Prison Break Greenlit for Limited Series Return
Fox executives confirmed at the Television Critics Association that they have received a script for the new Prison Break limited series from original creator Paul Scheuring.
After the panel, chairman and CEO Dana Walden spoke to reporters in more detail on the upcoming series. As it is, Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell's involvement with The CW's Legends of Tomorrow puts on hold production, which there are hopes to begin this Spring.
Right now we're thinking nine [episodes]," Walden confirmed. "We're trying to carve out our production schedule. Wentworth and Dom are obviously in CW shows right now so we're trying to work our production schedule around theirs. Hopefully we're thinking late March."
Walden continued on to describe what kind of direction the series is going to take. "The story ravels on an international landscape. It's not a domestic show. It's exciting. I'm hoping we'll see many of the great characters from that series return throughout the season. It just has all the twists and turns that I think you've come to expect from that show. Again, we open on a very international, very contemporary feeling story."
