Caffeinated Clint
Last week at the TCA’s, former “Prison Break” stars Dominic Purcell and Wentworth Miller announced that they’d been bugging Fox about bringing back the hit series. The duo, currently appearing as a villainous duo on The CW’s “The Flash”, seemingly want to reprise Linc and Michael – despite the fact one of them was without a pulse when the show ended a couple of years ago.
“We actually floated the idea to Fox very casually and they seemed very not casual about this interest,” Miller told E! News. “They seemed to think there was something there.”
Miller, who has transformed into an in-demand screenwriter since the end of the series, says they haven’t contacted any former co-stars about a reprise just yet.
“We haven’t reached out to anyone just yet. It’s just baby steps at this point, early stages.”
But “It’s something that Fox is, as Wentworth said, potentially excited about,” Purcell says, with Miller quickly adding, “Maybe definitely excited about. Maybe definitely.”
Miller said he could imagine “Prison Break” returning in the form of a limited ‘event series’ – much like Fox’s “24 : Live Another Day”.
Fox Group Chariman and CEOs Dana Walden and Gary Newman told acknowledged, at the TCA’s, discussions about a “Prison Break” redux.
“There’s some speculation in the press at Prison Break and we’ve made it clear at the studio that we’d bring Prison Break back at the studio,” Newman said. “It’s the perfect event series. But at the moment, we have nothing else to report.”
