For the cast, who had spent the first season sweating in the same orange jumpsuits and prison sets, the shift was revitalizing. "It's totally reinvigorated us as far as I'm concerned," Wentworth Miller told IGN in an exclusive interview. "We're not in the prison anymore, which is where we shot the majority of the first season. We're down at the lake and in the woods, and we're wearing civilian clothes and walking around city streets." More importantly, Miller felt the move allowed him to explore new sides of the meticulous Michael Scofield. "The stakes are only getting higher... I said, Michael is vulnerable, he's afraid and frustrated and angry... Now that we're outside and I'm with my brother, I can get into all those colors."

Season 2 would not be tidy. It would be a chase that followed records and rumors from Panama to Prague, from a convent in Sicily to the marble halls of an American courthouse. New allies would emerge: a forensic accountant with a grudge against offshore banking, a disillusioned intelligence analyst with access to secure comms, and a federal prosecutor willing to risk her career for a chance at a whistleblower. Old enemies would adapt: T-Bag’s manipulations would splinter the crew’s trust; Mahone’s pursuit of justice would fracture into vengeance; Sucre’s loyalty would be tested by offers of reprieve.
