The series will be part of A+E Networks’ MIPCOM upfront presentation. Executive producers include McCreary, James Younger, Kelly Mendelsohn, Mary E. Donahue, and Max Micallef.
Eli Lehrer, executive vice president and general manager for the History channel, said, “The History channel is honored to partner with Morgan and his production team, Revelations Entertainment, to deliver context and backstory to some of history’s infamous prison escapes. Morgan’s gravitas will help ground this series and drive the drama in a way no other face or voice can.”
