FOX has officially announced today that Prison Break
would be back for a third season. But many sources say that the show
will get a major overhaul, including a possible change in the show's
title.
The FOX's press release announcing the renewal gives
nothing about what Season 3 may hold. But series creator Paul T.
Scheuring has been giving many hints, including at least one that may have fans shake on their seat hoping that the creator changes his mind.
No matter what, Prison Break was never intended to be a long-running series. At first, people behind the show though it could
last three seasons being laid out as follows: Season 1 = in prison,
Season 2 = on the run, Season 3 = back in prison; but that the best
plan was surely only two season. However good ratings have made FOX
order a third season. With how they mapped the second season, which
includes wrapping up most (if not all) of the storylines, Prison Break needs to reinvent itself and here is how they plan to do it.
(Warning! Spoilers about season 3 coming up!)
Variety
reports that Season 3 will see the addition of at least four new cast
members. These new faces will be two men and two women, none of which
American. This could mean that Michael will be stuck in Panama for a
while? Speaking of him, The Hollywood Reporter
adds that one of the brothers (Michael or Lincoln) may leave the show
during the Fall. It is unknown if they plan to kill one of them or have
that person vanish in thin air. No matter, the brothers have been the
core of the show since the pilot. Could the series survive without one
of them? Considering that Sara will be back, does it mean that Lincoln
would more than likely be the one heading out? Because how can Sara be
in the show with Lincoln? They don't get along that much.
TV Guide's interview
with Paul T. Scheuring reveals that Sara will be missing for a few of
the early episodes since the actress will be on maternity leave.
However, Sara will not be pregnant on the show. The show will still be
produced in Dallas but scenes will also be shot in Florida and
Louisiana. Scheuring adds that more than half of the current cast will
be back.
BuddyTV reports
that a love interest for one of the current cast will be introduced
next season. The article lists comments from Scheuring saying that "The
only thing I will say at this stage is that it will be a much more
stripped-down, brutal, violent version of the show than we've seen in
the past."
Many rumors say that the show will come back with a
new name since the "prison break" has occurred in Season 1. However,
some reports say that Lincoln may be the one trying to break Michael
out of a bad situation (maybe he'll be behind bars in Panama?) so could
the title still work? Can the show survive a title change as it may
have people think that Prison Break was cancelled or have writers forget what Prison Break was all about and change the format to go along with the new title?
No
matter, I will still watch the show even if it has a new title as long
as it doesn't forget about the show's central theme: the bond and story
of two brothers.
The answer to the question that has been on every prison break fan’s lips is right here. Yes there will be a season 3. Season 3 of Prison Break (which may have a different name announced soon) will be premiered on 29th August 2007, almost 5 months after the season 2 finale. Most of the conspiracy storyline (about 90%) will be wrapped up by the end of season 2, and the third season will have a completely new plot. Scheuring quotes “The audience will definitely get closure. It'll feel like this is the endgame of the story, and yet there will be a few unanswered questions."
The third season will have eight major roles, including new additions to the cast. Most of the surviving crew will be brought together somehow, and there will be one or two new faces. When asked about the fate of Mahone played by William Fichtner, fans were told that Scheuring was very happy with William, hinting that Mahone will make a comeback in season 3.
One of the new additions is a female character who is Michael’s equivalent in intelligence, and she will act as a love interest for one of the guys. Who will it be? Your guess is as good as mine. Scheuring also let slip “And she would seem to be coming down on the side of good initially, but there will be questions [about] whether that's a facade.”
Ausiello quotes: “Paul Scheuring also teased that Season 3 would feature "a different storytelling process" that will begin to "play out in the last couple episodes of Season 2" and "leave some cliff-hangers, including one with Sara."
Sara Tancredi fans may have been worried that she may be killed off because the actress playing her, Sarah Wayne Callies, is pregnant, but Ausiello assures us that she’s safe. He says that Paul Scheuring won’t kill her off because he believes that Sara Tancredi is a strong component in the show. Sarah is due in the late summer, which coincides with the premiere of season 3, and she will be gone for a while, but will be back soon after the birth of her child. Scheuring says that her disappearance will fit into the plot, but refuses to confirm rumours of Sara Tancredi being kidnapped. Season three will provide some of our favourite characters with redeeming moments. Michael Scofield's tattoo still has one more important role to play before the second season ends. Not everyone at the Paley Festival Event will survive to see season three. The show will continue to shoot in Dallas for season three, with secondary units covering Florida and Lousiana. The cast present at the Paley Festival were Dominic Purcell (Lincoln Burrows), Sarah Wayne Callies (Sara Tancredi), Robert Knepper (T-Bag), Wade Williams (Captain Brad Bellick), Rockmond Dunbar (C-Note) and Amaury Nolasco (Sucre).
그리고 석호필이 시즌3까지의 전개를 다 짰을까 하는 의문이 드는데..
시즌2 마지막 에피소드가 기대될 뿐입니다.
