PRISON BREAK 10 YEARS AFTER - WHERE ARE THEY NOW? SCOFIELD, LINCOLN AND MORE

 As Prison Break turns 10 we look at what the stars of the hit show are up to

It's hard to believe Prison Break is celebrating its 10th anniversary.

The show debuted on FOX on August 29, 2005 to an estimated audience of 10.5 million viewers.

After rave reviews it went on to complete four seasons when the show ended in 2009.

Fans will be pleased to know it's coming back in 2016 but until then we have the memories.
Starring Wentworth Miller it was a gritty serial drama of a man on the edge.
If you still can't remember the series, the synopsis reads: “Michael Scofield is a desperate man in a desperate situation. His brother, Lincoln Burrows, was convicted of a crime he didn't commit and put on Death Row. Michael holds up a bank to get himself incarcerated alongside his brother in Fox River State Penitentiary, then sets in motion a series of elaborate plans to break Lincoln out and prove his innocence. Once out of jail, their perils aren't over - the brothers must flee to escape recapture and battle an intricate political conspiracy that puts everyone's life at risk."
