It’s official, this iconic series from the 2000s is coming back, even though we didn’t ask for it

In November 2023, we learned that Hulu wanted to revive Prison Break, a prison series that enjoyed some success in the early 2000s, although we didn’t really see the point of such a project, today we learned that the platform has played it safe by ordering only one episode and Not the whole season…

If we believe this article termThis reboot will not tell the story of Michael Scofield, a young man who embarks on a nearly impossible mission – to save his brother Lincoln from a death sentence – but will take place in the same universe following a new group of prisoners.

Hulu has not yet specified whether the action will take place at Fox River Prison.

Enter Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell, two former stars of the show. It’s no surprise when we know that the former explained in 2020 that he no longer wanted to slip into Scofield’s tattooed skin. Now it remains to be seen who will be the new headliner for this reboot.

Is it a bad strategic choice?

If the first season of Prison Break was an absolute hit and the series is still very popular on streaming, we can’t say the same for the next one. It’s really one of those concept series that can only last a few episodes.

The writers took this idea too far, most absurdly when Michael ended up in a prison in Yemen and had to be saved by his brother (Season 5).

That’s why we’re waiting for this reboot, which will be helmed by Elgin James, showrunner of the Sons of Anarchy spin-off, Mayans MC If only the pilot is ordered at this point, Hulu only wants to make one miniseries. .

And you, what do you think?
