The Official "Breakout Kings" Discussion Thread

[WyldeMan45]

This was one of the pilots I was interested in that just did not end up being picked up by it's original network. But A&E must be very happy with what they saw, and I think it would make a good addition to the scripted line-up which currently only includes The Glades. I loved this cast already; Jackie Jr from the Sopranos, Herc from the Wire, Fenix from Fast and Furious, Sullivan from the Unit, and today's latest addition being the insanely gorgeous Serinda Swan, I am most definitely going to check this out when it hits the air.

Rejected Fox pilot Breakout Kings has found new life on A&E. Sources confirm that the cabler has picked up the highly regarded hourlong drama for 13 episodes.

Created by Nick Santora and Prison Break‘s Matt Olmstead, the show revolves around a group of U.S. marshals and ex-cons that team up to apprehend escaped criminals. It stars Jason Cerbone, Domenick Lombardozzi, Laz Alonzo, Malcolm Goodwin, and Nicole Steinwedell.

And well I couldn't resist posting this images of Serinda so I just included her casting announcement from today.

Serinda Swan has landed a key role on A&E's "Breakout Kings."

Swan ("Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief") will play series regular Erica Reed, an expert at finding people who don't want to be found -- then killing them.

"Breakout Kings," about a team of former cons working with U.S. marshals, was developed at Fox, where it tested well but didn't land a series order. A&E snatched up the show in June and ordered 13 episodes.
