Prison Break duo Wentworth Miller and Aussie Dominic Purcell are teaming up once again for a new hostage drama, Snatchback.
The official logline for Snatchback reads, “Inspired by the life of a real covert intelligence officer who is still active in the field today, the series follows a highly skilled privately contracted team of operatives as they recover hostages across the globe from some of the most exotic, and equally dangerous locations on the planet.”
The series by Scott Rosenbaum (The Shield, Chuck V, Queen of the South) is in development at Universal Television.
Purcell and Miller starred as brothers Lincoln Burrows and Michael Scofield for four seasons of Prison Break from 2006 to 2009 before a Season 5 revival in 2017. Both also appeared in The Flash and Legends of Tomorrow.
“We are absolutely thrilled to be a part of this team with such talented individuals,” said Tish Cyrus-Purcell, who is Purcell’s wife. “Rosenbaum has crafted an emotionally charged and high stakes world where Dominic Purcell and Wentworth Miller reunite, bringing to the screen the extraordinary heroes of a real-life private hostage recovery team.”
