Prison Break is still missed in today's realm of TV – as one of the most iconic shows of recent years, it was a hammerblow when it ended. Luckily, its stars Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell are such a legendary duo that they'll be ruiniting for a new project.
It's one thing that Prison Break will get a sixth season – which has actually finally been confirmed, even if it's going to be different to what many fans hoped for – but having our favorite brothers reunited is a different caliber.
As reported by Variety, Prison Break actors Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell are getting back together in the upcoming action-thriller show "Snatchback".
Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell Reunite For New TV Show Called Snatchback
Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell? Name a more iconic duo! It's always a pleasure seeing the two of them on screen together, so the news about the pair starring in a brand-new show got the fans excited like nothing else.
The show in question is called Snatchback and will be developed at Universal Television, helmed by Scott Rosenbaum (Sandokan, Viva La Madness, The Shield) as writer and executive producer. The exec producer team also includes Purcell himself, as well as Tish Cyrus-Purcell (yes, the mother of Miley Cyrus and wife of Dominic Purcell) and Dannah Axelrod Summers of HopeTown Entertainment.
The show itself is "inspired by the life of a real covert intelligence officer who is still active in the field today", as the official description reads. "The series 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."
That sounds like a highly stressful environment to be in – and, as the past has shown, Miller and Purcell are the right choice to thrive in such situations and show their prowess as actors.
When the show is going to release is anyone's guess at this point, though. It is still in development after all, so chances are it's going to take some time until there's an official release date or a first look to share. You can be sure to hear about it from us when the time comes, though!
