A pair of Mayans M.C. cast members are set to ride again in Hulu’s upcoming Prison Break reboot.
According to Deadline, Clayton Cardenas and JR Bourne are the latest additions to the cast of Prison Break. Cardenas’ new character, Ghost, is described as “a ruthlessly dangerous inmate,” while Bourne is set to play Junior, “a mentally unstable lone survivor of a decades-old prison break that devastated the town.”
In Mayans M.C., Cardenas played one of the main characters, Angel Reyes, while Bourne portrayed the villainous Isaac, the self-proclaimed King of Meth Mountain. Cardenas has also previously appeared in Netflix’s The Abandons. Bourne has a number of genre credits to his name including Teen Wolf, Fringe, Stargate: SG-1, 24, and The Secret Circle.
Georgie Flores and Myles Bullock have also joined the new Prison Break. Flores will play Andrea, a cadet who is training to be a corrections officer at the show’s featured prison, while Bullock will step into the role of Darius “Red” Lewis, one of the inmates.
The original Prison Break ran for four seasons on Fox from 2005 to 2009. A revival fifth season of Prison Break was ordered in 2016, with most of the original cast reprising their roles for the show. That season ultimately ran in 2017 and it seemingly brought the franchise to a close.
Mayans M.C. co-creator Elgin James is executive producing and writing the new Prison Break, which will maintain continuity with the first series. Despite that, none of the original Prison Break cast members are expected to return and the story will largely standalone from the show that came before it. Hulu has ordered a pilot episode, but the series doesn’t have a greenlight for a full season yet.
All five seasons of the original Prison Break are streaming on Hulu and Netflix.
Some of the best shots in Grok Imagine’s AI-made Odyssey don’t contain actors. Ancient landscapes stretch into the distance. Close-ups of grimy hands suggest people who have touched something rougher than a keyboard. For a few seconds, the illusion holds.

YouTube videos could soon look better without eating quite so much data, right? Thankfully, the platform plans to introduce a new video format called AV2 on its web player in early 2027, promising more efficient streaming and potentially fewer playback hiccups on slower internet connections. The big headline is a roughly 30% improvement in compression efficiency over AV1, YouTube's existing video format. That doesn't guarantee every video will use 30% less data, but it could make streaming a little easier on both internet connections and data allowances.
What is AV2, and why should viewers care?
YouTube is changing how its Home page works, giving viewers more control over what shows up there and making some of the app’s most-used sections easier to reach. Custom Feeds are now replacing the existing topic chips for eligible users, while YouTube is also testing a redesigned top bar on mobile that moves Subscriptions closer to the Home feed.
YouTube first started experimenting with Custom Feeds earlier this year, letting you type out what you wanted to watch and turning that request into its own stream of recommendations. Now, the feature is starting to look less like a side experiment and more like something YouTube actually wants people to use as part of their everyday Home page.
