Prison Break stars Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell reunite for new hostage drama
Miller and Purcell will both star in new series Snatchback.
Seven years after the last season of Prison Break aired, it has been reported that stars Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell will reunite as the leads of a new series.
Variety has reported that Miller and Purcell will star in Snatchback, a series being developed at Universal Television and written by The Shield and Chuck executive producer Scott Rosenbaum.
The synopsis for the show says: "Inspired by the life of a real covert intelligence officer who is still active in the field today, the series follows a highly skilled privately contracted team of operatives as they recover hostages across the globe from some of the most exotic, and equally dangerous, locations on the planet."
Purcell's wife, Tish Cyrus-Purcell, commented: "We are absolutely thrilled to be a part of this team with such talented individuals.
"Rosenbaum has crafted an emotionally charged and high-stakes world where Dominic Purcell and Wentworth Miller reunite, bringing to the screen the extraordinary heroes of a real-life private hostage recovery team."

In November 2023, it was reported that a new version of the show was in development, which would be set in the same world as the original series but featuring a different cast and characters.
If this show were to air, it would see Prison Break following the same model as Suits and The Office, both of which have revival/spin-off series in development set in the same world as the original but following different characters and stories.
