Wentworth Miller, you tease! The star has suggested that there “could be a conversation” about bringing Prison Break back for more episodes, following its much-anticipated return next year.
The British-born actor – who was attending the 2016 Attitude Awards last night – told Digital Spy: “The reboot is nine new episodes airing in spring 2017, and then depending on how it’s received, and who’s available, there could be another conversation about another bite of the apple.
“We’ll see…”
Wentworth is bringing the cult series back after eight years, with original series creator Paul Scheuring writing all nine episodes.
He will be reprising his role as Michael Scofield, while co-star Dominic Purcell will be back as his burly brother Lincoln Burrows.
On what else we can expect from the revival, Wentworth continued: “I can tell you it’s seven years later, and you can expect a lot more of the same things that you loved first time around.
“And it will also be quite different as the characters have changed, so my character in particular is no longer just a hero – he’s a few other things as well. I think the fans will get a kick out of it.”
The Legends of Tomorrow star admitted that he felt a huge amount of responsibility in making a reboot that loyal fans would love, adding: “I felt responsible – we all felt responsible in that if we’re going to do this, do it right.
“We wanted to add to what already exists, which is what a lot of people love and appreciate. We don’t want to add something what’s not in equal value and let anyone down. So we worked really hard.”
Prison Break will return on Fox next year.
