Hulu has plans to reboot FOX’s Prison Break.
The new drama is set in the same universe as the original series but will feature a new cast.
Written and showrun by Elgin James (Mayans M.C.), and executive produced by Elgin and Prison Break creator Paul Scheuring, the reboot will star Emily Browning (American Gods) as an ex-soldier who becomes a corrections officer at one of the deadliest prisons in America “to prove just how far she’ll go for someone she loves.”
The new cast also includes Drake Rodger (The Winchesters), Lukas Gage (The White Lotus), Clayton Cardenas (The Cleaning Lady), JR Bourne (Teen Wolf), Georgie Flores (Famous in Love) and Myles Bullock (BMF).
The original series focused on brothers: Lincoln Burrows (Dominic Purcell) and Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller). When Lincoln is sentenced to death for a crime he did not commit, Michael comes up with a careful and intricate plan to both help his brother escape prison and clear his name.
The series originally ran for four seasons on FOX, from August 2005 to May 2009, followed by a movie, and a 9-episode revival in 2017.
More as we have it.
