FOX Orders Third Season of "Prison Break," Promises Actual Prison This Time

Michael and Lincoln might still be on the run, but FOX has opted to keep the escaped prisoners around for a while longer, ordering a third season of drama Prison Break.

While the network is being coy with potential storylines for Season Three, The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that it's likely that Michael (Wentworth Miller) and Lincoln (Dominic Purcell) would return to life behind bars (i.e. prison) next season, along with several of their fellow fugitives.

The series will feature the return of several familiar faces from the first two seasons, along with a bunch of new characters, many of whom will not be American. Those comments lead many to indicate that the brothers will be imprisoned in Panama.

Prison Break's creator/executive producer Paul Scheuring said that Season Three "essentially will be a new chapter. It's going to return to the fundamental conceit, to the roots of what the show was about."

He also hinted that, while both Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell are set to return next season, neither one of them is 100% safe, implying that one of their characters might not stick around (in this mortal coil, I assume) after the first few episodes.

Wasn't it both the Creator AND the star Miller who said this was really a one of two season show. The longer this stays on the air, the less I care.

I would really like to offer the characters some Tunafish Sandwiches. They are yummy and would make them not run anymore. With or without mayonaise, their choice. I don't want to push the mayonaise on anyone. Some like it, some don't. But no lettuce. I think that lettuce detracts from the tunafishiness of the tunafish sandwich.

Also, they should really have a new character, such as oscar the grouch come on. I know it seems like a stretch, but can you imagine if Oscar the Grouch was there and broke them out. If not Oscar, why not "the great gazoo" from the Flintstones. An alien could add a lot.

Anyway, to summerize, tunafish and a new character. That's it. I look forward to season 3!!!

Well, the last comment was about Tunafish for goodness sake. We are talking about PRISON BREAK HERE!!! Common. Seriously, if there's anything the characters need, it's some Deviled Eggs. Man, they are good in my hood.

I think that if they had them with extra Paprika it would give them the edge so badly needed.

As for another character, THAT I AGREE WITH! But Mr. Snuffalufagus or Tea Bag having a three-way with Bert and Ernie would be better. Nothing like some good man-on-muppet gay sex to make a prison thriller better.

What a GREAT SHOW!!!!!!!

Prison Break has captured everyones attention... Breaking a prison seems to be a very boring idea because lots of movies and tv shows have used it. However Prison Break from FOX has changed everything, the story, the characters, I can believe how good this show is... I have downloaded the two seasons and I can not wait ´till august for third season.. come on!!!! Prison Break fans can not wait that long!!! Hurry Up with that season...!!!

Prison break should have been a 1 or 2 season show. The more it drags on the worse the ending will be. I love the show however I fear it will end up like 'Lost' (The show that never ends) or the 'OC' (the show that had a sudden ending). I don't know why they try and squeeze every penny out of every show... instead of making it something to remember they make it something that doesn't eventually rate..... How many shows can people watch that don't have endings.

Please finish the show this season. It should have finished when the president stepped down. Don't ruin a good thing!

Katie Lee Packs Her Knives: Breaking News from Bravo's "Top Chef"

The android has left the building. Or the test kitchen, anyway. Top Chef 's robotic host Katie Lee Joel, the veritable "Uptown Girl" herself (pictured at left), will NOT be sticking around for a second course of Bravo's hit culinary competition. According to a well-placed insider, Joel will "not be returning" to the show. No reason for her departure was cited. Unfortunately, the perfect replacement for Joel, Top Chef judge and professional chef Tom Colicchio, will not be taking over as the reality series' host (damn!). Instead, the show's producers are currently scouring to find a replacement for Joel. Top Chef 's second season was announced by Bravo last month, but no return date has been set for the series' ten-episode sophomore season. Stay tuned as this story develops. UPDATE (6/27): Bravo has now confirmed the above story .

BuzzFeed: Meet The TV Successor To "Serial"

HBO's stranger-than-fiction true crime documentary The Jinx   — about real estate heir Robert Durst — brings the chills and thrills missing since Serial   wrapped up its first season. Serial   obsessives: HBO's latest documentary series is exactly what you've been waiting for.   The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst , like Sarah Koenig's beloved podcast, sifts through old documents, finds new leads from fresh interviews, and seeks to determine just what happened on a fateful day in which the most foul murder was committed. And, also like  Serial  before it,  The Jinx may also hold no ultimate answer to innocence or guilt. But that seems almost beside the point; such investigations often remain murky and unclear, and guilt is not so easy a thing to be judged. Instead, this upcoming six-part tantalizing murder mystery, from director Andrew Jarecki ( Capturing the Friedmans ), is a gripping true crime story that unfolds with all of the speed of a page-turner; it

BuzzFeed: "The Good Wife Is The Best Show On Television Right Now"

The CBS legal drama, now in its sixth season, continually shakes up its narrative foundations and proves itself fearless in the process. Spoilers ahead, if you’re not up to date on the show. At BuzzFeed, you can read my latest feature, " The Good Wife Is The Best Show On Television Right Now," in which I praise CBS' The Good Wife and, well, hail it as the best show currently on television. (Yes, you read that right.) There is no need to be delicate here: If you’re not watching The Good Wife, you are missing out on the best show on television. I won’t qualify that statement in the least — I’m not talking about the best show currently airing on broadcast television or outside of cable or on premium or however you want to sandbox this remarkable show. No, the legal drama is the best thing currently airing on any channel on television. That The Good Wife is this perfect in its sixth season is reason to truly celebrate. Few shows embrace complexity and risk-taking in t
