Kiefer Sutherland has signed a lucrative €14m deal to make another six series of hit US show 24.
He plays FBI agent Jack Bauer in 24, which has been getting rave reviews in the US and Britain for its original and fast-paced format.
Last month, it was confirmed that producers of the show had been given the go-ahead for the third series.
According to reports, Sutherland will receive €120,000 per episode, after a string of movie flops.
"I feel like I have been given a second chance with this role," he told The Sun.
