FOX's "Prison Break" revival will have a lot of familiar faces. Three other original stars, Robert Knepper, Rockmond Dunbar and Amaury Nolasco, have signed up to reprise their roles as Theodore "T-Bag" Bagwell, Benjamin Miles "C-Note" Franklin and Fernando Sucre respectively.
They join Wentworth Miller, Dominic Purcell and Sarah Wayne Callies who were earlier tapped for the limited event series. Miller will reprise his role as Michael, Purcell is back as Lincoln, and Callies returns as Sara.
The original producing team consisting of Paul T. Scheuring, Neal Moritz, Marty Adelstein and Dawn Olmstead are back to executive produce the revival. Scheuring is additionally set to serve as showrunner and writer.
The new series picks up after Michael's apparent death. Sara has moved on with her life, raising her and Michael's child with her new husband, portrayed by "Royal Pains" star Mark Feuerstein. When clues surface suggesting that Michael may be alive, Sara teams with Lincoln to engineer the series' biggest escape ever, as three of Fox River State Penitentiary's most notorious escapees, T-Bag, C-Note and Sucre, are pulled back into the action. The revival is scheduled to premiere during the 2016-17 broadcast season.
