There`s No Escaping Scofield

There is nothing better than sitting in front of the TV and watching a really good show. There are quite a few great ones out there ranging everywhere from sitcoms to action/drama, but there are only a handful of shows that make viewers need to watch. One of these shows is "Prison Break". When "Prison Break" first hit the airways in early September many people were shocked and awed by the overall intensity of the show. Today, several months and 15 episodes later, fans are still sitting on the edge of their seats waiting to see what will happen, and more importantly, when it will happen.

TV?s most handsome convicts will get another term on Fox?s ?Prison Break.? Production is set to start mid-June on the show?s second season, to begin in the fall, a network spokesman said Wednesday. The hour-long drama follows a group of inmates, led by two brothers, as they plan their escape from Illinois State Prison. They will break free by the time the season wraps on May 15. The show?s sophomore season will track the men as they attempt to elude capture.

?Season 2 will be the manhunt,? series creator and executive producer Paul Scheuring told the trade paper The Hollywood Reporter. ?It will be ?The Fugitive? times eight.? Producers have not yet decided whether the show?s title will be modified or changed to reflect the convicts? on-the-lam status. They?re also staying mum on which cast members will return. Producers have announced that they?re scouting locations in New Mexico, as part of the new story line will be set in the Southwest. They?ve also said that three characters will be killed off in the last two episodes of the second season.
