A spinoff to hit real-time drama series 24 is being mulled by FOX Home Entertainment.
The show's creator, Joel Surnow, said Wednesday that he and FOX were discussing ideas for a spinoff featuring an all-new cast and taking place in real-time.
"Our idea at Fox was to create these real-time thrillers," Surnow said. "The series might touch on such things as a hostage crisis, heist or other dramatic situation that could be told in a real-time setting."
Each series would be eight hours long and released directly to DVD.
Around 1 million copies of the full 24 season one and two boxsets have been sold worldwide.
