The actor confirmed that he will rejoin the cast when shooting begins in May, The AP reports.
Sutherland said: "If I was going to liken 24 to a girlfriend, 24 has been really good to me. And I need to be really good back.
"There are plays I want to do. There are so many different things I would like to do, but I was so fortunate to be part of something like 24 that my focus is still on that right now."
He added: "The real pressure is placed on the writers. It's a real question about how much they feel they can give and what they can do."
Sutherland said that providing a voice in animated movie Monsters vs. Aliens was a "relief" and gave him a "fantastic counterbalance" to his regular role as Bauer.
