Is Prison Break nearing its end? (From TV.com)

Report says Fox's Prison Break is adding two hours to this season; some say it's to end the series.

Well, Prison Break fans, I have some good news and some bad news. According to The Hollywood Reporter, cast and production members from Prison Break have been told by Fox that they may be filming an additional two episodes this season (yay!), but it may come with a huge catch.

I hope you have some salt near you, because you may want to take a grain of it when you read this next sentence. The Hollywood Reporter says that those extra two episodes may serve as a series finale...yep, a series finale (their idea, not mine!).

The idea behind the logic starts with Prison Break's ratings, which are down, but also includes the fact that Prison Break was not placed on Fox's recent midseason schedule (House and 24 will be moving to Mondays, and Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles was ostracized to Fridays). Prison Break is routinely one of those shows that is on the bubble when it comes time to cancel shows, but its ardent fan base has kept it afloat.

However, the two episodes could serve as a non-series-ending "event" (like 24: Redemption) that would air later, or could be DVD extras. It's all quite confusing at this point.

Again, this is all conjecture at the moment, but I thought you Prison Break maniacs might like to know.
