Production
Filming
Unlike many other TV shows, Prison Break was primarily filmed outside of Hollywood. The first season was primarily shot in and around Chicago, Illinois.[1][2] During the second season, filming was moved to Dallas, Texas.[3] Filming for the third season continued to be done in Dallas, but the price tag increased to about $3 million per episode.[4] Several of the exterior scenes with Lincoln and Gretchen negotiating the escape from the Panama jail were shot in the Casco Viejo quarter of Panama City.[5]
