A shorter but new trailer of AMC's miniseries "The Prisoner" is being shown on the network this week. It is the compacted version of the 9 minutes trailer presented by the show's panel at the July convention of San Diego Comic Con. If the extended trailer is crowded with explanations like what "The Village" is, the new trailer is focused on the storyline starting from the arrival of Jim Caviezel's Number Six to his attempt to escape.

"The Prisoner" is based on the series of the same name airing on U.K.'s ITV in the '60s.
