A Prison Break reboot is officially in development at Fox, with original creator Paul Scheuring and stars Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell set to return. The network announced it at the Televisions Critics’ Association’s summer press tour Wednesday.
The show will take place after Season 4, but ignores the straight-to-video movie which originally tied up the series and which saw the death of Miller’s character Michael Scofield.
Chairman and CEO Dana Walden said
“I would describe it as a bit of a sequel, It picks up with the characters several years after we left them in the show. The brothers will be back. Some of the iconic characters from that show will be back. I don’t think Paul knows exactly where it’s going over the 10 episode arc, but it will address some of the questions from the original show but also appeal to new audiences.”
