By B&C Staff -- Broadcasting & Cable, 2/13/2008 4:22:00 AM

Joel Surnow, executive producer and co-creator of Fox’s 24, is leaving the show after six seasons.

Surnow, whose contract was due to expire at the end of April, chose to exit to pursue other, unspecified projects. His departure is effective immediately.

The serialized counter-terrorism drama is set to return for its seventh season -- or “day,” in the series’ real-time” world -- in January 2009 after the writers’ strike scuttled its planned return last month.
