===Development===
On January 12, 2015, at the [[Television Critics Association|2015 Winter TCA Press Tour]], [[Wentworth Miller]] and [[Dominic Purcell]] revealed that possibility that Fox was interested in bringing back ''[[Prison Break]]'', with Miller stating: "We actually floated the idea to Fox very casually and they seemed very not casual about this interest. They seemed to think there was something there." Purcell concluded by adding, "It's something that Fox is, as Wentworth said, potentially excited about."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.eonline.com/news/613405/fox-definitely-interested-in-prison-break-s-return-wentworth-miller-reveals|title=Fox "Definitely" Interested in Prison Break's Return, Wentworth Miller Reveals|last=Bricker|first=Tierney|publisher=[[E!]]|date=January 12, 2015|accessdate=January 12, 2015}}</ref>

On January 17, 2015, [[20th Century Fox Television|Fox Television Group]] chairmen and CEO Gary Newman made it clear that they would love to bring ''Prison Break'' back for another run, although Fox had nothing to report. Newman himself stated, "There's some speculation in the press at ''Prison Break'' and we've made it clear at the studio that we'd bring ''Prison Break'' back at the studio [...] It's the perfect event series. But at the moment, we have nothing else to report."<ref name="thr mar17"/>

On June 2, 2015, it was reported that a [[miniseries|limited series]] revival of [[Paul Scheuring]]'s ''[[Prison Break]]'' was in development at [[Fox Broadcasting Company|Fox]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://tvline.com/2015/06/02/prison-break-revival-limited-series-fox-wentworth-miller/|title=Prison Break Limited Series In Development at Fox|last=Ausiello|first=Michael|publisher=[[TVLine]]|date=June 2, 2015|accessdate=June 2, 2015}}</ref>

On August 6, 2015, Fox confirmed a 10-episode order for the revival. The limited series is a sequel to the [[Prison Break|original series]], taking place several years later, and features Miller and Purcell reprising their roles as well as the return of other original characters. [[20th Century Fox Television|Fox Television Group]] chairmen and CEO [[Dana Walden]] herself stated that ''Prison Break'' has performed particularly well internationally and on [[Video on demand|SVOD]] platforms such as [[Netflix]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/fox-chiefs-prison-break-revival-813563|title=Fox Chiefs on 'Prison Break' Revival, 'Empire' Impact and Planned Turnaround|last=Rose|first=Lacey|work=[[The Hollywood Reporter]]|date=August 6, 2015|accessdate=August 6, 2015}}</ref> Walden added that: "a logical and believable explanation to why the characters are alive and still moving around the world [...]" Walden said. "The brothers and some of the iconic characters will be back, and it will address some questions that were set up at the end of the series for a new audience."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://deadline.com/2015/08/prison-break-limited-series-go-sequel-fox-1201493521/|title=‘Prison Break’ Sequel Limited Series A Go At Fox|last=Andreeva|first=Nellie|publisher=[[Deadline.com]]|date=August 6, 2015|accessdate=August 6, 2015}}</ref>
