Breakout Kings (A&E TV Series)

[Rappy Veteran]

Talk about a no-brainer: Former Prison Break producers Matt Olmstead and Nick Santora are courting Robert Knepper to appear in their new A&E fugitive-themed drama Breakout Kings. The best part? The plan is for Knepper to resurrect his classic PB convict T-Bag!

According to sources, execs at 20th Century Fox ? the studio behind Prison and Kings ? have signed off on the crossover. Now a deal just needs to be hammered out with Knepper, whose killer PB alter ego was sent back to the slammer in the show?s series finale.

Kings, which is described as an ?action-packed ensemble drama following an unconventional partnership between the U.S. Marshals? office and a group of convicts as they work to catch fugitives on the run,? received an 11th hour reprieve last spring from A&E after Fox opted not to pick it up. It?s set to premiere in early 2011.

Check out the show?s first official promo below!

On an unrelated noted, he is or was on Stargate Universe which was surprising to me.

Could be a breakout show for A&E. I'm excited!

Haha so.. let me tell you that for the first few seasons, I could not stand that mfkr! I mean hello, why would I like a pedo? I hated when PB got you to actually feel for T-Bag for a bit.

I'll probably watch it to see how it is because I'm a sadist.

Yeah I couldn't stand him either or the show tbh but then he got really cool.

He got a bit boring, a double-cross is only a good plot device when it's least expected. Everyone expected it.

looks like ... *puts sunglasses* he's back in the bag :cool:

[Jase]

Looks interesting..but the promo does not do anything for me.

The Beast.

Well it could have been anyhow.

I've been seeing T-Bag (Robert Knepper) almost everywhere lately. He was just in an episode of Chase and as someone mentioned already, Stargate Universe, he's in a bunch there. I didn't care for him either at the beginning of Prison Break either for obvious reasons as mentioned.

I will give this show a watch. A&E show's are usually pretty good too. Not sure if anyone has ever watched The Cleaner or The Beast but they were really good and short lived before they were canceled. We obviously know why The Beast was canceled but The Cleaner could of lasted another season or two.

Onetime island protector Mark Pellegrino has been cast as a trained assassin in A&E?s upcoming fugitive-themed drama Breakout Kings, sources confirm to me exclusively.

Pellegrino will guest star as Virgil Downing, a notorious international contract killer who always gets the job done. (Translation: He?s Sayid!) Although he?s suspected in at least-three dozen other killings, his only conviction was for murdering a police commissioner ? six years prior to breaking out of his maximum-security cell.

My first thought was that T-Bag from the kids show in late 80's early 90's was making a come back :laugh:
