I have a feeling this show just might appeal to all the same men who just loooove Prison Break (you know who you are):
Fox is considering a Prison Break spinoff, set in a women’s prison, tentatively titled Prison Break: Cherry Hill. (How girly could they make the title? Cherry Hill? Oy.)
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the show would “center on Molly, a new regular character that will be introduced on Prison later this season.”
Fox already has ordered a script for a possible spinoff.
Molly is an upper-middle-class wife. After suffering a family tragedy at the hands of the Company—the government conspiracy that framed Michael Wentworth Miller and Lincoln Dominic Purcell and put them behind bars—she seeks them out at the hellish Panamanian prison Sona in her quest to exact vengeance.
Molly is sentenced to life “for her acts of revenge.” She’s prepared to serve her sentence, but then finds out “some of her loved ones are alive.” Then all she wants to do is get the heck outta there.
Prison’s executive producer, Matt Olmstead, will take on the same duties with Cherry Hill. He told THR:
In a moment’s time, she is transformed from an unapologetic murderer to a motivated woman who would do anything to get out of prison and be with them.
Olmstead and Dawn Parouse (another EP on Prison) apparently had been talking about developing a show at a women’s prison. They decided they could introduce an interesting new character who’d have some clues about the conspiracy and be able to set up a new show beyond it.
And if Cherry Hill doesn’t work out, they’re going to keep Molly on Prison Break as a regular character. They haven’t cast her yet and haven’t decided in which episode she’d first appear.
Everyone wins!
Oh, except the guys who are still in prison.

This is a joke right? A woman’s prison named “Cherry Hill”?
I just heard this on the news. Are the Cavemen writers on this?
