The series premiere had eight major speaking roles with star billing. However, they are hindered by covert agents, who belong to an organization known as 'The Company'. The protagonists are aided by Veronica Donovan (Robin Tunney), who begins to investigate the conspiracy that put Lincoln in jail. Miller was chosen six days before the start of production and Purcell was cast three days later.

The actors who were cast as the protagonists Michael Scofield and Lincoln Burrows were the last to join the main cast. After installing himself at Fox River, time works against Michael as he must overcome various obstacles and make the right connections among the inmates and prison staff to be successful in breaking out his brother. Lincoln's brother, Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller), is convinced of Lincoln's innocence and hatches an escape plan. With strong evidence supporting the charges of first degree murder and aggravated discharge of a firearm against him, Lincoln is sentenced to death and is sent to the Fox River State Penitentiary to await his execution. Lincoln Burrows (Dominic Purcell) is accused of the murder of Terrence Steadman, who is the brother of the female Vice President of the United States. Premiered on Augin the United States and Canada, the first season featured a total of 22 episodes. Following the huge popularity of serialized prime time television series such as Lost and 24, the Fox Network had a change of heart and backed the production in 2004. The show was later considered as a possible 14-part miniseries, which drew the interest of Steven Spielberg before his departure due to his involvement with War of the Worlds. Scheuring and his fellow producers later remarked that many had thought that the story would be more suited for a film project than a television series. He subsequently showed the concept to other channels with no luck. In 2003, he pitched the idea to the Fox Broadcasting Company, but was turned down as Fox felt somewhat nervous about the long-term possibilities of such a series. He then began working on the plot outline and devising the characters. He later came up with the story of the wrongfully accused brother and the conspiracy subplot. Although Scheuring thought it was a good idea, he was initially stumped as to why someone would embark on such a mission or how he could develop it into a viable television show. The origins of Prison Break began as a concept (a man deliberately getting himself sent to prison in order to help someone else escape) that was suggested to Paul Scheuring by producer Dawn Parouse, who had wanted to produce an action oriented series.
