From Prison Break To Breakout

 

Use a thief to catch a thief isn’t just good sense (Well, sometimes it’s not even that), it’s also the concept behind a new show from the creators of Prison Break.

A&E, of all places, has ordered 13 episodes of Breakout Kings, a new show from Matt Olmstead and Nick Santora which stars The Wire‘s Domenick Lombardozzi and Avatar‘s Laz Alonso as two US Marshalls who use former fugitives to hunt escaped fugitives. Expect action and unsubtle exposition when the show premieres next year.
