From ?Alias? to ?Lost? to ?Fringe,? J.J. Abrams has been the creative architect behind some of the last decade?s most compelling television shows. Today in New York, Fox officially announced its plans to put a new Abrams show, ?Alcatraz,? on its new 2011-2012 schedule.

Alcatraz shares elements of other Abrams-produced shows like Lost and Fringe, and it?s also reminiscent of the under-appreciated USA show The 4400. But the show does more than just retread familiar territory. By the end of the pilot episode the Comic-Con audience was clearly wanting more from yet another J.J. Abrams mystery box.

The show, naturally set in and around San Francisco, follows a team of investigators who work on solving crimes committed ? and here comes the classic J.J. Abrams twist ? by inmates who had mysteriously vanished from Alcatraz Island?s famous prison some five decades earlier and return to continue their criminal ways.

And it?s that twist, Abrams says, that makes the show different than your average television procedural. (Click on the audio player to listen to J.J. Abrams.)

Sam Neill, Sarah Jones, and Jorge Garcia star in ?Alcatraz,? which will air Monday nights at 9/8c on Fox starting in early 2012.

I am eagerly awaiting this show. I seems as if J.J. Abram has struck gold again.
