Prison Break was revived — and not for the first time — on Netflix last year when it was added to the platform and topped Nielsen charts for months straight. This prompted Hulu to greenlight a Prison Break reboot near the end of 2024, one that reportedly had no plans to bring back any former Prison Break stars. However, this didn’t stop fans from speaking their mind, with many calling for original stars Dominic Purcell and Wentworth Miller to return as Michael Scofield and Lincoln Burrows. Purcell, who is also known for his work as Mick Rory in DC’s Arrowverse, decided he’s heard enough. Purcell took to his personal Instagram to definitively respond to the rumors, shutting them down and confirming he will not return in the Prison Break reboot.
The Prison Break reboot is reportedly set in the same universe as the original Prison Break, but featuring all-new characters.

Dylan Minnette began his acting career as a child actor, most notably in Prison Break, where he played the younger version of Wentworth Miller's Michael Scofield. He went on to appear in several smaller television roles before landing a major role in Netflix's teen drama, 13 Reasons Why, as Clay Jensen. The actor is also known for his appearances in the horror and thriller genres on the big screen, including Let Me In, Don't Breathe, The Open House, and the fifth installment of the Scream franchise. From that point forward, Minnette has dedicated much of his time to being the co-lead singer for the indie rock band Wallows. With no new acting projects announced yet, the actor, 28, recently weighed in on whether he has completely left acting behind for good.
Over the past three years, Minnette has shifted his focus to his band Wallows, with the 2022 series The Dropout...

Horror is one of the hardest genres to nail down, as even a minuscule mistake could result in a horrific film, and that too not in a good way. The films on this list have also made the same mistake, but in their case, it was not a minor one, as after watching them, it feels like the director had two choices and he always chose the wrong one. So, as a public service, we compiled this list of horrible horror films that are currently available on Prime Video, so that you, our reader, can avoid them.

The Prison Break reboot is building its cast one eerie guest star at a time. Hulu’s upcoming pilot set in the world of the original Fox series has just added four more actors in major guest roles — and they’re bringing some serious genre cred with them. As reported by Variety, Ray McKinnon, Margo Martindale, Donal Logue, and Lili Taylor have joined the pilot in guest spots. The new series hails from Mayans M.C. co-creator Elgin James, and while the exact plot is still under wraps, it’s clear this version of Prison Break is putting together a crew that could rival Michael, Linc, Sucre and T-Bag.

Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller) has a special gift. During the five seasons "Prison Break" was on the air, he showed that there wasn't a single penitentiary on the planet he couldn't break in or out of. Granted, he didn't visit every prison in the world, but the show establishes that he knows how to get out of any sticky situation, so why should we believe that there are any cells that could keep him locked up? For viewers, Michael's escapades provided some edge-of-the-seat entertainment, even when the series started getting ridiculous and running out of steam.
Then again, prison wasn't the only problem Michael had to contend with on "Prison Break." At one point, he suffers from a brain tumor that puts his life in danger, requiring him to get an experimental treatment. However, his problems further intensify when he enters into business with some bad people and gets caught up in an explosion.

What film or show comes to mind when someone says "popular prison escape story?" You might think of "The Count of Monte Cristo," a tale that, after all, uses a memorable prison escape as a catalyst for revenge and retribution. However, folks are more likely to mention 1994's "The Shawshank Redemption," an almost operatic tale of corruption and violence that ends on a hopeful, cathartic note. This critically acclaimed film is, of course, based on Stephen King's "Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption," one of the author's most compelling realist novellas about perseverance in the face of systemic injustice. With this in mind, it makes sense for King to have an affinity for similar prison break stories, especially ones that approach the same premise from a vastly different angle.

Autism isn’t some rare mystery condition hiding in the shadows; it’s actually way more common than most people think. It’s not a sickness or something you catch, and it definitely doesn’t come with a one-size-fits-all manual. Autism is just a different way some brains are wired.
Some folks might find it tricky to pick up on social cues or get overwhelmed by loud noises or bright lights, while others might have a super sharp memory, hyper-focus, or a unique creative flair. And guess what? That includes people in Hollywood, too.

The cast of the Prison Break reboot continues to grow, and Deadline reports that Clayton Cardenas (Mayor of Kingstown), Jr Bourne (Teenwolf), Georgie Flores (Into The Dark), and Myles Bullock (Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist) have joined as series regulars.
Cardenas and Bourne were both main cast members on Mayans M.C., so this will be something of a reunion as the Prison Break reboot pilot is being written and executive-produced by Mayans M.C. co-creator Elgin James. Cardenas will play Ghost, a “ruthlessly dangerous inmate at one of the deadliest prisons in America.” Bourne will play Junior, a “mentally unstable lone survivor of a decades-old prison break that devasted the town.” Bullock will play Darius ‘Red’ Lewis, an inmate. Flores will play Andrea, a “female cadet training to be a Corrections Officer.“

The Prison Break reboot at Hulu may not be giving us another season with Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller) and Lincoln Burrows (Dominic Purcell), but it is giving us quite the new cast to make up for it. According to a new report from Variety, the Elgin James-created reboot has cast three series regulars — and they all come from majorly successful shows.
Emily Browning, Lukas Gage, and Drake Rodger have been cast to lead the show for the pilot episode that has been ordered by the streamer. And while you may not know those names off the top of your head, you absolutely know their faces and have likely seen (and loved!) at least one thing they have done in recent years.

Sometimes you know what people are watching on Netflix just by being part of culture. It’s not going to shock anyone to learn that “Squid Game” and the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight were, indeed, hits.
But when you dive further into the streamer’s data, weirder trends begin to emerge.
For example, did you know that in the last six months of 2024, people were all about “Prison Break” and that audiences were watching that nearly 20-year-old Fox series far more than both “Lost” or “Dexter”? Well, now you do.

Arrowverse has always been leaps and bounds ahead of everyone when it comes to presenting inclusion and diversity on screen, especially in the superhero genre. In this, however, one of the most notable moments was when Greg Berlanti, who was the producer behind the show, brought forth an on-screen gay kiss. This sequence had a huge impact on the audience, as this was not that prevalent in television at the time.

Reassembling at a Megacon Orlando panel, Legends actor Caity Lotz, Brandon Routh, Arthur Darvill, and Matt Ryan were all asked what characters they'd like to play if James Gunn ever cast them in the Dcu timeline. In response, Lotz and Darvill selected Catwoman and Alfred Pennyworth, respectively, while Routh chose Superman, having previously played him in Superman Returns and reprised his role in Crisis on Infinite Earths alongside his Arrowverse performance as Ray Palmer/the Atom. Ryan, meanwhile, selected John Constantine, the role he played for nearly a decade across NBC's short-lived Constantine series, the Arrowverse, and multiple animated films, including the DC Animated Movie Universe's three-part Crisis adaptation.

Ryan, meanwhile, selected John Constantine, the role he played for nearly a decade across NBC's short-lived Constantine series, the Arrowverse, and multiple animated films, including the DC Animated Movie Universe's three-part Crisis adaptation.
Q: “If you could play a character in James Gunn’s new Dcu, which one would you pick?â...

"Prison Break" was one of the most popular shows of the early 00s, and recently got a second life thanks to streaming. It's a show that — like "24" and "Lost" — helped popularize serialized narratives in network TV. Instead of standalone episodes that made it easy for casual viewers to dip in and out, "Prison Break" told an ongoing story where every episode directly built up to the next one. This forced viewers to keep tuning in every single week expecting actual resolutions to the story.
The show follows two brothers, Lincoln Burrows (Dominic Purcell) and Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller), whose lives are upended after Lincoln is wrongfully accused of murdering the vice president's brother. When Lincoln is quickly sentenced to death and incarcerated in a high security prison, Michael takes it upon himself to commit armed robbery to get sentenced to the same prison as his brother. It's not just because he misses him,...

Reboots are all the rage now, and here’s a quick rundown of every network show that is getting the treatment!
“Everything old is new again” surely applies to TV these days. It’s like you can’t flip a channel or put on a streamer without a new take on an old show, some of which went off the air not that long ago. Paramount+ just canceled the revival of Fraiser and some old cable shows like White Collar may get the sequel treatment soon.
For network shows, it looks like reboots won’t be dying anytime soon. Networks rely on name recognition for a TV show and often help if the original actors or creators take part in it. Some shows may seem to not need a reboot, while others are shows fans would love to see coming back.

NCIS could solve impossible crimes, chase down international spies, and keep fans hooked for decades – but there was one case even the show couldn’t crack. Michael Weatherly once revealed that despite its massive success, NCIS struggled to win over a certain audience. No matter how many action-packed chases or Dinozzo one-liners they threw in, this group just wouldn’t budge.

It wasn’t about plot twists or explosions, though; this was next-level stubborn. Even with all its TV dominance, NCIS had to accept that some viewers were simply immune to its charm. After all, even the biggest hits have their blind spots.

Get ready to leave your seat because Prison Break is returning! The beloved drama, which first hooked us in 2005, is being rebooted, and we couldn’t be more excited. For those who missed the original, it followed Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller) as he intentionally gets thrown into prison to help his wrongfully convicted brother escape.
Over five wild seasons, the show became known for its jaw-dropping twists, keeping us all on the edge of our seats. Though it wrapped up in 2009 (with a TV movie and a short-lived spinoff), Prison Break came back for a fifth season in 2017, which didn’t hit the mark. Now, after a long break, a new reboot is on the horizon; here’s everything we know so far!

For five pulse-pounding seasons, the 2005 smash hit crime drama Prison Break kept audiences hooked with its complex characters, thrilling twists-and-turns, and intricate storylines, with the acclaimed series focusing on the newly-incarcerated brothers Lincoln Burrows and Michael Scofield as they set out to devise an elaborate plot to escape the penitentiary after Lincoln is framed for a murder he did not commit and given a death sentence.
Michael gets himself locked up along with his older sibling in order to break him free and clear his name, with the duo meeting a slew of dangerous characters and making loyal allies along the way. The popular series initially ran from 2005 to 2009 for four dazzling seasons before returning for a 2009 television film and the subsequent fifth and final installment in 2017, and notably featured the talents of stars like Dominic Purcell, Wentworth Miller, and Sarah Wayne Callies.

Prison Break introduced audiences to some of the best characters in a TV drama. Though the show had a high kill count, some of its best and most interesting characters are still alive, which leaves the door open for a cameo in the upcoming reboot. It has been confirmed that Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell will not be reprising their roles as Michael and Lincoln, but this does not mean that other members of the Fox River Eight could not appear. So far, the Prison Break reboot's plot has been kept under wraps, so there is potential for familiar faces.
Hulu has ordered a pilot episode of a new Prison Break series, which appears to be a way to test the water with a new potential audience. This is likely to be a smart decision, as Prison Break's season 5 was considered a mistake. The Prison Break reboot will take...

A few years before superhero fatigue kicked in, it seemed like every big-name actor in Hollywood was getting cast as a superhero. Whether it was for a quick payday or because their kids were huge fans, fans definitely enjoyed watching these A-listers take on the superhero suits, and the actors seemed to have fun too. Well, almost all of them.

Elon Musk ranks among the world’s richest people and also one of the smartest. Musk’s wealth is primarily built with his role in SpaceX and Tesla, Inc. among other business interests. While Musk’s celebrity status means he is often in the news because of his personal life, the businessman has never shied away from speaking about struggling with a neurodevelopmental disorder.

Like Jaws to shark movies and The Exorcist to possession flicks, any dinosaur-related media will inevitably be compared to 1993’s Jurassic Park. While this makes a lot of sense, with Spielberg’s classic bringing the prehistoric beasts to life in new and exciting ways that previous filmmakers could only dream of (and that future filmmakers would struggle to recreate), it also means that some truly interesting dinosaur stories have been overshadowed by Jp‘s legacy.
In the past, I’ve recommended some fun dinosaur films that aren’t Jurassic Park, but today I’d like to discuss something a little less cinematic – Hallmark and Rtl’s forgotten miniseries adaptation of James Gurney’s Dinotopia. So if you’re in the mood to revisit a quintessentially 2000s yarn about shamanistic reptiles and the naive humans that live alongside them, read on to discover why I think this family-oriented production might also appeal to horror fans.

The Prison Break cast is full of great actors who brought the show’s complex antiheroes and despicable villains to life, and they all have impressive filmographies outside the series. Prison Break revolves around the bond between two brothers and their plot to break out of jail. Along the way, they're helped out by the prison doctor, their childhood friend and lawyer, and a handful of fellow inmates who also want to break free. The producers of Prison Break found the perfect actor to play each part in the cast.
Traditionally, TV shows set up a main cast with several major characters that the audience can check in on every week. But Prison Break was far from a traditional TV show. Lincoln Burrows and his loyal brother Michael Scofield are the only characters who appear in every episode of Prison Break. Thanks to constant character deaths, the cast is always changing.

Over the past decade or so, reboots and revivals have become a major source of contention among consumers. More and more networks and streamers began rolling out updated iterations of past favorites, whether it was Netflix getting the Tanner family back together for Fuller House or The CW reimagining 1980s primetime soap Dynasty through a modern lens.
The success of reboots and revivals wasn't always a given, even if established IP seems like a safe bet for a slam dunk. While the craze has slowed down ever so slightly, there have still been plenty of returns, like sitcom revivals Will & Grace, Frasier, Roseanne, Night Court, and Mad About You, drama reboots like Charmed, Bel-Air, Gossip Girl, and Magnum P.I.

Prison Break seemed to lose its way as the series progressed, but the upcoming Prison Break reboot could fix its biggest mistake by bringing a character back. When it first aired in 2005, the series quickly became one of the most compelling crime shows of all time, with Prison Break spin-offs, and even a movie. Season 1 focused on Michael's mission to break Lincoln out of prison, and the subsequent escape of the "Fox River Eight." Season 2 dealt with the resulting manhunt, set against a wider conspiracy. This storyline introduced a more dangerous kind of villain to Prison Break.
Most of season 1's villains were sadistic guards and powerful inmates. However, when the main characters escape into the world again, they are pitted against a new set of villains, who have the law (and even the president) on their side. One of these is FBI agent Alex Mahone, whose intelligence and problem-solving ability match Michael's.

A reboot of the popular drama series Prison Break is in development, and here's everything we know about the return of the hit Fox show. Debuting back in 2005, the original Prison Break centered on Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller), a man who gets himself locked up in order to help his brother escape from prison after being set up for a crime he didn't commit. Across its five seasons on the air, the story grew more and more elaborate as Prison Break left viewers hanging on dramatic twists that defined the television of the mid-2000s.
Prison Break was originally canceled in 2009 after four seasons, but the incredible popularity of the show spawned a mobile-exclusive spinoff series, video games, and even a TV movie called The Final Break. Additionally, Prison Break was brought back for a fifth season in 2017, but it was largely written off as a mistake because of its poor execution.

“I’m sorry”: Wentworth Miller Quit Prison Break Because He Was Tired of Playing a Straight Character
When you think of Wentworth Miller, you picture those piercing blue eyes and the brilliant, calculated character—Michael Scofield, a highly intelligent structural engineer who deliberately gets himself incarcerated in a maximum-security prison to help his wrongfully convicted brother escape the death penalty. Miller became the hero of millions for his role in Prison Break, the one you couldn’t help but root for.
But behind those captivating blue eyes, he was keeping a secret.

Despite the accolades and legions of fans, the actor, who came out as gay in 2013, had a moment of reckoning. The character he portrayed no longer resonated with him, and he knew it was time for a change.

It's time for a new generation to enjoy what should be a one-season premise that is stretched beyond the realm of probability yet is completely entertaining from start to finish. Prison Break became a signature hit for Fox when it premiered in 2005, and now a new chapter is one step closer to becoming a reality thanks to Hulu.
Per Deadline, a new version of Prison Break has been handed a pilot order at Hulu courtesy of Elgin James, the man behind Mayans M.C. and The Outlaws. Plot details are being kept locked up as tight as the would-be prisoners, but the new take will reportedly be set in the same universe with a new story and cast. That means that fans of Wentworth Miller's Michael Scofield and Dominic Purcell's Lincoln Burrows will have to get attached to a new group of people trying to escape their prison walls.

Per Deadline, Hulu has ordered a pilot for the Prison Break reboot from Mayans M.C. co-creator Elgin James. Plot details are being kept under wraps, but the report states that while the project is its own thing, it will be set in the same universe as the original series.
If you’re hoping to see any original Prison Break characters show up in the reboot, it was previously reported that the series “is not expected to involve the characters at the center of the original series.” Plus, Wentworth Miller (who played Michael Scofield) has said he’s done with the series as he no longer wants to play heterosexual characters.
James will executive produce through his Sierra Drive banner alongside original series executive producers Dawn Olmstead, Neal Moritz, and Marty Adelstein. Prison Break creator Paul Scheuring is also onboard as an executive producer. Earlier this summer, Adelstein gave an update on the project,...

Just when we thought the Prison Break franchise was over, it sounds like we’re getting another series.
Deadline reported around this time last year that Hulu had put a “new incarnation” of the hit drama into development. Today, they reported that it has officially received a pilot order.
Prison Break first aired on Fox in 2005 before being canceled in 2009 after four seasons.

However, Fox aired a limited series revival in 2017, bringing back the show’s key players, including Wentworth Miller, Sarah Wayne Callies, and Dominic Purcell.
The next chapter will be an entirely new concept but will still take place in the universe of the original series.

The “Prison Break” reboot in development is one step closer to freedom, landing a pilot order from Hulu.
The new iteration of the series, from “Mayans M.C.” co-creator and showrunner Elgin James and 20th Television, is not expected to feature the characters at the center of the original jailhouse drama, Michael Scofield (played by Wentworth Miller) and Lincoln Burrows (Dominic Purcell). Rather, it will exist in the same universe as the original “Prison Break” but focus on a new crew of inmates.
James executive produces alongside Dawn Olmstead, “Prison Break” creator Paul Scheuring, Marty Adelstein and Neal Moritz. In addition to the “Sons of Anarchy” spinoff “Mayans,” James also co-created with Stephen Merchant the Amazon Studios/BBC One series “The Outlaws,” starring Christopher Walken.
“Prison Break” ran for five seasons on Fox and spawned a TV movie, “The Final Break,” and a low-budget spinoff, “Prison Break: Proof of Innocence,” which...

Hulu's preparing to spend some time behind the walls with a planned reboot of the hit series Prison Break. A new take on the show, this one from Elgin James, has just taken a major step forward toward becoming a reality.
Per Deadline, Hulu has officially ordered a pilot for the Prison Break reboot. Should the streamer be satisfied with the pilot, a series order will be next. The project comes from James, known for co-creating FX's Sons of Anarchy spinoff series, Mayans M.C., as well as the BBC/Prime Video series The Outlaws. The potential spinoff with James was first reported to be in early development last year, and finally getting its pilot order follows the original Prison Break recently getting a resurgence in viewership on Netflix after a 2-year hiatus on that platform.
