"24" Veteran Bob Cochran Joins "Live Another Day" as Exec Producer
by THE DEADLINE TEAM
Tuesday July 9, 2013
Add Bob Cochran to the list of high-profile "24" co-creators returning to the Fox franchise’s upcoming event-series reboot. The Emmy Award-winning executive producer/showrunner Cochran will serve as executive producer of "24: Live Another Day".
Cochran, whose credits also include co-creating the "La Femme Nikita" television series, most recently wrote the Starz pilot "Pinkerton", based on the famous 19th century detective, Alan Pinkerton. He is repped by APA and Gendler & Kelly’s Michael Gendler.
Fox in May announced Kiefer Sutherland has closed a deal for the event series at its upfront presentation in New York City. The continuation was pitched to Fox by longtime "24" showrunner Howard Gordon (now executive producer of Showtime’s "Homeland").
His 20th Century Fox TV-based Teakwood Lane is co-producing with original series producers Imagine TV and 20th TV. It’s one of two event series the network unveiled at its upfront confab — the other being M. Night Shyamalan’s Wayward Pines starring Matt Dillon.
