Once a show gets close to 100 episodes, cable networks will buy the rights to broadcast the reruns.

For example, Supernatural shows new episodes on CW but TNT shows all the old episodes every morning at 10am. Shows make more money in syndication than they do in their original run.

That's money for MGM who owns the rights to Teen Wolf, Money for MTV which owns the shows themselves and money for Jeff Davis since he is the creator and executive producer.

Usually they need at least 100 episodes to guarantee syndication but the threshold is dropping. Now it's around 88 episodes. If they get close to that number they usually give it another season because syndication is worth more than the cost of producing the extra episodes.

2 more seasons of 24 would get them to 72 episodes making the next season a no brainer.

I bet that was more confusing than I meant it to be. Suffice it to say we'll at least get 2 more seasons of 24 each but I'm betting on 3 more to get them up to 96 episodes.
