The Hollywood Reporter reveals that the folks over at Fox’s “Prison Break” just got notice that their filming schedule has been extended by two more episodes.

In her report, writer Nellie Andreeva can offer little more than speculation, but her suggestions are that these episodes could be anything ranging from a special event a la the upcoming “24” two-hour prequel to the filming of additional material for the next season’s DVD package. The most realistic premise, however, is that the show is being given the opportunity to wrap up its four-year run in a respectful manner…which is something that far too few series get to do nowadays. If that is the case, then kudos to Fox for allowing “Prison Break” to go out with some semblance of dignity.
