Fox had a hit on its hands when it revived THE X-FILES earlier this year and now the network is looking to duplicate that success with another revival event series: the return of PRISON BREAK.
The original PRISON BREAK may have ended with the death of Michael Scofield, but star Wentworth Miller will be very much involved in the revival. In fact, the new PRISON BREAK centers around the discovery that Michael may actually be alive. Armed with hope, Lincoln and Sara team up to help engineer the show’s biggest prison escape ever. And three of Fox River State Penitentiary’s most notorious escapees, Sucre, T-Bag and C-Note, are also pulled back into action.
