Prison Break Relocation
It seems that Prison Break will probably move production from North Texas to Los Angeles for next season, officials confirmed Friday.
“The producers have an exciting idea for next season’s storylines, and unfortunately, it may require moving the series back to Los Angeles for creative reasons,” said Chris Alexander, a spokesperson for 20th Century Fox Television.
The show has not officially been picked up for its fourth season, but apparently writers rethought the storyline during the three-month Writers Guild of America strike. Prison Break’s crew was informed of the potential move this week, said Janis Burklund, head of the Dallas Film Commission. “We haven’t given up on it,” she said of the show. “I’ve been calling producers and asking what can we do, if anything, to keep this here.”
The news of the potential move came suddenly, Ms. Burklund said, after the Dallas Film Commission was already in negotiations to keep Prison Break in North Texas for two more years, long enough to assure the show of syndication. The two additional seasons would have meant direct spending of $61.6 million and an economic impact of $154 million, she said.
“We’re all bummed out,” Ms. McAlister said.
“Shooting the past two seasons of Prison Break in Dallas has been a fantastic experience, and we are enormously grateful to this talented community of production people, actors and vendors,” Fox’s Mr. Alexander said.

if they are moving to los angeles it probably means that season 4 will have more of a city atmosphere to whereas season 3 had a poor third world country feel to.
Also this move could mean the end of the line for Bellick, Sucre and T Bag because the sona set is in Texas

Or maybe the storyline will be back inthe US. Remember when they shoot season 2 it was suppose to be all over. I thought they might go back to Chicago.

Yes yes yes! Since I live in L.A. I’m very pleased to hear that. Michael could rescue Sara (I still believe she’s alive) and live happily ever after with her. How about a very boring and Friends-like forth season with losts of births and starbucks-vistits? ;-)

Well, at least PB isn’t like any other shows where they just stay in L.A. Season 1 has Chicago, Seasons 2 & 3 in Dallas & 4 in L.A. Looks like the escapees aren’t the only ones on the run! It should be more convenient for most of the actors involved (especially Wentworth) because most of them are based in L.A.

Please let Sara still be alive, Maybe witch lady cut off somebody elses head that looked like Sara just to scare Linc. Maybe the company couldn’t kill her because she was pregnant with Michael baby and they shipped her back to Chicago. Yea, that sounds good, but have her still be pregnant when she reunites with Micheal and live happily ever after. It’s what we all need in a world with to much bad stuff going on.

So Season 4 will be pretty much like Season 1. City atmosphere. Revolves around The Company then. Should this be the final season, I will be happy & sad at the same time.
Happy because everybody will finally stop running.
Sad because I will not see the brothers again. Hmm…
