Prison Break fans clamoring for some of the sweaty intrigue of season one are in for a treat. Rumors and spoilers are starting to leak heavily from the set now that production has begun and it looks like the show will be returning to its gritty big house grit, and beyond. Be warned, spoilers past this point.
Prison Break entered production earlier this month in Texas, which is surprisingly standing in for Panama. The brief glimpse we got of the interior of Sona at the end of last season was nothing compared to the full interior and exterior sets that were built in preparation for the shoot.
Fans have been dying to find out just how much of this season will take place in the Sona, and the answer seems to be ‘most of it.’ Even though we know the mysterious guys in white coats are anticipating Michael (Wentworth Miller) to escape quickly, the rumor is that the central plot for season three will evolve inside the prison, and Michael may just decide to stay in there for a while.
That is all well and good as far as Michael’s plot is concerned, but what about Linc (Dominic Purcell)? Troubling rumors early this year indicated that one of the brothers, and most suspect Lincoln, may not survive very long into the third season. The rumor could have been started just to reinforce the fan’s imperative to tune in for the beginning of the season.
Since Michael’s importance to a shadowy organization has been established, and we know most of the action will take place within Sona, it does seem like a safe bet that if a brother is going, it would be Lincoln.
To further reinforce this morbid notion, it is now common knowledge in the spoiler community that a woman will approach Lincoln in the first episode and give him a mysterious iPod. New casting info confirms that the woman in question is an agent for ‘The Company,’ the top secret project monitoring Michael’s prison breaking activities. Is Lincoln being setup?

According to a TV Guide interview with co-executive producer Manny Coto, "Jack starts next season in a very different place than any season so far. Let's put it this way: I wouldn't be surprised if there's no CTU next year." He also says that "There will not be a ticking clock on a nuclear device. We're hewing much closer to real life: tighter, more personal, more difficult for Jack. There may even be a plot thread that doesn't take place on U.S. soil. In a sense, it's a reboot — in location and personnel. We're going to be introducing a new stable of characters, along with a couple of old ones. Jack's not living under an alias. He's found a place he thinks he belongs and a job he enjoys doing that doesn't involve the government. What's also refreshing is the choice of villain: It's not a Muslim terrorist. In fact, it's not a terrorist at all. And the character is fascinating, someone with a supremely dark past who's done something horrific and whose ambition is o regain his stature in the world."
