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!

What's Done is Done: The Eternal Struggle Between Good and Evil on the Season Finale of "Lost"

Every story begins with thread. It's up to the storyteller to determine just how much they need to parcel out, what pattern they're making, and when to cut it short and tie it off. With last night's penultimate season finale of Lost ("The Incident, Parts One and Two"), written by Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse, we began to see the pattern that Lindelof and Cuse have been designing towards the last five seasons of this serpentine series. And it was only fitting that the two-hour finale, which pushes us on the road to the final season of Lost , should begin with thread, a loom, and a tapestry. Would Jack follow through on his plan to detonate the island and therefore reset their lives aboard Oceanic Flight 815 ? Why did Locke want to kill Jacob? What caused The Incident? What was in the box and just what lies in the shadow of the statue? We got the answers to these in a two-hour season finale that didn't quite pack the same emotional wallop of previous season

Pilot Inspektor: CBS' "Smith"

I may just have to change my original "What I'll Be Watching This Fall" post, as I sat down and finally watched CBS' new crime drama Smith this weekend. (What? It's taken me a long time to make my way through the stack of pilot DVDs.) While it's on following Gilmore Girls and Veronica Mars on Tuesday nights (10 pm ET/PT, to be exact), I'm going to be sure to leave enough room on my TiVo to make sure that I catch this compelling, amoral drama. While one can't help but be impressed by what might just be the most marquee-friendly cast in primetime--Ray Liotta, Virginia Madsen, Jonny Lee Miller, Amy Smart, Simon Baker, and Franky G all star and Shohreh Aghdashloo has a recurring role--the pilot's premise alone earned major points in my book: it's a crime drama from the point of view of the criminals, who engage in high-stakes heists. But don't be alarmed; it's nothing like NBC's short-lived Heist . Instead, think of it as The Italian

The Daily Beast: "How The Killing Went Wrong"

While the uproar over the U.S. version of The Killing has quieted, the show is still a pale imitation of the Danish series on which it is based. Over at The Daily Beast, you can read my latest feature, "How The Killing Went Wrong," in which I look at how The Killing has handled itself during its second season, and compare it to the stunning and electrifying original Danish series, Forbrydelsen , on which it is based. (I recently watched all 20 episodes of Forbrydelsen over a few evenings.) The original is a mind-blowing and gut-wrenching work of genius. It’s not necessary to rehash the anger that followed in the wake of the conclusion last June of the first season of AMC’s mystery drama The Killing, based on Søren Sveistrup’s landmark Danish show Forbrydelsen, which follows the murder of a schoolgirl and its impact on the people whose lives the investigation touches upon. What followed were irate reviews, burnished with the “burning intensity of 10,000 white-hot suns
