Jack and his “new” show have now made their way to free-TV screens and it picks up four years after the original season’s finale, where Jack went on the run after killing Russian Foreign Minister Mikhail Novakovich (Graham McTavish) who tried to ruin the US-Russian peace agreement. Jack is now a suspected terrorist and he’s being tracked by the CIA in London. Here’s what you need to know…

According to Kiefer, Jack is tougher 1
