'Prison Break' spinoff update
TCA -- Fox's long-rumored "Prison Break" spinoff might be less like "Private Practice" and more like "CSI: Miami."
Executive producer Matt Olmstead and co-executive producer Zack Estrin and say they've ditched their previous plan to introduce a female character in the regular series and then spin her off into a separate show. Instead, they're planning an entirely new series under the "Prison Break" brand.
"We had trouble casting for it ... then the strike happened," Olmstead says. "By the time we resumed the season we decided let's scrap that idea of doing it that way. We're in the home stretch of writing it."
"This is more like a 'CSI: NY' -- more of a brand spinoff than a character spinoff," Estrin added.
The working title remains "Cherry Hill" (possibly "Prison Break: Cherry Hill"), and it's still set in a women's prison. If the show is greenlighted, the producers hope the spinoff will pick up in the "Prison Break" time period so the shows don't air at the same time.

The part I didn't like when they first started talking about it was how they were going to introduce the new character by making her a love interest for Michael. If they don't do that...and they can't now that Sara is back...then I'll probably watch. |

Its the same writers as prison break, so I know it will be full of twists and shockers. Also its something on the same parallel as PB so characters from PB, theoretically could be seen in them . And after PB goes "bye bye", it might be nice to know they might appear once in a full moon on this. |

I feel like I grow more of a connection with tv actors then wit Movie ones and don't get to see them as often. I don't even mean in the media but rather in projects. The good movie actors stop working so much after they have prestige. It feels like TV actors work double as hard. Because each show is like their little baby and lasts for so much longer. |

I just don't fancy it. I've seen a female prison drama before and this just doesn't interest me. But I'm happy you lot are going to give it a go  |
