AMC to Set The Prisoner Free in 2008
AMC has announced a spring 2007 production start for its remake of the 1960s series
The Prisoner. The redo, targeted for a January 2008 debut, will feature a premise similar to the original, in which a man known only as Number Six finds himself trapped in "The Village" with others who also have no memory of their previous existence outside of civilization. Per Reuters, AMC is thinking a minimum of six to eight episodes, and will air the original series (which starred
Patrick McGoohan) around the time of the remake's launch.
