CUFFS NEW CAST MEMBERS


Prison Break's Michael Scofield and Lincoln Burrows are coming back for another year on the lam and under the microscope of a secret organization, but they won't be alone.

Two new cast members of the Fox drama were announced and will join the show as regulars for its third season. Robert Wisdom and Jodi Lyn O'Keefe join Wentworth Miller (Michael) and Dominic Purcell (Lincoln), says The Hollywood Reporter, but will both play very different roles.


PRISON BREAK PICKED UP


For a show that was once primed to be a short-lived miniseries, Prison Break sure is exceeding its life expectancy. The Fox drama wrapped up its third season earlier this year, and fans of the show have been eagerly awaiting word on a fourth-season pickup.

Fans will still have to wait for official word on a fourth-season pickup, but for those who only need unofficial word, news over the weekend was great. Prison Break executive producer Nick Santora dished this bit of info: Season four has been picked up.

Santora also confirmed the Prison Break crew's move from the Dallas, Texas area to its new digs in Los Angeles. Though Santora notes his new office on the Fox lot is "about half the size with just a tiny window," he's stoked about the opportunity to be back in business with the people he likes.

Wentworth: Last Season of Prison Break?


Wentworth Miller has hinted that Season 4 may be the last season of Prison Break. Well, if that's true, they damn well better make sure it's a good one.

"Miller is due to start filming the fourth series of 'Prison Break' this month, and although he remains tight lipped about the plot, he has hinted this could be the final season. He added to Britain's Glamour magazine: "I really feel there's a beginning, middle and an end to this story and my gut feeling is that we're on the last leg of the journey."

Two New Characters


Finally, finally, finally! News is pouring in on Season 4 of Prison Break, which will return in the fall. TV Guide's Ausiello has this to say about the new characters we'll meet in Season 4:


"Two new players in the war between Scofield and the Company will be introduced in the season premiere. On one side we have Don, an FBI handler who offers Michael a way to bring down the Company once and for all. And on the other side we have Penrab, the Company's top assassin who's waiting on the sidelines for his chance to attack. "
