The stars of Prison Break are reuniting for a new series. Dominic Purcell and Wentworth Miller will star in Snatchback, a new drama series about a hostage recovery team.
Purcell and Miller famously starred together on Fox’s Prison Break. After Lincoln Burrows (Purcell) is sentenced to death for a crime he did not commit, his brother, Michael Scofield (Miller), devises a plan to free him from incarceration. The series ran for four seasons from 2006-2009, with a TV movie in 2009 and a revival series in 2017.
Additionally, Purcell and Miller appeared in The Flash and Legends of Tomorrow. Purcell played Mick Rory/Heat Wave, while Miller played Leonard Snart/Captain Cold.
Purcell will next headline Cassino in Ischia, an action film from director Frank Ciota. Meanwhile, Miller’s recent credits include minor roles in Madam Secretary and Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.
What to Expect in Snatchback?
Snatchback hails from Universal Television, with Scott Rosenbaum attached as a writer and executive producer. Rosenbaum’s credits include The Shield, Chuck, and V.
Snatchback’s logline reads: “Inspired by the life of a real covert intelligence officer who is still active in the field today, 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.”
Purcell will executive produce alongside his wife, Tish Cyrus-Purcell, and Dannah Axelrod Summers of HopeTown Entertainment.
“We are absolutely thrilled to be a part of this team with such talented individuals,” Cyrus-Purcell said in a statement. “Rosenbaum has crafted an emotionally charged and high stakes world where Dominic Purcell and Wentworth Miller reunite, bringing to the screen the extraordinary heroes of a real-life private hostage recovery team.”
