DALLAS -- The Fox TV network will shoot its acclaimed drama “Prison Break'' in North Texas.

Fox announced Monday it will begin filming the second season of the show on June 15 in the Dallas area.

“Prison Break'' won this year's People's Choice Award for new drama and a Golden Globe nomination. It follows Michael Scofield, 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 near the end of the first season, which was shot around Chicago.

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.

Meanwhile, Dallas is still courting the planned movie remake of the long-running TV show “Dallas.''
