To Win Back Audiences, Fox Is Reviving 'Prison Break'

Network leans on familiar brands and faces—and Empire

As it tries to break through the crowded TV landscape and pull itself out of its fourth-place finish last season among adults ages 18 to 49, Fox is hoping to make some noise by bringing back a few of the network's most popular past shows.

Meeting with reporters at the Television Critics Association's summer press tour, Dana Walden and Gary Newman, chairmen and CEOs of Fox Television Group, announced they are developing a limited series revival of Prison Break, which ran on the network from 2005 to 2009.
