As previously reported, the pilot is set in the same world as the original “Prison Break” but will tell a new story with new characters.
Exact plot details are being kept locked up. Browning stars as Cassidy Collins, described as “an ex-soldier turned corrections officer takes a job at one of the deadliest prisons in America.” Gage will play Jackson in the pilot, said to be “a politician from a well-to-do background in his first congressional campaign.” And Rodger will play Tommy, “an inmate at one of the deadliest prisons in America, incarcerated ten years ago.” Browning has recently starred in shows like “Class of ’07” at FX, “The Affair” at Showtime, and “American Gods” at Starz.
The film “One More Shot,” in which she stars, recently premiered at SXSW. Her other film roles include “Legend,” “Sleeping Beauty,” “Sucker Punch,” and “Shangri-La Suite.” She is repped by UTA, CP Artist Management, Signpost and Jackoway Austen Tyerman.
