Fox confirmed on Monday that it will begin filming the second season of its hit show "Prison Break" on June 15th in the Dallas area, uprooting the production from the Chicago locale where the first season was shot reports the Associated Press.

The series, which won this year's People's Choice Award for new drama and a Golden Globe nomination, follows Michael Scofield, a prison designer played by Wentworth Miller, who gets himself imprisoned so he can break out his brother Lincoln Burrows (Dominic Purcell), who was framed for murder.

The inmates escaped in the last three episodes of the first season which wrapped last night. Producer Garry Brown has a home in Dallas and said he chose the area because a wide variety of settings were available from rural to urban, all in close proximity.
