Polygon reports that Hulu has confirmed production on Prison Break: Black Creek, a new spin-off series set in the universe of the classic Fox thriller.
Polygon reports that Hulu is bringing back one of Fox's most recognizable properties with a brand new series titled Prison Break: Black Creek. Currently in production under Disney ownership, the show shifts focus to a fresh storyline while remaining set within the universe of the original 2005 thriller. The narrative follows a soldier turned corrections officer who takes a high-stakes job at a notoriously dangerous prison to save someone she loves.
Elgin James, known for his work on Mayans M.C. and The Outlaws, is stepping in as the showrunner and director for the project. The cast features notable names including Drake Rodger, Clayton Cardenas, JR Bourne, Georgie Flores, Myles Bullock, and Noah Emmerich. Production is being handled by Disney owned 20th Television, with original executive producer Dawn Olmstead returning to oversee the new chapter.
For communities who spent years following the elaborate escape plans of the original series, this spin-off offers a chance to see how the gritty formula translates to modern television standards. While later seasons of the original run tested viewer patience by straying too far from the core premise, a fresh cast and tighter setting could easily recapture what made the early episodes appointment viewing. Expect the series to debut soon on Hulu and Disney Plus.
