Is Jack Bauer, dare I say, happy in season 8 of 24? The latest promo for season 8 shows a smiley Jack laughing with his daughter Kim (Elisha Cuthbert) and playing with his granddaughter.

But don’t worry, this softer, kinder Bauer doesn’t seem to last for long. The promo also shows “The Shield’s” Benito Martinez as the man who lures Jack back into the terrorism-fighting business and more of the New York CTU (including a shot of Freddie Prinze Jr.). Thankfully there are few familiar faces back too, like Chloe (Mary Lynn Rajskub) and President Taylor (cherry Jones).

The promo even has a couple of the classic one liners 24′s become known for like when a young staff member asks, “Who is Jack Bauer?” and at one point Jack says, “I hate this place”.

Season 8 of 24 premieres Sunday, Jan. 17 and continues on its regular Monday home the next night. Are you ready for another 24 hours? Here’s a look at the promo below:
