March 8th, 2009

Jon Cassar

It has been announced that 24 Producer and Director Jon Cassar will take no part in the production of season 8 of the show.

Cassar has directed a third of the 150 episodes he has produced.

“I will not be involved with the upcoming eighth season,” Cassar told EW. “Although that's sad for me to leave after six years, it's also very exciting to be back in the marketplace working with different people and facing different challenges.”

Cassar is the latest big-name to leave the 24 set-up following co-creator Joel Surnow's decision to move on last year.

Jon's next project will be directing the upcoming CBS drama pilot Washington Field.
