Prison Break Reboot Secures Hulu Pilot; Mariah Carey to Headline Netflix’s NFL Kickoff

Prison Break fans, get ready! The hit series is making a comeback with a Hulu pilot order for a reboot by Mayans M.C. co-creator Elgin James. This new version is set to be a fresh take within the same universe, so we can expect some exciting twists. Don’t hold your breath for the original stars, though, as Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell are not expected to reprise their roles as the iconic brothers. The timing couldn’t be better, with the original series enjoying a surge in popularity on streaming platforms like Netflix.

In other news, Mariah Carey is set to kick off Netflix’s NFL Christmas Day doubleheader with a special performance of “All I Want for Christmas Is You.” You can catch her before each of the two games on Christmas Day, making it a star-studded event. Joining her will be other talented performers like Beyoncé and a lineup of comedians, including Nate Bargatze and Bert Kreischer.

Plus, get ready for some new TV shows on the horizon. W. Earl Brown is joining CBS’ Fire Country spinoff Sheriff Country, Rebecca Hall is starring in Ryan Murphy’s FX series The Beauty, and Julian Fellowes is working on adapting the Detective Brunetti book series for TV. Fellowes is well known for his period dramas, so this new venture into contemporary material is definitely intriguing.

If you’re a YouTube TV user, be prepared for a slight increase in your monthly bill. The service is raising its price by $10, citing the rising cost of content. It’s a reminder that streaming services are constantly evolving, so be sure to keep an eye on your subscription costs.

And in more TV news, Fox has renewed Farmer Wants a Wife for Season 3, with Kimberly Williams-Paisley taking over hosting duties. This heartwarming show helps farmers and women find love, and Williams-Paisley is excited to be a part of it. Additionally, Investigation Discovery’s The Curious Case of Natalia Grace is returning for its final season, along with a new spinoff series that promises more shocking cases and twists.
