“Inspired by the life of a real covert intelligence officer who is still active in the field today,” Snatchback “follows a highly skilled privately contracted team of operatives as they recover hostages across the globe from some of the most exotic, and equally dangerous locations on the planet,” per the official synopsis. Scott Rosenberg (The Shield, Chuck) will serve as writer and executive producer. No network is attached yet.
Miller and Purcell played brothers Michael Scofield and Lincoln Burrows on Fox’s Prison Break, which ran from 2005 to 2009. It returned for a revival season, dubbed Prison Break: Resurrection, in 2017. The two actors were both a part of The CW’s Arrowverse as well, with Miller playing The Flash villain Captain Cold and Purcell playing Mick Rory on Legends of Tomorrow.
