sure we will in the future. It's a wonderful franchise.

"Kiefer, Evan [Katz], Howard [Gordon] and Manny [Coto] did a great job this year," he continued. "When you look at the show itself, I think it has many more stories to tell, but I think we need to sit down and talk to the creators about it."

Additionally, as we previously reported and according to The Hollywood Reporter, showrunner Manny Coto is open to the possibility of bringing Jack Bauer back for "24: Live Another Day" season 2. All he and executive producer Jon Cassar need is a great storyline.

"All it really takes is a story that fires us up. That's what got us excited about doing this season," Coto told THR. "I think what would draw us back if that were ever to happen - and that's definitely up in the air - would be we or somebody presents an interesting take on Jack, on Jack's character, and where he is, which would suggest a great season."
