It's time for a new generation to enjoy what should be a one-season premise that is stretched beyond the realm of probability yet is completely entertaining from start to finish. Prison Break became a signature hit for Fox when it premiered in 2005, and now a new chapter is one step closer to becoming a reality thanks to Hulu.

Per Deadline, a new version of Prison Break has been handed a pilot order at Hulu courtesy of Elgin James, the man behind Mayans M.C. and The Outlaws. Plot details are being kept locked up as tight as the would-be prisoners, but the new take will reportedly be set in the same universe with a new story and cast. That means that fans of Wentworth Miller's Michael Scofield and Dominic Purcell's Lincoln Burrows will have to get attached to a new group of people trying to escape their prison walls.

It was previously announced that 20th Television was interested in setting up a new Prison Break when the company was looking into some of its legacy titles to resurrect a year ago. It should be noted that this is a pilot order and not a series pickup, so Hulu will have to see what the finished pilot looks like before officially committing to bringing this new iteration of the show. James will be producing through his Sierra Drive banner and will be joined by four executive producers from the original series, which include Dawn Olmstead, Paul Scheuring, Marty Adelstein, and Neal Mortiz. Olmstead, in particular, has been working closely with James to develop the project.
