Some of the iconic characters from that show will be back. It definitely will address some questions that were set up at the end of the series and for a new audience… It’ll start after where we left the Scofields in the final season.” Now the big question remains what that means for Michael Scofield (Miller), who died in the direct-to-video follow-up _The Final Break_. Though fellow Fox Chairman and CEO Newman initially said writer Paul Scheuring would ignore the events of _The Final Break_, Walden backtracked. “I don’t think he’s going to completely ignore what happened in that episode, but what he pitched to us was a very logical and believable explanation in the world of _Prison Break_ for why are character’s alive and still moving around the world.” “He had a very detailed incredible story for why these characters become relevant again and why they’re back,” Newman added. The _Prison Break_ event series is only in development stages, but Newman and Walden had every faith it would go straight to series once Scheuring finished mapping out the 10-episode arcs. For their part, Miller and Purcell are currently teamed up once again on _The Flash_ and its spin-off _DC’s Legends of Tomorrow_, which debuts midseason on The CW. _This_ [_article_](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/08/06/fox-prison-break-event-series) _originally appeared on_ [_EW.com_](http://www.ew.com/)_._ ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3987580/fox-prison-break-event-series/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3987580/fox-prison-break-event-series/"},"headline":"Prison Break Sequel Is Officially Coming to Fox","datePublished":"2015-08-06T17:12:21.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T08:05:01.545Z","description":"\"It picks up the characters several years after we left them in the last season of the show\"","url":"https://time.com/3987580/fox-prison-break-event-series/","keywords":["Television"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt01ad35fe5ee4c722/69885e36428a9e7b12cce86b/wentworth-miller.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Natalie Abrams / Entertainment Weekly"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt01ad35fe5ee4c722/69885e36428a9e7b12cce86b/wentworth-miller.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"The CW Network's New York 2015 Upfront Presentation","caption":"The CW Network's New York 2015 Upfront Presentation","creditText":"Monica Schipper—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3987580/fox-prison-break-event-series/","name":"Prison Break Sequel Is Officially Coming to Fox"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"5 Reasons TV's Top Shows Are So Addictive","description":"Here's a look at how our favorite TV shows—from \"Game of Thrones\" to \"Scandal\" and \"Breaking Bad\"—keep us coming back for more.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/2RqNgPrk/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2014-01-16T20:47:22.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/2RqNgPrk.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/3987580/fox-prison-break-event-series/","duration":"PT2M16S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/3987580/fox-prison-break-event-series/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
