as they recover hostages across the globe from some of the most exotic and equally dangerous locations on the planet.”
Inspired by “the life of a real covert intelligence officer who is still active in the field today,” the series also has Purcell serving as an executive producer, along with his wife, Tish Cyrus, and Dannah Axelrod Summers of HopeTown Entertainment.
Prison Break, which originally aired for four seasons on Fox from 2005 to 2009, found Purcell and Miller playing brothers Lincoln Burrows and Michael Scofield respectively. After receiving a TV film titled The Final Break, the show was revived for a fifth season in 2017.
While there were rumors the series would be returning for a sixth season, former Fox Entertainment CEO Charlie Collier announced in August 2019 that there were no plans to revive it.
“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.
Since then, Purcell and Miller have shared the screen through appearances on The Flash and Legends of Tomorrow.
Purcell’s collaboration with his wife comes nearly a year after they tied the knot in August 2023.
“We are so happy,” Cyrus told PEOPLE 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.”
