Medium
Arrested Development’s Jeffrey Tambor is guest-starring in a May episode. Turns out, he’s actually replacing Patricia Arquette in the episode.

Fox canceled Prison Break a few weeks back, but as we speak, producers are casting and shooting two additional hours of the show. The Prison Break creative team is finally making that much-discussed two-hour wrap-up film. The two bonus episodes are titled The Old Ball and Chain and Free, and they take place a couple of days after the events of the season finale. A studio source says that they’re “a self-contained Prison Break adventure in which Michael faces the most challenging break ever.” And yes, Gretchen is involved, but so is the rest of the Prison Break cast you know and love. No word yet about when or where the episodes will premiere. (Watch With Kristin)

This will become apparent when Penny starts dating a comic book loving friend of the guys.” (Michael Ausiello)
