in the United States on September 17, 2007. Prison Break is produced by Adelstein-Parouse

Productions, in association with Rat Television, Original Television Movie and 20th Century

Fox Television. The season contains 13 episodes, and concluded on February 18, 2008. The season

was shorter than the previous two because of the Writer's Guild strike.

Prison Break revolves around two brothers: one who has been sentenced to death for a

crime he did not commit and his younger sibling, a genius who devises an elaborate plan to

help him escape prison. The two brothers escape prison in the first season, but are hunted

down during the second season and ultimately Michael is recaptured and sent to a Panamanian

jail, Penitenciaría Federal de Sona, at the end of the second season. The third season

revolves around Michael's breakout from Sona with several other inmates.

For the season, three characters are removed, and four new characters are added as series

regulars. Filming continued to take place in Dallas, Texas.

Production Filming

Unlike many other TV shows, Prison Break was primarily filmed outside of Hollywood. The

first season was primarily shot in and around Chicago, Illinois. During the second season,

filming was moved to Dallas, Texas. Filming for the third season continued to be done

in Dallas, but the price tag increased to about $3 million per episode. Several of the

exterior scenes with Lincoln and Gretchen negotiating the escape from the Panama jail

were shot in the Casco Viejo quarter of Panama City.
