AMC is developing The Prisoner miniseries, a reinterpretation of the British 60’s cult series. The Prisoner stars Sir Ian McKellen and Jim Caviezel.
The Premise (from AMC): A man, known as “Six,” finds himself inexplicably trapped in “The Village” with no memory of how he arrived. As he explores his environment, he discovers that his fellow inhabitants are identified by number instead of name, have no memory of any prior existence, and are under constant surveillance. Not knowing whom to trust, Six is driven by the need to discover the truth behind The Village, the reason for his being there, and most importantly — how he can escape.
