Per Deadline, Hulu has ordered a pilot for the Jail Break reboot from Mayans M.C. co-creator Elgin James. Plot particulars are being saved beneath wraps, however the report states that whereas the venture is its personal factor, it will be set in the identical universe as the unique sequence.
Should you’re hoping to see any authentic Jail Break characters present up within the reboot, it was beforehand reported that the sequence “is not expected to involve the characters at the center of the original series.” Plus, Wentworth Miller (who performed Michael Scofield) has stated he’s carried out with the sequence as he not needs to play heterosexual characters.
James will government produce by means of his Sierra Drive banner alongside authentic sequence government producers Daybreak Olmstead, Neal Moritz, and Marty Adelstein. Jail Break creator Paul Scheuring can be onboard as an government producer. Earlier this summer time, Adelstein gave an replace on the venture, saying it was “going rather well. The primary script was actually, rather well carried out. They’ve given notes and it seems prefer it’s on its means.“
Based on Nielsen, when the unique Jail Break returned to Netflix this July, it shortly grew to become the #1 most streamed sequence within the US in August. I think about that this boosts Hulu’s confidence within the reboot.
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 sequence was one of many greatest of the yr. The sequence got here to a detailed after 4 seasons and was adopted by a TV film, The Closing Break. Nevertheless, a lot of the primary forged returned for a Jail Break revival in 2017, and though one other season was within the early levels of improvement, it didn’t transfer ahead. Even because the sequence obtained extra convoluted in later seasons, I at all times cherished it. Whereas it might appear sacrilegious to convey Jail Break again with none of our favorite characters, I’m wanting ahead to a brand new tackle the idea.
What do you consider this Jail Break reboot?
