'Prison Break' Revival Updates: Sara Is Back, With (Bad?) Company
Now it's a party! Sarah Wayne Callies is officially reprising her role as Dr. Sara Tancredi in Fox's nine-episode "Prison Break" revival, which is set to start filming in April in Vancouver.
You may recall that her character got her head chopped off in Season 3, which seems like a definitive way to die, but not on TV! She returned the next season, and now she'll be back on the hunt for Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller), who was also presumed dead the last time we saw him, but "dead" is just a temporary Facebook status on this show.
Sara isn't coming back alone, though. According to TVLine, the revival picks up after Michael's (apparent) death, showing Sarah has moved on with her life, raising her and Michael's child with her new husband, who will be played by "Royal Pains" alum Mark Feuerstein. (Prepare to be pushed out of the way, man, one way or another.)
When clues appear that Michael might really be alive, Sara teams up with his bro Lincoln Burrows (Dominic Purcell) to work out the biggest escape ever.
As Fox co-chairman/CEO Dana Walden explained, "The story unravels on an international landscape — it's not a domestic [plot]. We open on a very international contemporary-feeling story." She also told TVLine this revival will "address" the end of the 2009 TV movie "The Final Break." And if you're wondering "What about T-Bag?" Robert Knepper is reportedly in talks to return.
There's no set premiere date yet, but at least the wheels are in motion, with most of the original cast ready for one last break.
