Breakout Kings; Prison Break Spinoff

"Prison Break" fans who still e-mail us about bringing the show back to the small screen, this one's for you:

Executive producers Matt Olmstead and Nick Santora have a new prison-breaking-related drama -- "Breakout Kings" -- that will premiere on A&E on March 13.

As Santora said at the Television Critics Assn. press tour Friday, "It's not about breaking out of prison. It's about what happens after they break out."

More on that later.

Drum roll please: T-Bag will be in an episode of the show. Yes, T-Bag! Robert Knepper will reprise his memorable "Prison Break" role in an episode. T-Bag breaks out of Fox River -- again! -- and the race is on!

So you don't get Michael Scofield to rise from the dead, but you get T-Bag. Please don't e-mail me with more "Prison Break" requests. Let's accept that the writers have moved on.

Back to that.

"Breakout Kings" is a new fast-paced drama about a deal that the U.S. Marshals Office makes with a group of convicts to help them catch fugitives (you know, same idea as USA's "White Collar" but with a lot more grit and people).

Laz Alonzo ("Avatar") and Domenick Lombardozzi ("The Wire") play veteran U.S. Marshals who take the unconventional approach to fighting crimes. Their special task force is played by Jimmi Simpson ("It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia"), Malcolm Goodwin ("American Gangster") and Serinda Swan ("Smallville"); Brooke Nevin plays a civilian who assists the group.

Unlike "Prison Break," the show has a humorous side, and the producers said they are also enjoying writing close-ended episodes. But that doesn't mean viewers won't get to know the characters on a deeper level.

"It's a bit of a balance in that you get to know them as they are investigating the case," Olmstead said. "The conceit of the show is such that there's a finite amount of time that you have to catch this fugitive. So it's not like they punch out and they go home and have dinner with the wife and kids and address their background in that matter. It's on the fly and through their craft."

So I watched the pilot and the show looks like it has potential.

I liked it too. I'm sure T-Bags appearance will draw a few people in, but it seems like they have a solid idea and decent wresting so far.

What?
Ehh... I saw this on some preview before the previews at the movies. I wasn't really too interested by the premise but, the sight of Knepper did intrigue me a little. Maybe I'll give it a shot if I see it on TV some time. :shrug:

They're making a big deal of T-Bag's (short lived) return on Prison Break's Facebook page. Can't wait.

That's the one that should tell you if the show has a chance. If they can't make the T-Bag story great, there is no hope.

T-Bag is the man. I just hope the show doesn't need to bring back guys like him to keep it interesting.

You are just broken.

No Shit.

I completely missed this show, not sure if season 1 has even aired over here yet. Is it worth watching or is it missable, there's so much TV I need to catch up on right now :lol:

A King will fall? Maybe it's the chick because something happens to her kid.

The chick is already a replacement for the other girl from the pilot, the psychologist dude is the best character on the show, the girl with the disorder about being around people has the whole thing with the Dr. prisoner, little Michael Chiklis has his whole redemption storyline going, so that leaves (cue the show stereotypes of the black guy dying first ) the black gang banger and the black dude in charge. I'm thinking it's the black guy in charge. He already has a heart condition and putting a new hard ass in charge of the team would add a twist to the story. That is if "fall" means someone dies.
