FOX is heading back to jail with a continuation of their Prison Break TV series. Original stars Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell will return, as will other actors from the original 2005-09 series. Chairman of the Fox Television Group, Gary Newman, hinted that iconic characters would be returning but didn’t name names.
Prison Break creator Paul Scheuring is currently writing the first episode and series bible. Once he’s done, Newman indicated it would get a straight-to-series order.
Chairman Dana Walden said, “It picks up the characters several years after we left them in the last season of the show… I don’t think Paul knows exactly where he’s going with the 10-episode arc, but it definitely will address some questions that were set up at the end of the series.”
One issue would have to be figuring out how Michael (Miller) cheated death in the last episodes.
What do you think? Does this sound like a good idea? Will you watch the Prison Break event series?
YAY!!! I was so upset when they ended Prison Break and now I’m so happy it’s being revived! Hope it’s on SOON.
Awesome idea I knew he was still alive and it was all part of the plan!!! Can’t wait!!!
T-Bag wasn’t killed in Prison Break. He was returned to Prison and then broke out again to reprise his character for one episode on Breakout Kings which wasn’t killed then either.
Right now, he signed on to iZombie, but just because he’s on one show. There’s been actors who have appeared on multiple shows in the past.
These characters should come back as well!
Fernando Sucre, Dr. Sara Tancredi, Brad Bellick, Alex Mahone, Paul Kellerman and Benjamin Miles ‘C-Note’ Franklin.
Wasn’t Brad killed in the last season too or do I have the wrong character
When they went after the ‘device’ a tube had; water came rushing; he died…
Did *I* screw up here ???

Yes please bring it back. Will definitely watch!!
This is a mistake. The original was so good why? Why? Why?
And bringing back Dominic Purcell? Why? Why? Why? He’s doing so good with his own movies. Again, why, why, why? Yes, I know the success of the original brings this about.
It will last maybe one year. Again, this is a mistake. I would suggest they bring something back that should never have gone away even if they were shown on other channels. Figure it out.
I’m glad they are bringing prison break back, it’s an awesome show!! Hopefully it will premier soon, excited to see it!!!
This is the most happy I’ve ever been at seeing a series come back! I just did a little happy dance!
Robert Knepper would be awesome. If they can bring Michael back, they can bring T-Bag back too!
Yes prison break of course its a good idea can’t wait just need to know when its on netflex! So excited.
Will ABSOLUTELY watch Prison Break again!!!!
I am thrilled. I loved that show. Can’t wait!!!!!! Prison Break rocks!!!
Bring prison break back!!! It was an awesome series!!! Yes, I will watch it again!!!
I’m so happy to hear this about Prison Break coming back. Every week couldn’t come fast enough for me. Loved the show and the actors in it, all were great. Too bad you couldn’t figure a way to have Robert Knepper be alive still, it would make story even more riveting.
I CANT BELIEVE IT; First X-Files NOW Prison Break
NOW all we need is Intelligence (CBS) and FLASHFORWARD (ABC) back
The world is GREAT again!!!

Love to the Prison Break come back but it depends on the writer if he can make it as exciting as the original one.
So excited for a sequel to Prison Break, it was a FUN SHOW, very exciting. I never saw it on FOX, caught it on Netflix, afterward – but I’ll watch it on FOX!
