No Prison Break Spin-Off Planned

In yesterday’s conference call, Matt Olmstead also chatted about the originally proposed Prison Break spin-off.

“There’s no plan for a Prison Break spin-off. We did a script for what would be establishing a character in season three,” Olmstead said in answer to the question from The Deadblot News. “A female character, and then spinning her off into, essentially, a female prison show.”

“And there were a couple hurdles involved. We couldn’t get the actress, the strike happened, and when we came back the show was in its last season. You know, The Sarah Conner Chronicles wasn’t doing that great and there’s a host of reasons why that idea, that project, cooled. Who’s to say if it could get a spark again? I’m not counting on it. You know, my days aren’t based around it, but for me the show is done.”

Matt said there is nothing in the stages, and although it is not officiall dead, it’s not likely. “It’s on the ground, leg is twitching, but there is still a heartbeat perhaps.”

Thanks, that answers that question, but the reply we couldn’t find the right actress! What about the hundreds of thousands of actresses that are out of work? They couldn’t of looked that hard.
Sarah Wayne Callies said when she went for her audition a Fox it was only her and another woman that was job done in one day, so it was possible if they really wanted to hire an actress. Cop out more like, maybe they knew they were flogging a dead horse with the script.
