In this episode of Prison Breaking with Sarah & Paul, Sarah Wayne Callies revisits Prison Break Season 3, Episode 3 (“Call Waiting”) and sits down with actor Carlo Alban, who played fan-favorite Sona inmate Luis “McGrady” Gallego.

McGrady quickly became one of the most memorable characters inside the brutal Sona prison, bringing humanity and heart to one of the darkest seasons of Prison Break. Carlo shares behind-the-scenes stories about joining the show, working with Wentworth Miller, filming the intense Sona escape sequences, and how his character survived among some of the most dangerous inmates in the series.

Carlo also reveals:
• How McGrady was originally supposed to appear in only a few episodes
• What it was like arriving on set in Season 3 with an entirely new cast inside Sona
• Filming the escape scenes with helicopters, boats, and underwater shots
• Why McGrady stood out as one of the only characters in Sona who kept his kindness
• His surprising journey from Sesame Street to Prison Break

Along the way, Sarah reflects on rewatching Season 3 of Prison Break, the show’s evolving tone, and why the story of Michael Scofield’s plan inside Sona still captivates fans nearly two decades later.

If you're a longtime fan of Prison Break, curious about Sona prison, or love hearing behind-the-scenes stories from iconic TV shows, this episode is for you.

Sarah and Paul discuss Prison Break Episode 302 and welcome back Creator and EP Paul Scheuring. Paul wrote Episode 301 and left the show right after. Last week, Dawn Olmstead shared the full history of Prison Break and the development of Season 3. This week, Paul shares his version of the story and his understanding of how Season 3 went down, giving two perspectives to the same story. For the full scope of this conversation, we recommend listeners go back and listen to Paul's first appearance on the podcast at the end of Season 1.

Fishes, Folks, and Friends! We're back and ready to tackle the most dangerous prison in the world, SONA! A prison so bad, the Panamanian guards won't even go inside!

This season is going to be so much fun. For starters, neither Paul nor Sarah has ever seen it - everything you hear is their reactions to what's happening in real time.

Second, we have guests galore. And there's no better guest to kick us off than the absolute, #1 authority on all things Prison Break, Executive Producer Dawn Olmstead! Dawn conceived of Prison Break and shepherded it from its humble beginnings as a nascent idea all the way through development and production on both the original series and the current reboot on Hulu.  Dawn shares Prison Break's never-before-publicly told origin story,  how Season 3 came about, and maybe teases us with an exclusive update on the upcoming reboot.
