A new chapter of Prison Break has taken a major step towards becoming a reality at Hulu with a pilot pickup for the project from Elgin James.

The original “Prison Break” follows Lincoln Burrows, who has been sentenced to death for a crime he did not commit, and his brother Michael Scofield, who hatches a plan to help Lincoln escape from prison. The show was a ratings juggernaut and picked up a Golden Globe for best television series drama for its inaugural season.

Who hasn't watched "Prison Break"? Today, the series gets a second life thanks to Netflix. Meanwhile, Hulu has ordered a pilot for a new version of the popular series, which will focus on new characters in the same universe.
