Emily Browning, Lukas Gage, and Drake Rodger signal on to star within the pilot for Hulu’s upcoming Jail Break reboot.
Hulu’s upcoming Jail Break reboot has landed its first collection regulars. Emily Browning (American Gods), Lukas Gage (Street Home), and Drake Rodger (Landman) will all have main roles within the Jail Break reboot pilot.
Browning will star as Cassidy Collins, “an ex-soldier turned corrections officer takes a job at one of the deadliest prisons in America.” Gage will play Jackson “a politician from a well-to-do background in his first congressional campaign.” Rodger will play Tommy, “an inmate at one of the deadliest prisons in America, incarcerated ten years ago.” Though this challenge will inform a brand new story with new characters, it will be set in the identical universe as the unique Jail Break collection.
The Jail Break reboot is written by Mayans M.C. co-creator Elgin James. He can even govt produce by way of his Sierra Drive banner alongside authentic collection govt producers Daybreak Olmstead, Neal Moritz, and Marty Adelstein. Jail Break creator Paul Scheuring can be onboard as an govt producer.
If you happen to’re hoping to see any authentic Jail Break characters present up within the reboot, it was beforehand reported that the collection “is not expected to involve the characters at the center of the original series.” Wentworth Miller (who performed Michael Scofield) has mentioned he’s completed with the collection as he now not needs to play heterosexual characters. Ought to the reboot transfer past the pilot stage, you’ve received to assume they’ll get no less than one of many authentic solid members to make an look. I might assume T-Bag continues to be in jail.
Jail Break debuted in 2005 and adopted Michael Scofield (Miller) as he tried to get his brother Lincoln Burrows (Dominic Purcell) off loss of life row and escape from Fox River State Penitentiary. With its twists and turns, the collection was one of many largest hits of the yr. The collection got here to a detailed after 4 seasons and was adopted by a TV film, The Last Break. Nevertheless, a lot of the primary solid returned for a nine-episode Jail Break revival in 2017. Though one other season was within the early phases of improvement, it finally didn’t transfer ahead.
