Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell are reuniting (but not for Prison Break season 6)

As a long-time fan of gripping TV dramas, I can’t help but feel a sense of excitement and nostalgia as I hear about the recent developments in the world of “Prison Break.” This series has been a staple in my entertainment diet since its debut in 2005, and it’s amazing to see it still capturing hearts and minds almost two decades later.


Approximately two decades since its initial airing on Fox, “Prison Break,” the crime drama series, continues to captivate its devoted fanbase. Debuted in 2005, the show gained a cult following despite wrapping up after just four seasons in 2009. Five years later, a revival of nine episodes was released, but fans’ hunger for more hasn’t waned, as they continue to express their desire for a sixth season.

On July 29th, all five seasons of the cherished TV show were back on Netflix for streaming, which is bound to bring many viewers returning to the 90-episode series and others experiencing it for the first time. The speculation about another possible renewal season may arise again, but it doesn’t appear likely. Noteworthy is that the main cast members are planning a reunion instead.

Prison Break stars reuniting for new series Snatchback

In June, Entertainment Weekly announced that Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell were slated to star in the upcoming Universal Television series “Snatchback.” This show is inspired by the real-life exploits of a clandestine intelligence officer and follows a group of brave individuals as they endeavor to rescue hostages from perilous situations worldwide.

The series titled “Snatchback” is set to be penned and overseen by Scott Rosenbaum, renowned for his contributions to shows like “The Shield” and “Queen of the South.” Furthermore, Purcell, Tish Cyrus-Purcell (Miley Cyrus’ mother!), and Dannah Axelrod Summers will also serve as executive producers. At present, no network or streaming platform has been announced for this potential series.

Miller and Purcell have teamed up again after the end of Prison Break, making appearances across The CW’s Arrowverse shows like The Flash, Legends of Tomorrow, and Batwoman. However, if Snatchback gets picked up by a network or streaming platform, their new series would represent the first time they’ve shared a leading role in a show together since their popular series ended.

If you’re yearning for another thrilling saga like “Prison Break,” but without Lincoln Burrows and Michael Scofield, there might just be something in store! In November 2023, as per Variety, Elgin James, a co-creator of “Mayans M.C.,” was working on a new Hulu series that’s based within the realm of “Prison Break.” Naturally, this upcoming series wouldn’t revolve around any characters from the original.

As a devoted fan of “Prison Break” since its premiere in 2005, I can’t contain my excitement for the upcoming new projects that are in development for this iconic series. The anticipation is palpable, and it brings back so many memories of the thrilling plots and unforgettable characters that captured my heart over a decade ago.

All five seasons of Prison Break are currently available on Netflix.
