Episodes 1 Orientación Air date: Sep 17, 2007 As Season 3 begins, Michael, Mahone, T-Bag and Bellick are all in Sona, a notorious Panamanian prison. The worst of the worst are there, a U.S. diplomat tells Linc. The good news is that Linc has been exonerated, and Michael is to be transferred to a "more moderate" prison before his trial. But first Michael must deal with the prison's ringleader (Robert Wisdom). And the Company's interested in him, too. Meanwhile, Sara's missing. More 2 Fire/Water Air date: Sep 24, 2007 After Michael gets bad news from Linc, he sets out to find a prisoner named Whistler (Chris Vance), who holds the key to his freedom. That's easier said than done: Whistler is hiding in Sona because there's a price on his head, and Lechero is not about to help Michael find him. In addition, both Mahone and Bellick want to get to Whistler too. Meanwhile, T-Bag won't allow a little humiliation stop him from insinuating himself into Lechero's good graces. More 3 Call Waiting Air date: Oct 1, 2007 Someone slides an envelope containing a photo of Sara and LJ under the door of Linc's hotel room. It might contain clues to their whereabouts. The Company Operative (Jodi Lyn O'Keefe) in Panama City might help, too, but Linc must persuade her it's in her best interest to do so. And at Sona, Michael gets to know Whistler; Lechero begins to lose confidence in his ability to shape events; and Mahone, who is in increasing need of his medications, meets the lawyer who'll defend him. More 4 Good Fences Air date: Oct 8, 2007 After failing to rescue LJ and Sara, Linc receives an ominous warning from the Company; Michael plans an electrifying escape from Sona; a face from the past haunts Mahone; T-Bag crawls up the ladder while Bellick lands in hot water with Lechero.

More 6 Photo Finish Air date: Nov 5, 2007 When an inmate is found murdered, Whistler becomes the prime suspect and Michael must prove his innocence in order to save his life. Michael also demands evidence from Susan that Sara is alive, or he won't help Whistler escape. Meanwhile, Linc and Sofia monitor the guards' morning rituals; and Mahone receives an offer that could get him out of Sona. More 7 Vamonos Air date: Nov 5, 2007 As Linc, Sofia and Sucre arrive at the rendezvous point, each with a personal agenda, Michael uses his grief and anger as a cover for the escape plan. Meanwhile, Lang and Sullins transport Mahone to Panama City for his court date, at which they tell him that he'll have to disclose everything he knows about the Company. More 8 Bang and Burn Air date: Nov 12, 2007 The Company has given Linc four days to get Whistler out of Sona, but Susan B. decides to act on her own, bypassing Michael, who finds a new ally in Sona. Meanwhile, Lechero faces a challenge from Sammy; Linc and Sucre try again to rescue LJ; Sofia learns some new things about Whistler; and Mahone, still strung out, testifies.

More Show More Episodes Prison Break: Season 3 Photos View All Photos (37) Tv Season Info The third series finds Michael Scofield back in prison with disgraced FBI Agent Alexander Mahone, ex-prison guard Brad Bellick and villainous Theodore "T-Bag" Bagwell. But Panamanian prison Sona is no Fox River---the inmates run the ruthless penitentiary on the inside while armed guards beyond the fence stand ready to shoot any would-be escapees. At the top of the prison pecking order is murderous drug lord Lechero, who tells the new inmates that disputes are resolved via the gift of a chicken foot, which signals an inmate's desire to fight another to the death. Lechero immediately distrusts Michael for fear that his celebrity status as an escape artist may threaten his rule.

More Show More Episodes Critic Reviews for Prison Break Season 3 All Critics (12) | Top Critics (4) | Fresh (6) | Rotten (6) Of course, prison breaking is 99 percent scheming and one percent breaking. And another 98 percent brooding. Which all made this episode a lot like watching a hockey game. With no puck. Sep 25, 2018 | Full Review… Andrew Dansby Houston Chronicle Top Critic By this point the plot has dipped from daft to downright hilarious and while there's still fun to be had, any semblance of story has long since flown the coop. Oct 18, 2017 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review… William Thomas Empire Magazine Top Critic Pretty stupid. But it's just stupid enough to keep watching -- at least for now. The scenery chewing in Prison Break is generally entertaining, and the acting is actually good. Sep 25, 2018 | Rating: B- | Full Review… Josh Modell AV Club Top Critic So let's be honest -- who isn't a little bit relieved? I for one, as a fan of Prison Break, began to see Monday nights as a burden. Sep 25, 2018 | Full Review… Aubry D'Arminio Entertainment Weekly Top Critic The show appears to have lost none of its kinetic energy. So sit back, give in, and be very thankful that you're not watching this in a Central American prison. Sep 25, 2018 | Full Review… Brian Lowry Variety Top Critic Here I am, watching and reviewing Season Three, loving every overheated, ludicrous moment of it... But now that I'm sitting down to write about it, I'm forced to think about it, somewhat critically, and everything starts to fall apart. Sep 25, 2018 | Rating: 6/10 | Full Review… Jake Meaney PopMatters With so much going against it, this shortened third season of Prison Break could have been disastrous. But instead, the writers managed to not only salvage the season, but tell a tightly woven, compelling and action-packed story. Sep 25, 2018 | Rating: 8.5/10 | Full Review… Ahsan Haque IGN Movies They are on their way to recapture the beauty of season one. Sep 25, 2018 | Full Review… Sandrine Sahakians TV Equals Equivalent to a tire being stuck in the mud. Sep 25, 2018 | Full Review… Anthony Guivas The Young Folks We've had enough shots of Michael Schofield brooding and/or sulking. It might have worked over the first two seasons, but it has become too tiresome now. Sep 25, 2018 | Full Review… Ben Rawson-Jones Digital Spy Prison Break is still pulling in its audience and delivering the satisfying character twists that have become the show's trademark. When operating at its peak, this is still an addictive weekly crowd-pleaser. Sep 25, 2018 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review… Ben Lankester Den of Geek The new season is diiirrrty. And personally, I'm digging it. I mean, who doesn't love to see the prettiest man in television (like I have to name him, but I will: Wentworth Miller) all grunged up and hot and sweaty and ready to stick a shiv in someone?

Online View All Critic Reviews (12) Audience Reviews for Prison Break: Season 3 Dec 26, 2019 They are back in more badass prison, the brutal gangs thrilling story short season makes it more entertaining. Akshay G Sep 19, 2019 Not as good as the first two but still a great series Charlie L Feb 13, 2019 Awesome. Season 1 and Season 2 are still the best. However, this one has its own good moments too. Tinku G Aug 05, 2017 probaly the worst season yet still exciting and fun to watch Christopher T Feb 09, 2017 some bad acting (sofia) and stupid parts. not as enthralling as the first two seasons but still entertaining. Waleed A Aug 28, 2016 A HUGE letdown from last season. Season 3 of Prison Break, or what I liked to call Prison Break, Barbarian version, toppled off the mountain from its stellar season 2. Lets start with Jodi Lynn O Keefe (sp?); her acting was terrible. Talk about a cartoonish character. Theres was nothing convincing about her, her role so one-dimensional in its attempt at being the great bad-ass of the show. Didnt work. Like, at all. Then the prison. Fine for a Steven Segall or Jean Claude Van Dam movie, but for this show? It was chessy. Oh no, prisoners so ruthless that not even the guards will set foot in the place. Ummm, yeah, theres kind of like ways to fix that. It was like watching a Mad Max movie for a full season. Then, every episode was basically the SAME THING. You can literally watch any random episodes from season three, and theyre ALL the same exact thing, just rehashed in various forms or stretched out. You could almost say the same thing about season one, but at least the show kept you vested and interested. This time, not so much. The actual break out wasnt nearly as cool as it should have been, in fact, quite childish/amateur considering nobody can escape this prison. But I guess blinding a guard with the sun for like 4.8 seconds and rolling under some jeeps was just what they needed. Now, it wasnt all bad. I stayed interested, theres some good internal strife and fighting to watch, some crazy pairings that you wouldnt expect, the Whats-in-the-boxish stealing/borrowing from the movie Seven, and some neat new characters (although, theyre gone by seasons end too). So I dont totally dismiss watching it, just go in knowing it falters greatly from the previous season. David S Jul 23, 2016 Not as exciting as season 1 was but still delivers much of the goods.
