This week, FOX announced its Fall lineup and will be bringing back Prison Break for a fourth season. The show will continue on Monday nights but will air at 9pm instead of 8. Sarah Wayne Callies will return for season 4 and is listed as a regular cast member, which confirms that Sara Tancredi will be a major character throughout the season and not just for a few episodes. Besides the time slot and season cast list, FOX also released a synopsis of season 4. It may not give us all the answers we were hoping for, but it definitely gets our blood pumping for what’s to come.

FOX is the final network to have its upfronts this week. As far as upfront weeks go, it hasn't been the most exciting. In this Internet age we live in, secrets are almost impossible to keep – we all knew which shows were being canceled and which weren't. We knew which new series were going to be picked up. The one thing that networks can keep secret, however, are their final schedules. FOX released two schedules today, one for Fall and one for the Spring. Below, you will find the Fall schedule, followed by a look at the new series and some commentary.

A few weeks ago, TV Guide broke the story that Prison Break would be adding at least two new characters to season 4. The first is Penrab, a deadly assassin for The Company who’s been waiting be called in to take somebody out. Then there's Don, an FBI handler who will become useful to Michael. He has strategies and tactics for bringing The Company down from the inside out. Today, Fox announced that Michael Rapaport will be joining the cast of Prison Break as "a government agent who has an interesting offer for Michael and Lincoln". Could this be our Don?

It has been an interesting discussion among the Prison Break fans on BuddyTV's site, as they try to figure out which character should die first when season 4 returns this fall to Fox. Notice the question says: who SHOULD die first? Not, who do you want to die first or who would you be upset if they died first, but who should die first? We've examined heroes, villains, and those who teeter on the edge and could go either way. In last week's third and last round before the final vote, we put Michael up against Sucre and T-Bag. Though T-Bag may have many fans, he pulled in 72% of the votes, catapulting him to the final round. He'll go up against a teenager and a member of The Company as you decide, ultimately, you should die first in Prison Break's fourth season.

As season 4 of Prison Break looms in the distance, all most fans can talk about it the surprising return of Sarah Wayne Callies. Prison Break “killed off” her character last season, after contract talks between the show and the actress broke down. Officials from the show claimed that they did everything they could to keep Callies on the show but she was uninterested. Until now. The show has brought her character, Sara Tancredi, back, saying that it was never her head that Lincoln found in a box. The cast members have not commented much on Sarah’s return but TV Guide’s Michael Ausiello caught up with Jodi Lynn O’Keefe at a recent event and talked season 4.

Last week, I made some BuddyTV readers mad when I told them to stop thinking like Prison Break's Michael Scofield and more like The Company. With season 4 only a few months away, it's without question that more major characters will lose their lives. The Company has already tried to kill LJ and Lincoln but which of the father/son pair would die first? Though many Prison Break fans felt passionately that no one should choose the son to die, an overwhelming 85% voted for LJ to kick it first in season 4. Even though Lincoln has committed crimes and has lived much of his life, fans still voted in his favor. Now, it's time for round 3 and this time, it involves three of Prison Break's favorite characters.

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles is coming back for its second season in the Fall. The series was thought to be in danger of cancellation, but FOX recently made the announcement that the series will be returning for its second season – unfortunately, not a whole lot of people watched the first season. If you were one of those people, who foolishly shunned Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles the first time around, do not fret. You don't have to wait for the DVD or illegally download a large torrent file; FOX is going to re-air the first season at the end of the summer. In addition, FOX announced much of its summer schedule, and it gives a hint at what the FOX Fall schedule may look like.

As we wait in anticipation for Prison Break's fourth season to premiere, BuddyTV has decided to ask the readers who they they think should die first when the show returns. As much as many of the readers wanted to see Bellick die, feeling that he had no story left to tell, it was Susan who won round 1, with 52% of the votes. Bellick received 39% of the votes, while Mahone only pulled 9% of the votes. Prison Break fans must really want to know what Mahone is doing with The Company. BuddyTV reader Mellodrone backed up her decision to vote for Susan saying, “Someone as evil as Susan doesn't deserve to live.” Seems fans are still bitter about her (fake) special delivery to Lincoln in season 3. Now, it’s time for round 2. Round 1 may have been an easy choice for you, but you’ll have to weigh out the pros and cons of who you want to kill off first in round 2.
