Howard Gordon, the "showrunner" for season 5 of 24, on seasons 4 and 5 (via WHEDONesque):
But this year, when Surnow and Cochran stepped back to write a new pilot, Gordon took over the top role. And he did so with the show coming off a critically and commercially successful season, which ended with Kiefer Sutherland's Jack Bauer faking his own death. Keeping the show's complex storyline moving forward will be a challenge.
“Perhaps had we been on the BBC, it would have ended, because it was a great ending for a series,” Gordon says. “But commerce often trumps creativity, so we're back.”
Wow.
