LOS ANGELES, Sept. 6 (UPI) -- Filming of the U.S. TV series "24" will be delayed 18 days while the script is polished, but series officials say the new season's release will not be affected.
The Hollywood Reporter said Friday that while filming of the popular FOX series will be temporarily shut down Sept. 15, the stoppage will not impact the scheduled January release of the series' seventh season.
Series Executive Producer Howard Gordon made the decision to stop filming following the completion of the 18th episode amid concerns of script quality.
The action series previously was set back as the season's plot line was reworked, and the recent nearly five-month writers' strike also temporarily halted production.
The Reporter said before the 2009 premiere of "24," which follows a government agent desperately trying to stave off disaster, FOX will air a two-hour prequel Nov. 24.
