They join Wentworth Miller (Michael), Dominic Purcell (Lincoln), Sarah Wayne Callies (Sara) and Amaury Nolasco (Fernando Sucre) in booking their returns to the franchise.

In the new series, which picks up after Michael’s apparent death, Sara has moved on with her life, raising her and Michael’s child with her new husband (previously announced guest-star Mark Feuerstein). When clues surface suggesting that Michael may be alive, Sara teams with Lincoln to engineer the series’ biggest escape ever, as three of Fox River State Penitentiary’s most notorious escapees — T-Bag, C-Note and Sucre — are pulled back into the action.

Original showrunner Paul T. Scheuring will pen the script and executive produce the Prison Break revival alongside Neal Moritz, Marty Adelstein and Dawn Olmstead. Prison Break will premiere during the 2016-17 broadcast season; a specific date has yet to be determined.

Knepper is repped by Innovative and LINK Entertainment; Dunbar is with Don Buchwald & Associates and Levity Entertainment Group.
