Kiefer Sutherland to Star in New Show from Heroes Creator

Last year, after eight seasons of 24, Kiefer Sutherland parted ways with FOX. But next year Sutherland will return to the network that made Jack Bauer a part of TV history.

Sutherland will be teaming up with Tim Kring, the creator of Heroes on a new show called Touch. On Touch, Sutherland plays a widowed father who has a problem connecting with his son, who is mute. It turns out that his son does have a gift though, the ability to see things no one else can see and to find patterns in events that occur in life.

Also starring on the show will be Danny Glover, who plays a professor that helps Sutherland to communicate with his son. The first season will be 13 episodes and will start airing in spring of next year.
