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.

All shows that arn't walking dead on A&E get cut it seems. I was overall angry about tv the last year or two.

THE SHOW IS GOOD IMO. LAZ SEXY SELF LEFT FOR WHATEVER REASON BUT IRONICALLY THE SHOW STILL WORKED. NOW THESE ACTORRS ARE OUT OF WORK AS WELL. SO SAD

What a great show! Too bad it was cancelled. I knew it would happen when Laz left the show!

In the last few years, I got into a few really good shows only to see them cancelled: My Own Worst Enemy, Moonlight, Terra Nova, Undercovers, Stargate Universe, and now I've got to add Breakout Kings to the list. Why even bother getting invested in characters and great shows if the networks are only going to prematurely cancel them and replace them with dumb mindless junk. That's the sad state of American television today....

ANOTHER great show cancelled by TV Executive IDIOTS that don't care about the viewer's feelings @ all. What a shame for A&E not to give this well written show another shot, don"t care to watch ANYTHING on your channel anymore!! When will you executives ever learn that you are making TV A WASTE OF TIME to watch anymore with the mindless crap you do show!!!!! Breakout Kings you were a great cast and we viewers will suffer because of A&E's stupidity for not giving your show another chance!!!!

OMG I can't believe they cancelled this show! Especially the way it ended this season! Can't they at least bring it back for a short season to tie the ending together. Just plain nuts!!!

Al, HILAROUS. :)
I had to steal that for fb. Dead-on.
I think it'd do well on USA with Psych and White Collar and Burn Notice.
Plus, USA puts their shows on Hulu, where you can automatically have them added to your queue.
Someone should probably be monitoring that site, because I'm sure lots of people watch it on there whenever they get the time.

I would say that I can't believe this show is cancelled, but, unfortunately, in this silly tv world where Dancing With The Stars & various other tripe continues, really good shows like this are sidelined. Makes me turn off the tv more & more. I guess if the networks' goal is to ditch intelligent, financially stable viewers in favor of pre-adolescent ones, then they're succeeding admirably. I don't mean to sound pretentious, even if that's what it sounds like. Just frustrated about their unwavering ability to kill all the good shows. It's about all the talent that the network execs seem to have.

Can someone explain to me who the people are that do the Neilsen ratings? How do they pick these people. Do you have to fail an IQ test of some kind, and then they give you the box? I cannot believe this many people in this country actually watch the mindless, stupid, mind-numbing garbage they continue to shovel us. Has anyone ever met someone with a Neilsen box?

There's a Facebook page titled Bring Back Breakout Kings. Its so cool, they're sending letters to A&E attached with yellow pencils (as an homage to the Lloyd/Julianne scene). I'm South African so I just sent an e-mail.
