Rex Features / Brian Rasic Carlos Bernard has said that it is highly unlikely that he will return for the next season of 24.

The actor, who plays Tony Almeida in the real-time Fox drama, made the comment on his official website.

Bernard said: "I'm asked this question on a daily basis, so I might as well answer it. I'll never say never when it comes to 24.

"It's been such a special part of my life and an honour working with all of the incredibly talented people that have helped make the show the success that it's been."

He added: "That being said, I have not been contacted by the studio or producers of 24 about season eight.

"They're already well into filming next season and I'm about to start work on a film in South Carolina. So, at this point, I highly doubt that I'll be involved in the next season of 24."
