According to WENN, the US network is seriously considering the programme's future following years of rumours surrounding its demise.
Reilly told the New York Post: "It's our last contractual season of 24. There are a lot of moving parts, so we're not sure what will happen after that. It's going to come down to a business decision.
"It's not an inexpensive show on the network books and we also want to finish strong. This is not a show we want to prop up."
Star Kiefer Sutherland, who is allegedly paid around $550,000 (£330,000) per episode, will be out of contract after season eight - which also lends weight to the current speculation.
