It’s been almost a decade since the world saw the famous Prison Break brothers Lincoln Burrows, played by Dominic Purcell and Michael Scofield, portrayed by Wentworth Miller, on small screens, seeing as the Fox drama wrapped in 2017. However, Variety has confirmed that the duo is set to return together to TV as stars in an upcoming series, Snatchback, which is in development at Universal Television. The new project will also see Scott Rosenberg as writer and executive producer, while Purcell executive produces through HopeTown Entertainment.

According to the official logline for Snatchback, the series, inspired by the life of a real covert intelligence officer who is still active in the field to date, “follows a highly skilled privately contracted team of operatives as they recover hostages across the globe from some of the most exotic, and equally dangerous locations on the planet.” Such a description is sure to keep fans in suspense as they eagerly count down to its premiere date, which is yet to be revealed.
Not only is this project a surprising delight to diehard fans of the Prison Break brothers, but it is also a pure thrill for HopeTown Entertainment. Tish Cyrus-Purcell, founder of HopeTown and wife of Purcell, expressed this sentiment while also showering the featured talents with praise, saying, “We are absolutely thrilled to be a part of this team with such talented individuals. Rosenbaum has crafted an emotionally charged and high stakes world where Dominic Purcell and Wentworth Miller reunite, bringing to the screen the extraordinary heroes of a real-life private hostage recovery team.”
