24's Mary Lynn Rajskub: Day 8 won't be the last

Mary Lynn Rajskub doesn't think the new season of 24 will be the last.

The US comedian and actress - who has played geek Chloe O'Brian in the last five series of the hit show - admitted that a decision on the future of 24 wouldn't be taken for a few months.

But she is hopeful that there will be a ninth season of the hit show starring Kiefer Sutherland, saying: "I think it's not gonna be the last year".

She added: "I have no idea (if it'll be the last series). Every other day I think differently. We really won't know for a few more months. So check back in with me!"

Chloe also revealed that the eighth season, called Day 8, will begin with peace talks between the US and the Middle East.

"It takes place in New York this year. CTU is back, I'm working at the CTU, which is underground. There are peace talks planned between the United States and the Middle East, which goes terribly wrong within the first episode," she said.

The eighth season of 24 begins on Sky1 on Sunday at 9pm.
