Topic: FOX Officially Announces Prison Break Return In Development
At the TCA (Television Critics Association) press tour today, FOX's co-chairmen and CEOs Dana Walden and Gary Newman officially confirmed the reports from earlier this summer that the network is developing Prison Break to return as an event series, a la 24: Live Another Day. Prison Break creator Paul Scheuring is behind the revival.
Said Newman, "Paul Scheuring came in and pitched a great story to bring the show back. It’s going to bring back both brothers – Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell. Paul's busy writing the first episode and a [series] bible."
While there is no official greenlight yet, it certainly sounds promising, with Newman saying, "Once we have those written materials, we feel confident we’re going to be going straight to series with that one."
Said Walden, about Prison Break's return, "I would describe it as a bit of a sequel. It picks up the characters several years after we left them in the last season of the show. The brothers will be back. Some of the iconic characters from the show will be back. I don’t think Paul knows exactly where he's going over the 10-episode arc yet, but it will definitely address some questions that were set up at the end of the series for a new audience."
