In contrast to anticipation that the “Prison Break” reboot on Hulu might feature Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller) and Lincoln Burrows (Dominic Purcell), a new report by Variety indicates that the show will introduce an entirely fresh cast, all of whom have previously starred in critically acclaimed series.
Emily Browning, Lukas Gage, and Drake Rodger are set to star in the leading roles for the initial episode of a series that has been commissioned by the streaming platform. Although you might not instantly recognize their names, you’re probably familiar with their faces as you’ve likely watched and enjoyed at least one project they’ve worked on recently.
The upcoming series, like Prison Break, shares the same universe but offers a fresh narrative. It centers around three main characters, with Browning portraying Cassidy Collins, a former soldier who now works as a corrections officer at one of America’s most dangerous prisons. Gage steps into the role of Jackson, a politically ambitious individual from a wealthy background launching his first congressional campaign. Lastly, Rodger takes on the character of Tommy, an inmate who has been imprisoned for ten years in one of the deadliest prisons in America.

Don’t Worry, The New ‘Prison Break’ Has OG ‘Prison Break’ Credibility
As a devotee, I often ponder when my cherished series is revived or continues after many years. Will it live up to its predecessor? Has too much time lapsed? Are those who crafted the initial masterpiece still part of the team? To alleviate these concerns, let me offer some reassurance. Elgin James, the reboot’s showrunner, may not have been present in the original, but he won’t be going it alone. As reported earlier by Deadline, four executive producers from the original series, including Dawn Olmstead, creator Paul Scheuring, as well as Marty Adelstein and Neal Moritz, are all contributing to this new chapter.
Although we’re still waiting to learn more about the storyline, it’s clear that the shows associated with Gage, Browning, and Rodgers are highly acclaimed dramas cherished by both audiences and critics. For instance, Gage has gained recognition for his work in hit shows like The White Lotus and You, including the notable first-season scene featuring Murray Bartlett in Lotus. Similarly, Browning has made a significant impact on series such as American Gods and The Affair for Starz. Even Rodgers, who may be less known among the trio, is making a name for himself through his work on shows like Landman and the prequel to Supernatural, titled The Winchesters. Therefore, fans of Prison Break can rest assured that these actors are well-equipped to deliver the drama, action, humor, and mystery you enjoyed in the original series.
