EXACTLY! Keifer is signed on with 24 through 10 seasons, but there is talk of killing Jack off after 6 or 7 seasons, and having Keifer as like the top producer on the rest of the seasons and introducing a new city and a new character.
The problem with that? 24 lives and dies with Jack Bauer. Fans have become accustomed to seeing Jack Bauer save the world, not some new guy. If Jack Bauer is killed off, there is no more need for the show.
