Here are a few spoilers from The_Man! Someone even asks about the validity of this French Interview! Speaking of that interview, until I see Wentworth say it somewhere else, I'm not sure I buy it. I could be wrong, but I'm very skeptical! Anyway, enjoy the spoilers!

Jenzy: The Man, is it true that there will be 22 episodes of Prison Break this season? Is that confirmed? I know that the episode order before wasn't exactly clear. I think even Nick Santora couldn't confirm the exact episode number. However, I read that PB is now casting a character for episode 16 who is said to be in 7 future episodes. AND I just read that Sarah Chronicles was recently picked up for a full 22 episodes.
The_Man: i don't think there has been an official announcement about it, but from what i have heard there will be 22 episodes.
Jenzy: Thanks, The_Man, for the confirmation. Some articles are even saying that there might be a chance for a season five for PB, have you heard anything like that yet, The_Man?
The_Man: it's hard to say at this point. the ratings are doing okay to keep it on this season, but if the show goes on for another season it is likely the show would drop some viewers again and that might put it at a point where it could be in jeopardy. ending the show this season on a positive would be better than trying to force another season which could get cancelled and leave everything unresolved.
Jenzy: Looking at the other shows on other networks, it seems that the television viewing as a whole went down a lot this year perhaps as a result of the strike, though. NBC has a ton of shows that are getting 5-6 million viewers per episode, yet they picked them up for a full season. I heard recently that Life was picked up. Knight Rider was also picked up for a full season a while back. And those shows are getting an average of 5 million viewers. Even the shows on ABC, such as Pushing Daisies and Dirty Sexy Money are getting 5-6 million too.
A ton of shows are down by a lot this year.
I'm hoping that FOX would give PB a season five to at least finish up all the storylines. I don't think they could finish everything up by season four. Each episode is like a piece of a puzzle. And I'm truly enjoying season four thus far. It's like a new and fresh show. Everything is so exciting. So I'd like to see PB continue for as long as possible. I think there are still a ton of storylines left to tell in season five. And the show can remain fresh and unique.
FOX produces PB, right? I've heard it's also not that expensive to make episodes of PB. A ton of other shows are a lot more expensive. Plus, PB is a huge hit in the other countries. The DVDs are selling extremely well.
By the way, I've heard that PB will be filming till February. So that means that FOX probably has to make a decision soon about season five, right? So the writers know what is going on? However, my main issue is that I think PB can do a LOT better in ratings when it comes back from its usual hiatus. If FOX gives it a good lead in, then I think PB's ratings could increase. I just don't think SCC helps PB at all as the lead in. Now, I'm kind of hoping that FOX would wait with their decision till the other 9 episodes air after the hiatus. Then, again, I don't know how that will work since filming will end before the show will come back. What do you think? Will FOX wait till May to decide on season five? Or more likely in December? I think the cast might be able to film two alternative endings just in case.
The_Man: It is true that most shows are down in viewers this year and it has a lot to do with the strike. Prison Breaks ratings are okay for this season, but since they are dropping about 2 million viewers a year, to add a 5th season and then only have the show get about 4 million viewers seems to indicate the show would face cancellation before it had a chance to finish off that season. It seems like it would be better off to be able to finish the series and tie up all loose ends and answer any questions, then to have the show suddenly pulled and having the fans get no resolution.
Yes Fox does produce PB, and it isn't as expensive as some other shows to film, but it is not cheap either. Especially with a larger cast...which is getting smaller. Even though PB is a big hit in other countries and the DVD's sell well, that money doesn't always go back to the production costs to make the show. There are many different division in FOX. The TV show on being shown is part of Television Distribution, but when it is released on DVD it is part of Home Entertainment.
Even if Prison Break films until Feb, and then the decision is made to go back and renew or not renew the show, There will be enough time to go back to do reshoots if they need to change some things. Filming two different versions is also a possibility. Right now though, it is still up in the air although there has been discussion of adding 2 more episodes for this season, but that is just the Producers saying they want to make them, it doesn't mean that they will air. But it is still to early to tell.
Insanity: when will we see LJ and Sophia again this season?
The_Man: i'm actually not sure about when they will reappear, however if this does end up being the last season, i'm sure they will turn up near the end.
Cybuch7: Will see Nika Volek in this season ? Will see Henry Pope in this season ? Sory for my bad English
The_Man: i highly doubt you will see either of them
kir20: The man (or anyone else who knows), what episode is filming right now and when do the cast and crew go in hiatus?
The_Man: i think they are on ep 16 right now. i'm not sure when they are taking a break. i think they may take some time off for the holidays and then film through February.
kir20: The man, another question. do the contracts for all the actors end in may or june 09? just curious as to weather or not they end at that point.
The_Man: that is an interesting question. several of the main cast had 7 year contracts...dom, went. amaury, rob. so they would be locked into the show unless their character is written out of the show. fichtner is year to year so after this season he could leave. i think swc was just renewed for this season....not really sure about the others.
DaDave: Will wee see or will we know what it means with 10.000 People, Laos and the Company?
The_Man: i actually do not remember what happens with this.
kir20: The man, one more question but do you know weather the recent French interview with Wentworth Miller was true or not? apparently he said this is definitely the final season and even if there was another one he wouldn't want to be a part of it. not sure if its completely fake or not.
The_Man: i have no idea if the interview is real or fake
Jenzy: The_Man, I recently read that two more episodes have officially been ordered for PB this season, making it a 24 episodes season 4. So does that mean that this is the last season of PB? The articles all say that it is the reasoning behind adding two additional hours. I'm just wondering if you know anything about it.
The_Man: i'm not sure if it was offically announced if there were going to be 2 more episodes, but that is what they are thinking about doing. and it would most likely be used to end the series. whether or not they will actually do the extra 2 episodes i'm not sure yet, but either way it seems like this will be the last season.
The_Man: i don't think there has been an official announcement about it, but from what i have heard there will be 22 episodes.
