Jack Bauer is coming back to Fox with four big hours over two days. According to Variety, 24 will premiere its much-delayed seventh season with consecutive two-hour episodes on Sunday, January 11 and Monday, January 12. The January 12 two-hour affair will also be the series' 150th episode.

The series will debut in its regular hour-long timeslot on Monday, January 19 at 9 PM ET. The series last aired on Fox in May of 2007 and this coming season was pre-empted due to the writers strike.

Viewers will get a dose of Jack Bauer before this as well, with 24: 24: Redemption, a two-hour Season 7 prequel that will air on Sunday, November 23 on Fox.
