PRISON BREAK

Prison Break still belongs to the most popular tv shows so it’s no wonder that FOX picked up this drama for next season. But what should we expect from this sequel? The recent interview with producers of Prison Break indicated many details: Details on the serialized drama’s storyline for next season are being kept under wraps, but it is understood that brothers Michael (Wentworth Miller) and Lincoln (Dominic Purcell)–who recently escaped to Panama with the FBI hot on their trail–and many of their fellow fugitives would end up back behind bars, possibly in Panama. “It essentially will be a new chapter,” creator/executive producer Paul Scheuring said in interview for Reuters. “It’s going to return to the fundamental conceit, to the roots of what the show was about.” So you can probably look forward to the old good Prison Break, in prison and not in the wild (which was criticized by many people).

The options on the Break actors are not due for a pickup until May, but it is understood that a significant number of the regulars this season will return in the fall. The show also will introduce many new characters, Scheuring said. But while stars Miller and Purcell will return next season, don’t consider them safe, Scheuring said, hinting that one of them might not survive beyond the first couple of episodes. Scheuring already has begun scouting locations for season three. Production will be based in Dallas. There will be splinter units working in Florida, which has doubled for Panama this year, and Louisiana, also expected to double for Panama. Good work there, it was quite realistic and I would never say it was filmed in Florida. In its second season, Break has averaged 9.1 million viewers and a 3.7 rating/10 share among adults 18-49. The series ranks number one in its 8 p.m. Monday period in that coveted demographic. Let’s wait for final episodes of Season 2, they should be really surprising!
