As per tradition, the season premiere of PRISON BREAK truly relaunches the show in an entirely different direction. Giving it a very OCEANS 11, A-TEAM kind of vibe.
Dominic Purcell: I agree, that’s the way it kind of feels.

Are you a fan of the way in which the show is constantly re-inventing itself?
Well we’ve got to come up with ways to keep this thing going you know. And it’s not necessarily us the actors or the writers. It’s the suits. They love the show and they want us to keep it going.

For me there’s a bit of trepidation though. I’m constantly thinking, is the audience going to get into it this year? But the writers are really passionate about making the show work, constantly coming up with these crazy ideas.

Crazy ideas like Sara’s re-heading! What are your thoughts on her return?
I don’t know. I’ve never really dealt with what the fans think of the show. I’m one of these guys who come to work, loves what I do and checks it at the door. For me it’s a job, a good job. But I know that a lot of people supposedly loved the relationship between Michael and Sara which is great.
