Production on the upcoming season of 24 has been suspended after Kiefer Sutherland suffered a ruptured cyst last week (begs08Feb10).
Shooting on the ninth series of the hit drama started earlier this month (Feb10), but cameras stopped rolling after Sutherland had to take time out to undergo minor surgery.
Bosses on the show insist they were keen to stop filming for Sutherland to have the surgery, rather than making the star wait the six weeks he is required for the rest of the shoot.
It is expected he will be back at work in a matter of days.
A spokesperson for the show tells E! Online, "We are temporarily suspending production of 24 while our friend and colleague Kiefer Sutherland undergoes a medical procedure. We hope to resume production shortly and do not anticipate any disruption in the broadcast of this season's episodes."
