After months of speculation Fox’s Gary Newman has confirmed that Prison Break will indeed be returning for a limited series. He also confirmed that Dominic Purcell and Wentworth Miller are signed up to reprise their roles as brothers Lincoln Burrows and Michael Schofield.
Series creator and executive producer Paul Scheuring is already writing the first episode. The 10-episode series is expected to be given a straight-to-series order.
