Fox renews "Prison Break" for fourth season
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Fox has picked up a fourth season of "Prison Break." The network has ordered 22 episodes of the show, which will resume its run in the fall.
Thirteen episodes of the action-drama aired this season -- averaging 8.2 million viewers -- before the Hollywood writers strike shut down production.
Next season's batch will begin production in May, with shooting relocating from Dallas to Los Angeles (where Season 4's story line takes place).
A spinoff is still in development and will focus on a character that likely will be introduced next season.
