Prison Break’s executive producer Matt Olmstead has admitted that the show may be axed in the near future. With the poor ratings Olmstead told Entertainment Weekly that there’s a shelf life to serialized drama. “If this is the last season, we’re not mourning that because it’s been a great ride and we have a great season [ahead].” IF the series is cancelled midway through this season, Olmstead says that they will have enough time to prepare an appropriate ending. “The season finale we have in mind could play as a season or series finale.” That being said, Olmstead says that the show’s producers have “absolutely been encouraged by the response” to the fourth season. “It took a while to get the right idea… and to have the audience supporting it is very gratifying.”


《越獄》的制片主任Matt Olmstead承認(rèn)這部劇可能將在不久之后被砍。面對(duì)一蹶不振的收視率，Olmstead對(duì)《娛樂(lè)周刊》坦言每部連續(xù)劇都是各自的保質(zhì)期：“如果這真的是最后一季，我們不會(huì)為此傷心，因?yàn)檫@一路走來(lái)都很棒，而這一季也將同樣如此。”如果劇集本季被中途取消，Olmstead表示他們將有足夠的時(shí)間準(zhǔn)備一個(gè)妥帖的結(jié)局：“我們想好的本季大結(jié)局同事也可以作為整部劇的大結(jié)局?！北M管如此，Olmstead也表示《越獄》的制片們都對(duì)第四季的“反響感到非常鼓舞”。“得隔一段時(shí)間才會(huì)了解到真實(shí)情況……能夠得到觀眾的支持真是讓人覺(jué)得十分欣慰的事。”

【小編短評(píng)】 金城武在《重慶森林》里說(shuō)的真沒(méi)錯(cuò)：“不知道從什么時(shí)候開始，在什么東西上面都有個(gè)日期，秋刀魚會(huì)過(guò)期，肉罐頭會(huì)過(guò)期，連保鮮紙都會(huì)過(guò)期，我開始懷疑，在這個(gè)世界上，還有什么東西是不會(huì)過(guò)期的？ ”不過(guò)真要給《越獄》加上一個(gè)期限的話，咱總不能說(shuō)是一萬(wàn)年吧？！
