The next episode of 24 to air in the States is said to be so "shocking" that FOX has scheduled two encores.

"The episode is so gripping that two additional airings have been scheduled to ensure viewers an opportunity to catch this critical and controversial turning point," said the network in a statement today. "Leading into the final heart-stopping hours, this episode will leave viewers gasping and is certain to be the most talked-about hour in the show's four thrilling seasons."

In the episode, premiering this Monday (April 4), terrorist Harbib Marwan "sets his sights on his most momentous and potentially devastating target – an outcome that agent Bauer might not be able to prevent."

The pivotal moment will air in the UK early May.
