Dominic Purcell and Wentworth Miller, who starred in “Prison Break,” are reuniting for a new series called “Snatchback.” The show marks their return to acting together after 19 years since the premiere of “Prison Break.”
According to an official logline shared by the outlet, the Scott Rosenbaum-written and executive-produced 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.”
“Snatchback,” inspired by the ongoing work of a real covert intelligence officer, features Dominic Purcell as an executive producer alongside his wife Tish Cyrus and Dannah Axelrod Summers of HopeTown Entertainment.
Purcell and Wentworth Miller famously portrayed brothers Lincoln Burrows and Michael Scofield in the original “Prison Break” series, which aired from 2005 to 2009 and was later revived for a fifth season in 2017, following a TV film titled “The Final Break.”
Former Fox Entertainment CEO Charlie Collier announced in August 2019 that there were no plans to revive “Prison Break” for a sixth season, despite earlier rumors suggesting its return.
“There’s no plan right now to revive Prison Break or any of the other franchises, but when the creators come with a story that they think is the right time to tell, we are so ready to listen because those are some franchises of which I’m so proud and feel so fortunate that they’re in our stable,” Collier said at the time.
Dominic Purcell, along with his wife Tish Cyrus, collaborated on “Snatchback” nearly a year after their marriage in August 2023.
“We are so happy,” Cyrus told while discussing their marriage in February. “He just encourages me to fly. He is just like, ‘You’re the funniest, you’re the prettiest, you’re the sweetest, you’re the this — just show the world who you are.’ It has just empowered me in such a way that I’ve never felt before. It’s just been really great for me.”
