After nearly two decades since its premiere, Prison Break is returning with its stars Dominic Purcell and Wentworth Miller. Fans are relieved to know that one significant detail remains unchanged.
The performers, who portrayed on-screen siblings Lincoln Burrows and Michael Scofield in the popular Fox show, are coming together once again to play the main characters in Snatchback.
Variety reports that the upcoming television series is a drama centered around recovering hostages, with The Shield’s Scott Rosenbaum in charge as writer and executive producer.
The logline officially states that the series is based on the life of a current covert intelligence officer and depicts a team of skilled private operatives as they rescue hostages from perilous locations around the world.
The series’ completely fresh concept, separate from Prison Break, is the reason why a number of fans are relieved.
Miller and Purcell also starred in The Flash together
Prison Break, which aired for four seasons from 2005 to 2009 and concluded with the movie Prison Break: The Final Break, has earned a reputation as one of the greatest TV shows ever made. This thrilling series captivated audiences with its dynamic characters and gripping storylines.
Despite being revived in 2017, Season 5 did not receive the same positive reception as its previous seasons. It was criticized for straying from its original style and making confusing choices with the storyline.
Snatchback successfully brings together legendary actors while also introducing an innovative concept, a choice that has garnered support from numerous TV enthusiasts.
“One user on X/Twitter wrote that they would rather have this than a new season of Prison Break. Although the show was great, they believe that another season is unnecessary.”
Another person commented, “I agree, these individuals are exceptional. However, it seems like their potential is being hindered by another Prison Break season. Their most recent release was not their best work.”
“Hopefully, this show doesn’t suffer the same fate as Prison Break, where it peaked in the first season and dragged on. We all remember how that turned out,”added a third person.
A fourth person also joined the conversation, stating, “It’s even better than a new season of Prison Break.”
Generally, supporters are eagerly anticipating the reunion of Purcell and Miller. Following their roles in Prison Break, they both acted in The Flash and Legends of Tomorrow as Mick Rory/Heat Wave and Leonard Snart/Captain Cold, respectively.
“The reunion of Dom and Wentworth is bringing me so much joy,”one fan expressed, while another remarked, “These two can continue working together forever.”
A third individual commented, “From Prison Break to Flash to Legends of Tomorrow to this! We are all excited for it.”
Continuing to expand on Snatchback, Tish Cyrus-Purcell, the wife of Purcell, enthusiastically stated, “We are extremely excited to join forces with this group of highly skilled individuals.”
“Rosenbaum has created a powerful and intense world, reuniting Dominic Purcell and Wentworth Miller to portray the heroic members of a real-life private team dedicated to rescuing hostages.”
