The first '24' box set charted for 45 weeks and, given the ratings received on BBC Two, Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment believes that the second series will prove to be just as popular.
The story picks up with Jack Bauer leaving the Counter Terrorist Unit, only to be reinstated by President David Palmer, who needs him to stop an impending nuclear attack.
BBC Three airings have proven so popular that the series has garnered its own fan show, 'Pure 24', following each episode, where viewers speculate over what will happen next.
The design and packaging concepts were created by AGI Media's design arm TM Los Angeles and the project was managed by art director Did Dilley. The design incorporates split-screen artwork, in line with the filming process that characterises the series.
A spokesperson at Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment, said: "Although the packaging was to have a similar look to Season One, it was important to distinguish it by reflecting the complexity of the relationship between Jack Bauer and the President, which is central to Season Two. This gives the final product a very strong, identifiable look which reinforces the '24' brand."
Another AGI Media company, AGI Media Birmingham, produced an eight-panel DVD pack printed in four colours with a gloss UV varnish. Clear DVD trays were used so that the artwork inside could be viewed in conjunction with the discs. The artwork illustrates the time period to which each disc refers.
"Following the success of Season One, we wanted a pack that would reflect the prestige and desirability of Season Two. While it was important to differentiate this new pack, there was also a need to maintain some consistency so that collectors can place the two together on their shelves," the spokeperson said.
