Part of the reason why Prison Break was such a hit upon its initial airing was largely down to its ensemble - step forward Abruzzi, Bellick and Haywire. Well, the good news is that three original characters are down to return for the new event series.
Actors Robert Knepper (Theodore "T-Bag" Bagwell), Rockmond Dunbar (Benjamin Miles "C-Note" Franklin) and Amaury Nolasco (Fernando Sucre) will join the previously announced main trio Wentworth Miller (Michael Scofield), Dominic Purcell (Lincoln Scofield) and Sarah Wayne Callies (former prison medic Sara Tancredi).
Prison Break began in 2005 tracking the story of Michael Scofield, a man who got himself imprisoned with the intention of breaking out his brother Lincoln; it ran for four seasons before the axe fell. It's supposed swansong arrived in the form of a wrap-up TV movie titled The Final Break in 2009.
The story of Fox's event series - nine episodes of which are set to be filmed in Vancouver next month - will see the definitely-not-dead Scofield pulled into the series' biggest escape yet alongside his brother and love interest, Tancredi.
It's unsure which other surviving characters, if any, will be returning (fingers crossed for William Fichtner's FBI agent Alexander Mahone) although a deal is reportedly being lined up which would see actor Paul Adelstein reprise his role of Agent Paul Kellerman.
There is currently no news on a release date.
