Even with the WGA strike coming to a close, we won’t be getting any of 24 season 7. An article at TV Squad has:

When FOX made that announcement, some of us predicted that the show wouldn’t return until at least mid-August. Since the network is known for starting it’s fall season a bit early for certain shows (e.g., Prison Break), maybe the series could have aired from mid-August until the end of December with a few 2-hour long episodes. But it looks like this option won’t happen. Instead, we will have to wait 11 months to see what happens next in Jack Bauer’s life!

The irony is that if Fox would have approved the original season 7 “Africa” storyline, it would have worked for the fall. This storyline involved a break from the “24 hour” format in the middle of the season for Jack to travel back to the U.S. from Africa (~14 trip). The first half could have been pre-Christmas, and then pick up in the U.S. in January.

Will this long wait between seasons (almost 2 years) be a turnoff for fans? Will they come back? Will you?
