The hotly-anticipated revival of FOX's 24 has just expanded its cast with familiar faces.
TVLine reports that Kim Raver has signed on to reprise her role as Audrey Raines, the former onscreen love interest of Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland). However, Raver will not be alone among returning vets.

In addition to Sutherland and previously-announced returnee Mary Lynn Rajskub, William Devane will also return for the 12-episode revival, reprising his role as James Heller, Audrey's father. When last seen, in the season six finale, Heller forbade Jack from ever seeing Audrey again after his daughter was left in a vegetative state as the result of drugging and torture by Chinese captors. It is unknown how the characters will be reintroduced to the series, or if Audrey will remain in her barely-functioning state.
Regardless, fans are anxiously anticipating the return of the former FOX hit, the resurrection of which was announced earlier this summer. The series is intended to be a more streamlined version of 24, as FOX president Kevin Reilly explained that “[the show] will go chronologically over the day, but it will skip hours.”
24: Live Another Day is slated to premiere in the spring.
