Trivia about Prison Break
The majority of the first season was filmed on location in and around Chicago.
Although Scheuring thought it was a good idea, he was initially stumped as to why someone would embark on such a mission or how he could develop it into a viable television show.
In 2003, he pitched the idea to the Fox Broadcasting Company but was turned down as Fox felt nervous about the long-term possibilities of such a series.
Prison Break was later considered as a possible 14-part miniseries, which drew the interest of Steven Spielberg before his departure due to his involvement with War of the Worlds.
Following the huge popularity of serialized prime time television series such as 24 and Lost, Fox backed the production in 2004.
The pilot episode was filmed one year after Scheuring wrote the script.
