Prison Break has gone back to its original recipe, by reuniting the Burrows brothers and sticking them back behind bars.  That means - spoileTwenty minutes into the first episode of the much-anticipated Prison Break: Resurrection, familiar face Lincoln Burrows (Dominic Purcell) is taken hostage by high-tech terrorists. They assume command of his car by remote control, driving it off the road and into a nearby lake.  Linc is thrown clear – straight through the windshield – and emerges from the whole experience totally unscathed. It's an utterly ludicrous sequence. It's also as sure a sign as any that, oh yes, Prison Break is back. Michael played by Wentworth Miller, is alive and has been since the last season ended despite what fans were shown.  The tattooed brooding hunk has been resurrected for the return of the FOX series, which will be back on our screens in April.  "I died seven years ago, left behind a wife, a son and a brother. But the dead talk, if you listen," says Michael in the exciting new trailer.
You could be forgiven for tuning into FOX recently and wondering what year it was. A quick glance at its schedule would suggest the network is living in the past – or at least with revivals of The X-Files, 24, and now Prison Break, trying to relive some of its past glories. Early in 2016, FOX launched a six-episode revival of the spooky FBI show, netting a ratings win that helped fill in the crater left by the miniseries’ overall critical response. It has now been over a year since Mulder and Scully returned seeking the truth that’s still out there, and while rumblings of another trip to the FBI’s storeroom of misbegotten files is reportedly in the talking stages, the network has also endeavored to bring other hits in its back catalog back to life in one form or another.  2017 has already seen the return of the 24 franchise in the form of 24: Legacy, which thunder-punched its way onto screens with Corey Hawkins stepping in for Kiefer Sutherland who’s gone off to be the leader of the free world at ABC. Like The X-Files, Legacy has been met with its fair share of criticism. While the show’s unique storytelling mechanics and real-time action-adventure are still ticking away like a Swiss watch, the show’s actual narrative has been derided for its depiction of Muslims and immigrants. In addition to lower-than-expected ratings, Legacy hasn’t quite proven itself capable of carrying the Jack Bauer torch.  That presents a unique challenge for the Prison Break revival. Though popular in its own right, the series never really had the same pop cultural cache that came with the names Mulder, Scully, or Bauer. Like Showtime’s Homeland, the series was best suited to being a one-and-done, edge-of-your-seat miniseries since, after an anxious first season that lived up to its title, the show painted itself into ever-more absurd corners, creating a complicated (not necessarily complex) mythology intended to keep the show running in perpetuity. The show fought a losing battle in trying to reclaim its season 1 glory for another three seasons, and it leaned increasingly on the strong supporting cast set around Wentworth Miller’s Michael Scofield and Dominic Purcell’s Lincoln Burrows. Robert Knepper’s unctuous T-Bag, the always-terrific Rockmond Dunbar as C-Note, and Sarah Wayne Callies turn as Sara Tancredi made for an attractive enough group of characters to carry a few extra seasons depicting a conflict against the nebulous organization known simply as The Company.
