Hulu has ordered a pilot for a new version of Prison Break, the hit television series that aired for five seasons from 2005 to 2017, Good Morning America has confirmed.
Mayans M.C. co-creator Elgin James is slated to write and executive produce the new series, which will come from 20th Television, a division of Disney Television Studios.
Along with Prison Break creator Paul Scheuring, former original series executive producers Dawn Olmstead, Marty Adelstein and Neal Moritz are on board to executive produce the new series.
The original show featured the thrilling story of two brothers, Lincoln Burrows and Michael Scofield — played by Dominic Purcell and Wentworth Miller, respectively — who devise an elaborate plan to break out of detention. The plot largely centered on Miller’s character, who attempts to spring his brother from prison after he was sentenced for a crime he did not commit.
The first four seasons of Prison Break were followed by a made-for-TV film revisiting the characters called The Final Break.
The success of that film led to a fifth season of the show on Fox, which concluded in 2017.
Disney is the parent company of 20th Television, ABC News and Good Morning America.
Noah Centineo is back with more action and comedy on season 2 of The Recruit.
In the Netflix drama, Centineo stars as rookie CIA lawyer Owen Hendricks, whose life is upended when an Eastern European asset threatens extortion. As the connection to the CIA comes to light, Hendricks is drawn into dangerous international politics, risking everything to survive.
The first season, which premiered in 2022 with eight episodes, ended on a cliff-hanger with Hendricks and Max Meladze (Laura Haddock) captured and in serious danger.
Season 2, premiering Jan. 30, follows Hendricks as he takes on a high-stakes espionage mission in South Korea, only to discover that the greatest threat may come from within the CIA itself, according to a synopsis.
In an interview with Good Morning America ahead of the premiere, Centineo shared his experience balancing his roles as both actor and executive producer.
“There’s more of an obligation, I think, to really do your best to make sure other people are comfortable and they have what they need to do the job that they’re hired to do,” he said. “There’s a little bit more checking of responsibility in that regard.”
Centineo also discussed his experience filming in South Korea, noting that adjusting to the time difference was the biggest challenge.
“You know, developing or acclimating to the new time zone,” he said. “The crews there were incredible, young, spirited, hard working, you know, really willing to work. And that was great, because I had never filmed there before — the locations were gorgeous.”
He continued, “We just had so many signs and so many lights naturally that were built into the buildings, and then you just went down the street so that they reflected them, and it’s super cinematic. The food is incredible there. Yeah, I had a wonderful time in South Korea.”
