Rick Yune (Olympus Has
Fallen), Augustus Prew (Klondike), and Steve Mouzakis (Where the Wild Things
Are) have joined the cast of Fox's upcoming Prison Break event series in "heavily
recurring roles."
Yune, Prew, and Mouzakis
join newcomer to the franchise Mark Feuerstein, and series mainstays Wentworth
Miller and Dominic Purcell. Other original cast members including Sarah Wayne
Callies, Robert Knepper, Rockmond Dunbar and Amaury Nolasco are in
negotiations to reprise their roles as Sara,
T-Bag, C-Note and Fernando, respectively.
Official
details on what the 9-episode follow-up to the 2005 hit series will entail are nonexistent,
but according to Deadline's sources, Fernando (Nolasco), C-Note (Dunbar), Lincoln (Purcell),
and Sara (Callies) will travel to Yemen to
rescue a still alive Michael (Miller) from prison.
In
the show, Yune will play a scruffy-looking Korean identity thief named Ja who
is a genius. Prew will play a funny, lethal, and sharp character named Whip.
Mouzakis will play a "bad-ass nut-job" called Van Gogh.
The original producing team, including series creator
Paul T. Scheuring (“Zero Hour”), Neal Moritz (“The Fast and the Furious”
franchise), Marty Adelstein (“Aquarius,” “Last Man Standing”) and Dawn Olmstead
(“The Whispers,” “Girlfriends’ Guide to Divorce”) will return to
executive-produce the new series, with Scheuring serving as showrunner/writer.
The original action drama Prison Break centered on a
young man (Miller) determined to prove his convicted brother’s (Purcell)
innocence and save him from death row by hatching an elaborate plan to escape
from prison. A breakout success in its premiere season, garnering Golden Globe
Award nominations for Best Television Series – Drama and Best Performance by an
Actor in a Television Series – Drama (Miller), as well as winning the People’s
Choice Award for Favorite New TV Drama, Prison Break thrilled audiences for
four heart-pounding seasons, ending its run in May 2009.
