Prison Break

Prison Break fans are eager to see Michael Scofield and Lincoln Burrows pulling great escapes in a 2017 context, the recent revival trailer emerging as one of FOX’s most popular, but production seemingly got a little too rough with star Dominic Purcell. The actor suffered a major facial injury on-set, necessitating some time off, but will it delay the premiere?

FOX’s Prison Break revival may not arrive until spring 2017, but why wait for an extended look at Michael Scofield back in action? Yes, the first Prison Break revival trailer is here, breaking out of all the prisons fit to be broken out of. I just got the title!

Following its initial orders, FOX didn’t waste much time setting up a schedule for the 2016-17 season, including similar event series bows as 24: Live Another Day and The X-Files. This time around, 24: Legacy and Prison Break will get the big midseason debuts, while newer shows like Lethal Weapon will bow on Wednesdays.

Like The X-Files before it, FOX’s Prison Break revival wouldn’t prove half so fun without returning cast, and now another two names have been added to roll call. That’s right, Robert Knepper will return as Theodore “T-Bag” Bagwell, alongside Rockmund Dunbar as Benjamin Miles “C-Note” Franklin.

There’s no stopping the Prison Break revival train at this point, now that Sarah Wayne Callies has joined Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell. Now, Amaury Nolasco is ready for another break as well, returning Fernando to the fold.

FOX’s upcoming Prison Break revival continues to lock down (prison puns never fail to amuse, so I’ll spare you) its cast after series star Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell, and now another familiar face has checked in for roll call. Original series star and Walking Dead alum Sarah Wayne Callies has officially surrendered to reprise her role, but what “biggest escape ever” lies in store?

FOX’s X-Files revival definitely threw some cold water on the prospect of reviving old TV series with new seasons, but will Prison Break manage to break the mold? New casting details have seen several additions to the new series, as well as negotiations for original series stars, and our first details of the plot.

Just the other day Prison Break alum Wentworth Miller confirmed that FOX’s proposed revival would likely shoot after Legends of Tomorrow wraps, but consider the Scofield brothers officially back in business. Not only has FOX confirmed production on the revival, we also know how and when the famous escape artists will reunite.

Last year saw FOX’s Prison Break joining the great circle of TV revivals, though series leads Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell’s Legend-ary commitments seemed an understandable snag. Now, Purcell and Miller maintain that the revival is still “moving forward,” and may shoot in the spring after Legends of Tomorrow wraps.

A ways back, FOX opted to dive even further into its revival pool than 24 or The X-Files, as rumors swirled of a possible Prison Break event series. Now, not only has the network confirmed another Prison Break in the works, but so too are original series stars Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell onboard.
