Actor Myles Bullock, recognized for his roles in Starz’s BMF and Peacock’s Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist, has been cast as a series regular in the highly anticipated reboot of Prison Break.
New Vision from Hulu and Elgin James
The fresh iteration of this classic series, originally airing on Fox, comes from Hulu alongside Mayans MC showrunner Elgin James. Unlike its predecessors, this reboot aims to explore new narratives while remaining tied to the same universe that captivated audiences years prior.
Casting and Character Insights
While original stars Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell will not reprise their iconic roles, the new series features a talented ensemble cast, including Emily Browning (known for her work in American Gods), Lukas Gage (from Companion), and Drake Rodger (notable for Landman).
The storyline for the reboot remains largely under wraps. However, it’s reported that Browning portrays an ex-soldier who becomes a corrections officer at one of the most perilous prisons in the United States. Gage takes on the role of a politician, while Rodger plays an inmate serving a decade-long sentence. Bullock’s character is described as a powerful shot caller within the prison system, suggesting his role will significantly influence the series narrative.
Reflections on the Original Series
The original Prison Break made its debut in 2005 and followed the gripping tale of Michael Scofield (played by Miller), a structural engineer who orchestrates an armed robbery to land himself in the same prison as his wrongly convicted brother, Lincoln Burrows (Purcell).The series quickly evolved into a complex drama involving intricate escape plans and the lives of various inmates intertwined with Scofield’s mission.
Behind the Scenes
Elgin James serves as the showrunner and executive producer, working alongside Dawn Olmstead, Paul Scheuring (the original show’s creator), Marty Adelstein, and Neal H. Moritz to bring this new vision to life.
