Hello Folks!
EW's Michael Ausiello reports in his weekly Ask Ausiello column that Jon Cassar, longtime executive producer/director of "24", will leave the show at the end of this season.
Cassar, who was a vital part of the show for 6 years, has opted not to renew his contract.
"I will not be involved with the upcoming eighth season. Although that's sad for me to leave after six years, it's also very exciting to be back in the marketplace working with different people and facing different challenges," says Cassar.
A surprising turn, since Kiefer Sutherland, up to a month ago, was positive that Cassar would reach a new contract.
