Lukas Gage leads the cast of the upcoming \u201cPrison Break\u201d reboot and he confirmed last night, while attending the \u201cVoicemails for Isabelle\u201d premiere in LA, that filming is currently midway through.<\/p>\n

Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell lead the cast of the original smash hit series which ran from 2005-2009, with its first season specifically seen as a major critical and commercial success.<\/p>\n

The new series will be set in the same world as the previous version but will follow a new cast of characters. Alongside Gage, actors Emily Browning, Drake Rodger, Clayton Cardenas, JR Bourne, Georgie Flores and Myles Bullock also star.<\/p>\n

Gage tells THR<\/a> that one big difference between the new version is that by launching on streaming, not broadcast TV, they can go darker:<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re paying respect to the amazing TV show that I grew up loving but it\u2019s also on Hulu now, it\u2019s not on Fox, so we can get really gritty and get really dark. It\u2019s gonna be crazy, it\u2019s gonna be a wild ride.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gage teased \u201cwe might see a couple of OGs coming back\u201d and a \u201clot of amazing character actors\u201d are in the new series, adding: \u201cI\u2019m working with Margo Martindale right now and that\u2019s like a character actor dream world, that show.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"FOX.
