Prison Break Revival Officially Greenlit At FOX

Last summer, a Prison Break event series was rumored to be in development by FOX but that's all we heard about it. Today during a TCA (Television Critics Association) panel, FOX officially announced that the show is officially coming back for an event type series, similar to X-Files.

It was also confirmed that the show's main stars,Wentworth Miller & Dominci Purcell (who are currently starring in CW's Legends of Tomorrow) will return to reprise their roles as brothers Michael Scofield and Lincoln Burrows. Producers, Paul T. Scheuring, Neal Moritz, Marty Adelstein, and Dawn Olmstead, will all return for the event as well.

As for other characters returning? FOX executives promised those in attendance that we'll see some more, but didn' name who. According to some sources over at TV Line, Sarah Wayne Calliles and Robert Knepper will return as Sara and T-Bag.

There was no release date mentioned for the show's debut, but we'll keep you updated as soon as we hear.
