FOX is looking to spin Prison Break off into a new series that capitalizes on the eternal hunger for the women - behind - bars genre..

FOX has ordered a pilot for the spinoff, tentatively titled Prison Break: Cherry Hill ( Yes, it sounds vaguely pornographic to me, too ).. The show’s centerpiece would be Molly, an upper - middle - class wife whose family is torn apart by the mysterious Company, the vast government conspiracy that just can’t stop messing with the lives of Michael ( Wentworth Miller ) and Lincoln ( Dominic Purcell ) on Prison Break.. Seeking revenge and perhaps reading about Michael and Linc in the papers, Molly finds her way down to the maximum security Panamanian prison Sona..

Executive producer Matt Olmstead said..

” There is an ironic similarity between Molly and Michael - they’re both emotionally banged up, both have lost loved ones, and both want the people responsible to pay - so they empathize with each other..”

In Cherry Hill, Molly would find herself in a women’s detention center facing a life sentence.. Naturally, additional information about the Company and surviving members of her family would lead her to plan her own breakout and have revenge..

While it’s customary to use a cresting show as the launching point for a spinoff ( Like Grey’s Anatomy giving birth to Private Practice ), there’s some precedent for a show in a ratings decline spawning successful offspring.. With The Practice on the verge of cancellation, for example, ABC and David E. Kelley created Boston Legal out of its ashes..

A search is under way for an actress to play Molly.. Prison Break producers will determine in which episode she will make her first appearance after casting the role.. If Prison Break: Cherry Hill doesn’t go forward, Molly could stick around the original Prison Break as a regular character, assuming that show gets a fourth season..
