Fox bosses Dana Walden and Gary Newman have confirmed that Prison Break is returning, rebooted and refreshed, next year with executive producer Paul Scheuring at the helm.
Miller and Purcell will be reprising their roles as expert prison breaker Michael Scofield and his brother Lincoln Burrows.
The new 10-episode series has been described as 'a bit of a sequel' that will pick up with Miller and Purcell's characters several years after the events of Prison Break: The Final Break.
But there's a snag. Fans will know that Michael was killed off in The Final Break. However Fox are finding away around that – by ignoring it entirely.
Walden said at TCA (via Moviefone): "What [Scheuring] pitched to us was a very logical and believable – in the world of Prison Break – explanation for why out characters are alive and still moving around the world."
Newman added: "He had a very detailed incredible story for why these characters become relevant again and why they're back."
Walden also revealed that "some of the iconic characters" will be back too.
