Television Notes
Actors working on Fox’s Prison Break, were told that there may be only two episodes left to the once hot series. There are six remaining episodes of the series for the total season and the series did not appear on the revised midseason schedule released last week. As a result, the final two hours may be combined into a series-ending finale to air in December or as a spring special. The series launched four years ago and was considered a daring change of pace for a drama.
The Sci Fi Channel announced that its latest drama, Sanctuary, has been given a second season, bucking a trend of high-profile one-season wonders. The next season of the series, starring Amanda Tapping, will consist of thirteen episodes. The series is expected back some time in 2009. The series, also starring Robin Dunne, Ryan Robbins, Emilie Ullerup and Christopher Heyerdahl, debuted in October to the highest-rated original series premiere ratings since Eureka debuted in July 2006.
