We’re now getting the latest scoop from the Fox TCA – and it seems that a Prison Break Spin-Off is definitely in the works!!
Matt Olmstead says that he and coexec producer Zack Estrin are right in the middle of rewriting the Prison Break spinoff. “We are finishing the script,” Olmstead told Kristin. “Then we’ll cast it, and then we’ll hopefully shoot it and get it on the air.”
The strike upset the original plan to introduce Molly and they couldn’t get their dream picks to move to Dallas, so Olmstead said the move to Los Angeles will help with the casting.
Estrin added, “The new show will be more like CSI Miami is to CSI and less a spinoff, because it will be a new character altogether.”
And the notion of someone breaking out of prison may be an element, but it is not going to be the focus of the show.
“It’s not an escape format, at least in the beginning,” Estrin says. “It’s like an undercover format. Someone who was being used inside for information to find things out and if anyone finds out what she’s doing, it’s a big, big problem. So it’s more of like a Departed format. We don’t want to do the same thing with breasts. There would be a different vibe and a different drive to the show. More like, ‘You don’t know who to trust.’”
Thoughts?

Kristin………….where the hell did she get that information. Gretchen Files is a fact see IMDb Jodi Lyn O’keefe her profile by new projects. So Kristin knows nothing.
i would definately watch it!! especially after how season 4 started! it was terrable!!! i think if they put sara in prison with michael helping to break hey out, that would be AWSOME!!!
The main character isn’t always introduced in the first TV show. For example, the spin-off of “Verliebt in Berlin” (the base of Ugly Betty) is about Lisa’s brother, but he didn’t appear in the first show.
@justin and Anne,
A spinoff is a television series where the protagonist was introduced on an earlier show.
The best example right now would be Private Practice, where the main character, Dr. Addison Montgomery was introduced and was part of the cast of Grey’s Anatomy.
@justin,
As for the case for Prison Break:Cherry Hill,
Yes it is related to Prison Break since the main female protagonist will be introduced towards the end of Prison Break Season 4.
It has something to do with prison break out, but not Prison Break (i.e. the characters and storyline of this spinoff will not involve the brothers and the conspiracy behind them).
I hope you got that, don’t get confused ya :)
soryy but what is a spinn off ??

Hi everyone (not mentioning names)
Wow so there is a PB spin-off. Well that’s good. But a little too soon for my liking.

Actually there you go.
Horrible news! If this show is going to be a completely different vibe and scenario why does it have to be a spin-off?
The producers must be must not be confident that they can write another show that can match Prison Break’s success. So they are going to try to copy & paste a whole fan base. It COULD be a decent show; I don’t think anyone here denies the quality of production for PB. When the Cherry Hill rumor was floating around it seemed like a cheap attempt to lure a large demographic of female viewers (Mrs. Wentworth’s) into watching this new Spin-off with a woman as a their protagonist. It’s a poor tactless gimmicked promotion. It would be a struggle to green-light the new series without dragging a safety net of Prison Break fans who were left with an open/lousy ending.
I don’t want to watch it!!
Hello guys!!
I’m much better now and there are many new comments here and I can’t wait till tomorrow to leave another comment!
First of all I want to thank you guys for the comments about my exams!!! :)
@Tabitha
I’ve explained the point system about the exams at the Greek universities at another post! I’m sure that I’ve failed at the other two courses but it’s ok cause there’s always next time!
I wish I’ll pass at September cause the new semester starts at October and I don’t want to have to retake courses from the previous semesters at the new exams at January! I have faith!! :)
Oh yeah it was really hot today! I think it was about 35 degrees Celsius!
@Sona44
The first time I saw the short version of my name I remembered the scene at the flashback episode of S1 at which Michael saw Veronica at the bar and called her V! I like this version!! :)
I looooove ice cream!!
I could eat ice cream and souvlaki (a traditional Greek food) every day!! :p
Well, I eat ice cream almost every day!
Oh you have Went and Sarah as your desktop background!! I don’t have a pic of them as a background, but the alarm clock at my cell phone rings with Went’s voice at “Blues in the night”!!
It’s really good to wake up by his voice! :)
@Enroc
You’re back!!
I’m not gonna watch the spin-off for 2 reasons!
One, Went won’t be at this so the main motivation is gone!
Two, I’ll always compare it to PB so I won’t think it’s good! Maybe it will be, but the “winner” of this comparison will definitely be PB!
@MiSa
thank you for the promo pic!!!
Mahone and Bellick are with the “good” guys!
T-Bag and his funny moustache are with the “bad” guys…
Gretchen has a new haircut!
Wyatt is really scary…
It’s so good to see Sara back!!
Actually this is the first official promo appearance of Sara!!!
I was thinking about Sara’s escape and I realised that she left LJ…
I hope there wasn’t any way to take him with her. I’ll be really disappointed if she could and she didn’t!
@Justin
I don’t ignore you!
English isn’t my first language and I just don’t know how to explain this about the spin-off!
“people who say they arent gonna watch will watch it obv.”
No, i really wont be.
OMG guys go to Spoiler Tv right now !! There’s a cast promo photo, ooh why does Michael wear this … jacket lol ?? And Sara wears heels =D
Whistler, Sofia and LJ aren’t here …
I will give it a chance….prison storylines intrigue me both in shows and tv so I’ll give it a chance…hard to repeat the pb success though
