"Overall, the season's going to be a mix between The Great Escape and American Idol," Prison Break creator and executive producer, Paul Scheuring revealed. "People are going to slowly fall by the wayside. We're going to pare away one escapee after another after another until only one's left standing. It's going to be fun, and we're playing for keeps. The audience is going to understand that from the very first episode – that no characters are sacred."
Last season, loyal fans stuck with the show despite a lengthy mid-season break, one they'll have to endure again in the coming season if FOX's recently announced 2006/07 schedule remains unchanged. This year, however, the producers are anticipating the hiatus. Said Scheuring, "Last year we were apprised of it after starting to shoot the 13th episode, which made this false cliffhanger. This year we're anticipating it."
The new season starts shooting in ten days!
Here's hoping it's just as good, if not better, than the first one.
