Is Prison Break the new Suits? Not quite.

It’s true that 2023 gave us the Summer of Suits, which led to NBC putting the Suits: LA spin off into rapid development with a first season coming soon. Will Prison Break receive the same treatment or another season, even? One of those will come true.

First, it’s worth remembering that Prison Break debuted in 2005 and ended with a fifth season in 2017. The series returned to Netflix earlier this month, and the first three seasons are now occupying three separate slots on Netflix’s current Top 10 English-Speaking TV Shows list. Let’s just say that interest in the Fox series has been reignited, and it’s fair to assume that — out of the around 120 million hours viewed during the week of Sept. 16-22 — plenty of eyeballs are on this show for the first time.

Those are more than respectable numbers, although not full-on Suits numbers, for a concluded series.

However, there’s no chance for a sixth season starring Wentworth Miller, who declared in 2020 in a now-deleted Instagram post (via Entertainment Weekly) that he would not portray Michael Scofield again, or any straight character for that matter: “I’m out. Of PB. Officially. Not [because] of static on social media (although that has centered the issue). I just don’t want to play straight characters. Their stories have been told (and told).”

To hammer that point home, he followed up with this definitive statement: “No more Michael. If you were a fan of the show, hoping for additional seasons… I understand this is disappointing. I’m sorry.”

However, some good news does exist. In November 2023, Deadline revealed that Hulu has a reboot in the works. The show will be written by Mayans M.C. co-creator and showrunner Elgin James. Here’s a tiny bit more from Deadline:

Described as a new chapter, the new installment is set in the world of Prison Break, sources tell Deadline. Details are being kept under wraps but it is not expected to involve the characters who were at the center of the original series and its followups on Fox, Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller) and Lincoln Burrows’ (Dominic Purcell), we hear.

This reboot will arrive as part of James’ overall 20th Television deal following the conclusion of Kurt Sutter’s biker-drama saga. Meanwhile, Sutter is hard at work on Netflix’s The Abandons, and between the two of them, there will be plenty of violently soapy TV coming soon.

Sabrina Carpenter and Barry Keoghan reportedly have an “on and off” relationship. As of now, it appears to be on.

Over the weekend, director Alfredo Flores shared a batch of photos on Instagram, including a selfie where he’s sharing Erewhon‘s expensive “Short N’ Sweet” smoothie with Carpenter, who has a straw next to her open mouth. In the comments, the Saltburn actor replied, “Im the cup.”

As one fan of them both put it, “a match made in freakville.”

Speaking of horniness, Carpenter has dropped the NSFW outros to “Nonsense” on her Short N’ Sweet Tour (including one about Keoghan). But she told Cosmopolitan that she’s “learned a lot more about sexuality through writing [the outros] than people think. I think people think I’m just obnoxiously horny when in reality, writing them comes from the ability to not be fearful of your sexuality as opposed to just not being able to put it down.”

Carpenter continued, “But, in a real way, my advice is: Do whatever feels most comfortable to you. You can be curious and ask questions, but a lot of it is just going to be you learning yourself. So do whatever makes you feel the most comfortable and safe. Boring answer.”

For most of the NBA, the 2024-25 season officially kicked off on Monday with the annual media day extravaganza. That meant the yearly parade of quotes from players about what’s to come this season, as well as our first look at some big names on new teams.

Among those putting on a new uniform for the first time was Chris Paul, as the future Hall of Famer is now in San Antonio on a one-year deal to help the Spurs take a step forward. The biggest reason the Spurs pursued CP3 this summer was wanting to pair a high-level passing point guard with Victor Wembanyama for his sophomore campaign. Wemby and the Spurs started slowly last year, as they were in experimentation mode, but once they moved Victor to center and Tyus Jones into the starting lineup at point guard, Wembanyama took off and looked like at top-20 player in the NBA already on his way to a ROY win and DPOY runner-up. Adding Paul should give the Spurs 48 minutes of solid point guard play, which is a considerable upgrade from a year ago, and Wemby figures to benefit from having another player that can get him the ball in his spots and toss him lobs.

On Monday, Paul and Wembanyama were together in a Spurs uniform for the first time as the team snapped media day portraits, and while Paul (39) is nearly twice Wembanyama’s age (20), it’s CP3 who looks like a kid next to Wemby as the height discrepancy between the young center and veteran guard is really hammered home when they stand side by side.

Chris Paul is listed at 6′ tall, and while that’s maybe generous by an inch or two, he’s still above-average height for a man and yet, looks like a toddler next to Victor. NBA players standing next to Wembanyama really is an incredible genre of sports photography right now, whether it’s him making guards look like children or 7-footers like Rudy Gobert look normal.

About a month ago, tickets for the UK and European dates of the Oasis Live ’25 tour went on sale. Sales were through Ticketmaster, and they bungled it so badly that it prompted an investigation by the UK government.

The issue was Ticketmaster’s “dynamic pricing,” which changes the price of tickets in real-time based on demand. Well, US tour dates were just announced today (September 30), and Oasis has decided to go a different direction for ticket sales.

Oasis’ management shared a statement on social media today that reads:

“Ticketmaster’s dynamic pricing model will not be applied to the forthcoming sale of tickets to Oasis concerts in North America.

It is widely accepted that dynamic pricing remains a useful tool to combat ticket touting and keep prices for a significant proportion of fans lower than the market rate and thus more affordable.

But, when unprecedented ticket demand (where the entire tour could be sold many times over at the moment tickets go on sale) is combined with technology that cannot cope with that demand, it becomes less effective and can lead to an unacceptable experience for fans.

We have made this decision for the North America tour to hopefully avoid a repeat of the issues fans in the UK and Ireland experienced recently.”

Ticket pre-sale registration is open until October 1 at 8 a.m. ET, via the Oasis website. The general on-sale begins October 4 at noon local time, via Ticketmaster.

Back in 2021, DaBaby was sued by the property owner of a Hollywood Hills rental house where he filmed a video without the owner’s permission after he allegedly sucker-punched the man, knocking out his tooth. The pugnacious rapper has one less legal worry after settling the lawsuit, two months after taking a plea deal to avoid a felony charge of battery, according to Billboard.

The plaintiff, Gary Pagar, said at the time that he rented DaBaby the mansion on the condition no more than 12 people would occupy it. However, DaBaby flouted the regulation, shooting a video at the location with over 40 people. Pragar said he saw all this taking place on the security cameras and drove over to poop the party; however, rather than capitulating, someone in DaBaby’s group allegedly punch Pragar in the face, took his phone, spit on him, and — to literally add insult to injury — stole some kitchenware.

They also did thousands in damage, including knocking out one of the security cameras, while only paying a portion of the rental bill. The terms of the settlement were not revealed. A criminal charge of felony battery was reduced to a misdemeanor with DaBaby’s July plea deal, while the rapper was ordered to pay restitution and given one year of probation.

Taylor Sheridan’s Tulsa King moved production to Atlanta for the currently running second season. That was the case because Sylvester Stallone literally cannot handle Oklahoma heat (and who can blame him because it’s frequently hotter than Hotlanta there), which stands separate from the heat that his Dwight Manfredi has been feeling from the ATF.

The multi-city influence extends in front of the camera for this season, too, with Frank Grillo entering the scene as Kansas City mobster Bill Bevilaqua, and with whispers about Sheridan considering a Tulsa King spin off set elsewhere, Hollywood Reporter couldn’t resist broaching the subject in a conversation with ex-showrunner and current writer Terence Winter.

Will There Be A Tulsa King Spin Off?

The Boardwalk Empire creator confirmed that a spin off set in New Orleans is in the works (“There’s been some talk of that”) although not greenlit yet (“That’s in the talking stages”) by Paramount+. He added, “I’m just looking forward to getting those beignets in New Orleans.”

Food talk aside, Showtime’s Your Honor, starring Bryan Cranston still breaking bad, recently received a boost in popularity on Netflix for a show that revolves around organized crime happenings in the Crescent City. Although calls for a third season have yet to lead to a statement from Netflix, that audience is certainly primed for NOLA-based mob antics in the sardonic style of Tulsa King. So, let that green light roll, and we’ll be waiting to see it happen.

Green Day‘s Billie Joe Armstrong hails from Oakland, California, which had a Major League Baseball team… and now they don’t. The Oakland Athletics are moving from their long-time home in the Bay Area to Sutter Health Park in Sacramento before the team eventually settles in Las Vegas. During a recent show, Armstrong voiced his anger for A’s owner, John Fisher — and Vegas.

“We don’t take sh*t from people like f*cking John Fisher,” Armstrong said during Green Day’s concert at Oracle Park in San Francisco on September 20 before adding, “I hate Las Vegas. It’s the worst sh*thole in America.”

The singer’s comments have led to Green Day’s music being banned by two Las Vegas radio stations. “It’s not us, Billie… it’s you,” KOMP 92.3 posted to Instagram, along with the “no” symbol over a photo of the band. Meanwhile, X 107.5 posted to its website, “In response to Armstrong’s inflammatory comments, the station is banning all Green Day music, effective immediately.”

“Maybe he should take a look at the city and the people involved in that transaction [rather] than talking smack about the city of Las Vegas,” X107.5 host Carlota Gonzalez said during a recent broadcast, according to The San Francisco Chronicle. “I hate to say it, and as much as the Raiders suck, but when they were in Oakland, they were worth a billion or two. Now they’re worth six. It was a good business decision, and the A’s want some of that and I don’t blame that.”

X107.5 bills itself as being “xtreme radio” — and what’s more “xtreme” than siding with a billionaire?

One of the greatest defensive presences in NBA history died on Monday, as Hall of Famer Dikembe Mutombo passed at the age of 58 after battling brain cancer.

Mutombo was the most dominant rim protector in the NBA in the 90s, winning four Defensive Player of the Year awards (with three different teams) in his career. Mutombo anchored defenses in Denver, Atlanta, and Philadelphia in the prime of his career, earning eight All-Star appearances, six All-Defense selections, and three All-NBA nods. His finger wag celebration after blocking a shot became iconic, and the game’s best players, like Michael Jordan, held it as a badge of honor any time they challenged Mutombo at the rim and succeeded.

While he was a Hall of Famer for what he did on the court, he had a much greater impact off of it. His humanitarian work in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and beyond earned him numerous awards, particularly in helping fight polio in his home country. Mutombo’s legacy in the DRC stands to this day, with the Biamba Marie Mutombo Hospital just outside Kinshasa he funded to be built in the early 2000s as a physical embodiment of his work giving back.

Mutombo also was the NBA’s first Global Ambassador, spending his post-playing years traveling the world and helping grow the game. Adam Silver released a statement honoring Mutombo’s legacy after news of his passing became public.

“Dikembe Mutombo was simply larger than life. On the court, he was one of the greatest shot blockers and defensive players in the history of the NBA. Off the floor, he poured his heart and soul into helping others.

There was nobody more qualified than Dikembe to serve as the NBA’s first Global Ambassador. He was a humanitarian at his core. He loved what the game of basketball could do to make a positive impact on communities, especially in his native Democratic Republic of the Congo and across the continent of Africa. I had the privilege of traveling the world with Dikembe and seeing first-hand how his generosity and compassion uplifted people. He was always accessible at NBA events over the year — with his infections smile, deep booming voice and signature finger wag that endeared him to basketball fans of every generation.

Dikembe’s indomitable spirit continues on in those who he helped and inspired throughout his extraordinary life. I am one of the many people whose lives were touched by Dikembe’s big heart and I will miss him dearly. On behalf of the entire NBA family, I send my deepest condolences to Dikembe’s wife, Rose, and their children; his many friends; and the global basketball community which he truly loved and which loved him back.”

Over the weekend, hundreds of songs from popular artists including Adele, Burna Boy, J. Cole, and many, many more, were removed from YouTube, sparking confusion among fans. One song in particular, J. Cole’s “She Knows,” from his 2013 album Born Sinner, has prompted certain conspiracy-minded hip-hop fans to propagate a rumor speculating a connection between Diddy and Jay-Z based on Diddy’s indictment for unsavory sex crimes.

However, there’s a much simpler explanation for the song’s removal, as well as the others’ — which I’m sure will be to those fans’ disappointment. Per Variety, all of the songs were removed due to a legal dispute between YouTube and SESAC, the performance-rights organization that oversees the catalogs of more than 30,000 songwriters in the US.

Founded in 1930 as the now somewhat inaccurate Society of European Stage Authors and Composers, SESAC advocates on behalf of its members to ensure royalties are paid fairly and timely. Rather than risk a lawsuit from SESAC, YouTube has disabled the affected videos until a new agreement can be reached. YouTube told Variety in a press statement:

We have held good faith negotiations with SESAC to renew our existing deal. Unfortunately, despite our best efforts, we were unable to reach an equitable agreement before its expiration. We take copyright very seriously and as a result, content represented by SESAC is no longer available on YouTube in the US. We are in active conversations with SESAC and are hoping to reach a new deal as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, Variety sources report that the deal doesn’t technically expire for a week, suggesting YouTube may be using the disruption as a negotiating tactic. SESAC represents far fewer artists than ASCAP or BMI, but due to the stature of the artists involved — including the names above and others, like Bob Dylan, Green Day, Kendrick Lamar, Mariah Carey, and Neil Diamond — the potential lost income for both companies could be staggering. A similar situation between TikTok and UMG was solved in relatively short order after both companies balked at such losses, so don’t expect this situation to continue for too much longer, either. As for those rumors, remember to check your sources — some guy paying Elon $8 bucks a month to force you to see their terrible takes probably doesn’t pass muster.

Keeping up with new music can be exhausting, even impossible. From the weekly album releases to standalone singles dropping on a daily basis, the amount of music is so vast it’s easy for something to slip through the cracks. Even following along with the Uproxx recommendations on a daily basis can be a lot to ask, so every Monday we’re offering up this rundown of the best new music this week.

This week saw Lady Gaga go full Harley Quinn and The Weeknd continue to roll out his new era. Yeah, it was a great week for new music. Check out the highlights below.

For more music recommendations, check out our Listen To This section, as well as our Indie Mixtape and Pop Life newsletters.

Lady Gaga — “The Joker”

LG7 isn’t here quite yet, but LG6.5 is: After teasing the latter, Lady Gaga confirmed she had Harlequin, an album that ties into her movie Joker: Folia á Deux, on the way. Many of the songs are covers, including “The Joker,” which Gaga gives a rock edge for her rendition.

The Weeknd and Playboi Carti — “Timeless”

Like many before him, The Weeknd has tapped Playboi Carti to give his song a boost, tasking him with guesting on “Timeless.” The song is the latest from The Weeknd’s upcoming album Hurry Up Tomorrow, and it’s an atmospheric, electronic-influenced banger.

Tommy Richman — “Temptations”

Tommy Richman is the “Million Dollar Baby” guy, yes, but his debut album Coyote should serve to expand that definition. “Temptations,” for example, is built on a strong bass groove complemented by yet another catchy hook from Richman.

Tee Grizzley — “Blow For Blow” Feat. J. Cole

J. Cole has delivered what feels like an album’s worth of features in 2024, and he’s back at it again. This time, he linked with Tee Grizzley on “Blow For Blow,” which features Pi’erre Bourne production.

BIA and Lil Yachty — “Pissed Off”

Lil Yachty has been all over the map in 2024, and his latest adventure brings him to BIA for the collaboration “Pissed Off.” The menacing, sub-three-minute track sees, as the title indicates, the two airing their grievances

Saweetie — “Is It The Way”

Uproxx’s Aaron Williams notes of the latest from Saweetie, “Pairing a trunk-rattling Texas beat with a loop from Jill Scott’s 2001 hit ‘The Way,’ Saweetie contemplates all the attention she gets while combining the best parts of her last two singles.”

Christina Aguilera — “What A Girl Wants (Live)” Feat. Sabrina Carpenter

It’s tough to call Sabrina Carpenter one of the biggest pop stars of her generation just yet, purely because she hasn’t been on top for that long yet. It certainly seems like she’s here to stay, though, and the iconic Christina Aguilera seems to agree, as she recruited Carpenter to refresh “What A Girl Wants.”

Willow — “Wanted” Feat. Kamasi Washington

Willow has again and again proven herself to be an artist eager to try different things, and on “Wanted,” she links up with Kamasi Washington. He brings his jazz chops to the song, which has wildly varying tempos that make for an intriguingly herky-jerky experience.

Leon Bridges — “That’s What I Love”

Bridges has a self-titled album on the way in a few days, and he offered a preview of it last week with “That’s What I Love.” Bridges does a lot of things well, but he’s especially adept as making enveloping slow-burners, and that’s just what he does here.

Maxo Kream and Tyler The Creator — “Cracc Era”

After teaming up on “Big Persona” in 2021, Tyler The Creator and Maxo Kream have reunited on the latter’s “Cracc Era.” Fans of early Tyler will like this one, as the song features the sort of straightforward, bass-heavy beat that he lived off of in his fledgling years.
