Fox is Bringing Back ‘Prison Break’
This news was announced at the Television Critics Association’s press tour. It has also been reported on by a number of entertainment outlets. Word has begun circulating that the Prison Break production team will fully or mostly be returning for the reprisal.
Prison Break‘s aforementioned great personalities included T-Bag Bagwell (Robert Knepper), Sara Tancredi (Sarah Wayne Callies), Fernando Sucre (Amaury Nolasco), and more. The cast beyond the two brothers helped the series build a following and be enjoyable television during its weekly airings. A TVLine article states that T-Bag and Sara will be featured characters on the new version with the same actors playing them. This article goes on to mention how Prison Break will likely be coming back during a time that existed before the show’s original finale. Stated in a less complicated fashion, this would explain how Scofield, who was thought to had died when we last watched the show, could be returning for a spinoff.
No matter how exactly Fox plays its cards here, it’s exciting to know that Prison Break will be resurrected. Like Scofield, powerful pieces of work might be killed, but TV has the beauty of immortality. Even if the show’s events take place before Scofield died, we can still call this whole project a resurrection.
