Writers Announce Tentative Deal, What Does it Mean for 24?

It’s finally happening, the WGA agreed to a tentative deal late Saturday. The deal language has been hammered out WGA members will vote within the next 48 hours as to finally lift the strike. Nikki Finke is reporting that work could go back to normal as early as Wednesday.

Expect networks to release updated post strike schedules over the next few weeks, but just because the strike is over, doesn’t mean that 24 will be returning anytime soon. Due to the intensely serialized nature of the show, odds are Fox will put it into production immediately, but according to TV Guide, don’t expect any new episodes until January 2009.
