Ratner's PRISON BREAK Gets A Second Season!!
SPOILER ALERT !!
I am – Hercules!!
Daily Variety reports Wednesday morning that “Prison Break” - executive-produced by, among other people, Brett Ratner - apparently did well enough last week opposite “Deal or No Deal,” “The King of Queens,” “Wife Swap” and “Related” to merit a second season.
"Season two is basically ‘Prison Break: Manhunt,’” reveals another executive producer, Matt Olmstead. Read all the gory details here.

i love this show, even though it requires the viewer to abandon all logic every step of the way. incredibly entertaining despite being mind blowingly ridiculous.
-
stretching a one note premise into another season. i can see the future success *cough cough*
-
I think I'll just wait till it's over and have one bigass marathon.
-
I love this show, but I really wish it wasn't getting a second season. If any show deserved to be a stand-alone, this was it.
-
This show plays alot better than Lost does week to week, that's for darn sure. Aside from Scofield's MacGuyver tendencies, the annoying Kid of Lincon's Loins, and the homoerotic subtext between the two agents of the VP (thankfully, one of 'em done got capped) this show is way awesome. Yes, I had a hate on for it too for having been indirectly responsible for Arrested Development's demise, but I have forgiven. And thankfully so, because it kicks ass.
-
I actually really enjoy this show, so it's a little suprising that i'm actually disappointed to find out it has another series. It's the kind of show that should be a one-off and remembered for just being a good ride all the way. Instead, we now know for a fact they aren't escaping at the end of the season and it's just going to drag and drag and lose everybody's interest. Step forward Prison Break and say hello to banality.
-
Hey, this show is entertaining as hell because of its intricacies of escape and its characters - the show has always stood by the premise that the breakout was only part of the story - I think we'll see imaginative riffs on manhunts, the need to rein in or dispose of T-bag and the grand conspiracy that must be stopped and exposed for Lincoln to be cleared and Michael to get the doctor... I think the writers are up to the challenge, personally...
-
Actually I thought that if the premise was "Manhunt" that it would indicate they DO escape at the end of this season and go on the run. Kind of like the Fugitive but with the dopey older brother getting into trouble and brainbox figuring out intricate ways to stop the cops catching them
-
This thing makes Manimal look like freaking Shakespeare. Really, really bad writing, acting, direction
-
I like this show, but quit watching because I thought it was CANCELLED just like every other interesting Fox serial. Glad to know it's back on the air.
-
But the show reels you in. It's highly entertaining. Sure you could sit there and pick apart the plot and ruin it. But why do so when it's so damn entertaining. The prison riot episodes this season were probably up there with 24. And it helps that the acting is good.
-
A season 2 would be interesting, given that the government is involved with the conspiracy, you can go a bit further. But I think they should call it quits after season 3.
-
Will it go Non-Stop like 24 next year?
-
I'm really not sure how I feel about the show. I've missed a number of episodes, and it hasn't really engaged me because of the aforementioned silly aspects of much of it...but that said, I'm intrigued by the teasers for next week which will apparently get into the back stories a little bit. Maybe that'll put it over the top for me. I also think it could've gotten pretty damn interesting if they'd actually killed Linoln and put Michael in the worst of all hells, having failed to save him and now being stuck in prison anyway, motivated only by revenge to get out.
-
Entertainment Weekly recently ran a massive piece on the show, and the producers said they're working on a three-year plan. The second season focuses on the manhunt. And it was not-too-subtly hinted that season three would feature a prison break-IN.
-
WTF is wrong with these people? Variety's retarded attempts at being hip enrage me more than racism.
-
Count me among those waiting to plow through this show once the DVD box arrives.
-
of course .. once it becomes a cash cow .. sequal .. manhunt makes sense though ... darn .. like that idea of a Titanic sequal .. they all now live in a city under water ...
-
The whole shebang. I'd watch it.
-
I can't say I have gotten into it just yet. But it holds promise. I am really looking forward to the flashback episode next week.
-
I mean come on, it can not be this hard to break out of prison! can it? Plus Wentworth Miller is one of the worst actors I have ever seen. They obviously casted him for his looks. Not his acting ability.
-
I actually thought this WAS the second season that was airing... damn those shows with non-stop airings! Spoiling me! :-)
-
Ireland gets its first Irish based Digital channel called Channel 6. Prison Break, Numbers and House are some of the shows that are going to be airiing as well as Buffy the vampire slayer(re-run), The Sopranos(first 5 series), Movies, Irish pop music shows. Will see how well it does, Prison break sounds dopey, though.
-
Once they get out of the prison - SHOW OVER. At least from a conceptual POV. The prison BREAK was the cool thing about this show. Does anyone even care about the VP's BROTHER conspiracy? Yeah, sure the second season may be interesting, but if it is a manhunt in the REAL WORLD then it might as well be 24. If this show was ballsy, they would fail the break, the bro. would get the chair, and season two would be the boys trying to REALLY break out to save their lives.
-
Wow, great to hear it's getting a 2nd season. They could do the manhunt for the 2nd season, then have someone, likely the brother get caught at the end of season 2, and season 3 would be them trying to break him out, but from the outside. Also, is anyone else noticing this talkback is being pretty friendly towards the show, No haters are coming out comparing the shows plot to a partial birth abortion etc. Maybe they're finally maturing.
-
I will admit it, I like "Prison Break" also. I don't understand how they will be able to explain some of the plot holes, namely the big gapping one in the floor of the guard's shed.
I mean, won't the guards start wondering why it is taking so damn long for the cons to finish their work? Wouldn't you think someone else could possibly go into the shed at some point to assess the damage and stumble across the hole?
And wouldn't you think that when the guards do random cell checks, as I assume they do, wouldn't they notice the toilet is not attached to the wall? In fact, how did Michael manage to move the toilet anyways? Aren't there pipes attached to it? I would think there would be a lot of water all over the place each time Michael snuck back there.
So yeah, the show is entertaining and way over the top, but I like it. Not as much as I liked "Arrested Development" mind you, but I never blamed "Prison Break" for the loss of AD, just the idiots running FOXs advertising department.
True story. -
break out at the end of the first season and be on the run for the first half of the second. Then in the second half of the second season they get caught for something in Mexico and thrown into jail. There they would have to break out of jail again before those looking for them in the US find out they are in a Mexican jail.
-
definately getting up there with 24
question though..was Wentworth Miller and Hayden Christensen seperated at birth or what !
-
He had one for the prison..so does that mean one "For the road"..(Get it ?)..Boooo me later...
-
Otherwise he's not going to be easy to miss in a manhunt in which the police randomly ask people to roll up their sleeves. But is anyone going to watch a second season? Surely people just watch to see how the breakout plan operates. I doubt if most people care about the characters - just the precipitously high concept. Once that's gone interest will wane.
-
Don't you think it's ime for this show to have a weekly talk back? What do you say Herc? Just because it doesn't feature any of those hacky fucking Buffy writers that you suck off even when they produce shit like THE INSIDE ( I mean really??? who the fuck watched that piece of shit beside herc????) doesn't mean that the best new drama of last year should not have it's own talk back
-
"Buffy" vet Marti Noxon works as a consulting producer on "Prison Break."
-
SNAKES ON A PLANE!!!!!!!!!
...GFY -
Really, how in your infinite wisdom, have judged Prison Break to have horrible direction? Honest and true. Or is it that you're just an X-3 Hatin Harry Knowles Following Zombie Fanboy and you know Ratner directed the pilot so you threw out "direction" in there when you have no effing clue what you're talking about. Really, now.

Season 3 Prison Break: Mayhem In Mexico
Season 4 Prison Break: Extradition
Season 5 Prison Break: Again -
Listen knob gobbler. If you watch the new episodes you will see that Marti Noxon is no longer on the show. But I'm sure in the short time she was there she added her "buffy genius." YOU FUCKING NERD!
-
I remembered that Marti Noxon was associated with the show from the press "Prison Break" got at the beginning of its run. You, however, read the credits closely enough every week to know that she's not listed anymore. And you call me the nerd? Hilarious.
-
Prison Break becomes Spring Break - bwa haw haw haw haw (cough cough).
-
You better lock your moms basement door cause I'm gonna come beat your ass in like 23 minutes.
-
I think Wentworth's acting is not the best, but he's like Chloe from 24. For some reason you forgive the bad acting. I still think Abruzzi and Lincoln and that creepy gay guy you always want to bash his face in because he's so evil, act circles around everyone though. The show is good. Season 2 will hopefully be good as well. They just need to kill Robin Tunney as she always does the stupidest shit on the show. And Dr. Tancredi, will she be back next season if they flee? Will she go on the run with Wentworth and the gang? One more thing, the visual look of the show looks like House, Bones, and 24. Does Fox use a certain camera for their hour long drama's?
-
he's playing a particularly intense character with a distinctive style. Of course, most of the plots are ridiculous, but it shares this and the suspense with 24, which make both entertaining shows, if you don't think about them too hard. Of course, I kinda dig the show as a metaphor for a descent into the underworld (the subconscious) and the trials of initiation to emerge from the darkness back into the light, but then again I'm an esoterica freak.
-
I'm not sure if it's been 23 minutes yet, but I'm just curious if you beat ZakChases ass yet? Did he put up a good fight? Did he take your advice and lock his basement door? If so, how did you get in?
-
Seriously.
-
i mean, people might want to watch that.
-
"It's all fun and games...until someone gets RAPED!" No shit.
-
tatooed the escape plans on his body?!, laughed at that then immediately changed the channel, STUPID, FUCKING RIDICULOUS SHIT!!! Had to be from rat turd ,ratner
-
Trim Master...Hehe, not sure where you came up with that User ID. Anyway, is sounds like you are just getting your "big boy" voice. So why spoil your freshly grown intellect in a talkback section about a sub par show like Prison Break? You should take your "I'm young, dumb and full of piss, shit and vinegar" to a more refined area of AICN. Oh, BTW, did you get your little beat on the poor Zakchase? Or did his mother find you downstairs and kick YOUR ass? Hmmm, keep us posted.
-
That's all you got? "It sucks"? And the tattoos aren't literal ffs, they're memory aids, encoded in such a way that only he knows what they mean. How would you have snuck those dozens of details in?
-
It's needed for this series and several others. But see, that's the point of non-reality programming in my mind. Crap, if all hour-long dramas were realistic, they'd bore the hell out of viewers. When I watch these shows, I don't want reality. I want to be entertained. And Prison Break, 24, and Lost provide that entertainment. So if you really want to watch things that aren't ridiculous or over the top, try C-SPAN. Wait... that might not be the best example...
-
so I'm waiting for the DVDs. Though, if they get put back in jail for the 2nd season, I seriously may not even bother. Talk about rehashing.
-
When they axed Dino Velvet. Though I guess season 2 would answer what it would be like if No 6 got off the island.
