Everyone’s talking about… Prison Break
Remember Prison Break? It’s coming back!
Fox has confirmed that a 10-episode series has been greenlit with several of the show’s original actors, including Wentworth Miller, set to return.
It’s being described as a “sequel” and is said to take place a few years after where the first season finale ended.
Prison Break originally ran for four seasons from 2005 to 2009. It’s just the latest show to be brought back to life following announcements earlier this year that The X Files and Twin Peaks would be making long-awaited returns. (Variety)
