The role was previously filled by Judy Davis, before the Australian actress dropped out of filming, citing personal matters.

24: Live Another Day sees Kiefer Sutherland reprise his role as agent Jack Bauer, reuniting with former co-stars Kim Raver, William Devane and Mary Lynn Rajskub.

Michelle has kept herself busy by making guest appearances in the American drama Suits as well as Ralph Fiennes’ biopic The Invisible Woman, and Philomena, Stephen Frears’ Oscar-nominated film based on the novel of the same name.

24 originally ran for eight seasons between 2001 and 2010, earning multiple Emmy and Golden Globe Awards.
