24 - Season 3 Some new info and spoilers
24 (TV): HEAVY SPOILERS for Season 2 ahead. AICN has learned major details of the third season's first episode set to premiere in the US on October 28th and overseas early next year. This season will start and end at 1pm, is definitely set three years after the events of the season finale, and opens with a rotting corpse infected with “pnuematic plague” (PNP) being dumped on the doorstep National Health Services building. Jack is now the LA Director of field ops at CTU, whilst Tony runs a different CTU department and has just been offered a job at CIA's Virginia headquarters. Jack has spent the last year or so hunting narco-terrorist Ramon Salazar down and in fact spent six months undercover posing as his friend before bringing him to justice. Salazar's associates (incl. his brother Hector and his trophy wife) are threatening to unleash 'weaponized PNP' into the general population, killing millions unless Ramon is freed that evening. Kate (Sarah Wynter) and Jack seemed to have had and left a relationship, she only appears once and calls him asking him to get his stuff out of her house. Jack's daughter Kim has become the CTU's computer whiz (thank god no cougars or hicks this time) and the pair both have secrets they're not disclosing (looks like Jack may be ill, and Kim might be gay). Palmer is up for re-election and there's several references to his 'weakened state' and a scarred hand - seems he's still suffering the effects of Mandy's handshake.
