Ahead of the show’s return to streaming, the planned Prison Break reboot recently got a big update.
What’s the latest Prison Break reboot update?
According to a new report from Variety, Hulu has officially greenlit a reboot of the iconic action series. The project, which has been in the works since last year, will include Emily Browning as Cassidy, Drake Rodger as Tommy, Lukas Gage as Jackson, Clayton Cardenas as Michael a.k.a “Ghost,” JR Bourne as Junior, Georgie Flores as Andrea, and Myles Bullock as Darius a.k.a “Red.”
The new show will be set in the same universe as the original series, but will feature new characters and an entirely new storyline. According to Variety, the new series will follow “an ex-soldier turned corrections officer (Browning)” that “takes a job at one of the deadliest prisons in America to prove just how far she’ll go for someone she loves.”
Elgin James will serve as the writer, showrunner, and executive producer of the project, and will also direct the show’s pilot episode. Prison Break creator Paul Scheuring will also be attached as an executive producer.
Created by Scheuring, Prison Break debuted in 2005 and centered on Michael Scofield as he’s sent to prison in an effort to save his wrongfully convicted brother Lincoln Burrows from death row and break him out. At the same time, he’s looking to find the real perpetrator of the murder he’s accused of, utilizing the help of a select group of fellow inmates and prison doctor Sara (Callies). The show ran for five seasons on Fox and was a massive hit.
The original series starred Dominic Purcell, Wentworth Miller, Amaury Nolasco, Robert Knepper, Sarah Wayne Callies, and Rockmund Dunbar.
