Sarah Jones Teases ALCATRAZ

Are you ready for the brand new Fox series, ALCATRAZ?

The new drama kicks off tonight with a two-hour series debut, and when Warner Bros. took a few reporters up to the Vancouver-based set in October, star Sarah Jones (Rebecca) was happy to tease a few details about the mysterious show…

“The show is a procedural hybrid we’re getting to see [these characters] figure out a mystery every week, but there’s character added, there’s different layers of mythology as well,” Jones said. “And I would say that — speaking for Rebecca — it’s about her journey into a very new phase, a new chapter in her life that connects her to her past that she didn’t know about before. and her world is basically turned upside down in the pilot, and it follows her through trying to put the pieces together of trying to do that, while she’s catching the worst of the worst coming back and wreaking havoc on the people of America.”

And while yes, there are some LOST alumni working on the series, Jones was adamant that they are not the same show.

“I would say this is a different show entirely,” she said. “It truly is. And I think that we’re really fortunate to have the people who worked on LOST to work on this production because they add such a wonderful — [director] Jack [Bender] is incredible. What he has done with episode 2 and 3 is just so exciting. I can’t wait to see it…I couldn’t believe it when he gave me a little sampling of what to expect. And having Jorge [Garcia (Doc)] on here — it’s nice that there are people from Bad Robot who are so hands-on with this production, because it really brings the quality of the show to another level in my humble opinion.”

ALCATRAZ premieres at 8 PM on Fox. Will you be tuning in?
