'Prison Break' Revival Rumors: Reunion Project in Development?
Fox's hit prison drama series "Prison Break" may return for a limited-series revival series, a report said.
An article from TV Line's Michael Ausiello said that the popular 2005-09 scripted program which featured of Wentworth Miller as Michael Scofield and Dominic Purcell as Lincoln Burrows could make a comeback to the small screens.
The reports said that although "details are sketchy," the "reunion project would be similar to last year's '24: Live Another Day'" whereby the revived series gets a limited number of episodes and concludes with a "closed-ended storyline."
Ausiello went on to cite Miller's earlier interview with E! News wherein he revealed that he had proposed an idea for the continuation of the show to Fox which "they seemed to think there was something there."
It was later found out through the network's co-chairman Gary Newman, who spoke at the Television Critics Association press tour earlier this year, that reviving the fan-favorite TV serial drama "would make the perfect event series." Newman, however, clarified that "there were no current plans" to bring Paul Scheuring's show back to the airwaves.
The drama, which went for four seasons, revolved around two brothers. Purcell's Lincoln was sentenced to death for a crime he apparently was innocent from. The younger sibling (Miller), on the other hand, devises a complicated plan to get Lincoln out from the penitentiary.
For the meantime, fans may get to see Miller and Purcell reuniting once again, this time as supervillains, for The CW and DC's upcoming superhero series titled "Legends of Tomorrow."
