New drama “Breakout Kings” to premiere March 6 on A&E

“Breakout Kings,” a new A&E drama series from “Prison Break” writers/producers Matt Olmstead and Nick Santora is set to debut at 9 p.m. March 6.

The show follows an unconventional partnership between the U.S. Marshals’ office and a group of convicts as they work to catch fugitives on the run, according to an A&E news release.

Veteran U.S. Marshals Charlie Duchamp (Laz Alonso Avatar, “Fast and the Furious 4: Fast & Furious”) and Ray Zancanelli (Domenick Lombardozzi, “The Wire”) form a special task force made up of the three most elusive convicts Ray ever captured: Lloyd Lowery (Jimmi Simpson, “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia”), a former child prodigy and behaviorist/psychiatric expert who excels in psychoanalysis; Shea Daniels (Malcolm Goodwin, “American Gangster”), an ex-gang member who knows how to work the system in prison and on the street as well; and Erica Reed (Serinda Swan, “Tron: Legacy”), an expert tracker who learned her trade from her bounty hunter father.
