A&E will not continue with the action drama.
May 17, 2012
A&E has cancelled Breakout Kings after two seasons on the air. The news comes just two weeks after the show's second-season finale.
Breakout Kings, which followed U.S. Marshals working with convicted criminals to track down prison escapees, was originally passed over by the Fox Network back in 2010 and subsequently picked up by A&E after lengthy negotiations. The series ends after 23 episodes over two seasons.

You guys didn't see this coming. When they killed Laz off at the begging of the first show of the season two, I new the show would get canceled. Don't get me wrong I like all the actors. I just didn't want to set my self up to finish watching the last season of another good show lost to dumb decisions by the NETWORKS.

i knew this show was going to be cancelled when Laz Alonso decided he was gonna try his hand at being a movie star.i knew it was gonna happen when i saw him in queen latifah's movie then he was in tyler perry's movie and i knew A&E wasnt going to be able to afforde him anymore.It was sad that a show with such a good concept and cast especially the doctor-he was crazy funny

This sucks! Great show with interesting characters and likeable actors that made the show believable.Why keep junk on the air and not give good ones the time to mature and attract a greater audience?

It figures they would cancel this show, but yet put a show called Duck Dynasty on, terrible decision...I agree with everyone, all the good shows get cancelled and idiotic reality shows keep popping up on every dang channel you turn to...If they cancel The Glades, I am done with A&E for good.

I just do not understand all the shows that I enjoy are being canceled The finder, In Plain Sight,Memphis Beat,CSI Miami and the list goes on now this one. What are the networks thinking I see previews for new shows coming out and think really Dogs in the city. Come on networks get your heads in the game stop with all this reality show crap and give us something worth watching

SO STUPID!! THere was no show on the air like this one. I LOVED IT and the actors. They should atleast have had one more episode, like a swan song just so we know if the prisoners rat out their boss, who put his ass on the line to help them shave prison time or just fend for their families and get to be free. THAT IS SO MESSED UP. STUPID A&E

I am so sad this show has been cancelled, it was well written with a great cast. There is very little like this on TV. This was a terrible decision...
