Mayans M.C. co-creator and showrunner Elgin James will be in charge of bringing the pilot to life. In addition to creating this series for Hulu, he’s also coming on board as one of the executive producers alongside the Prison Break creator Paul Scheuring, plus Dawn Olmstead, Marty Adelstein, and Neal Moritz.

James’ new take on Prison Break won’t be a remake or a sequel of the original series, but a brand-new show set in the same universe. The characters from the original jailhouse drama aren’t expected to return, as the reboot shifts focus to a new crew of inmates.
