The Prisoner (US Remake) is a US Remake of the 1967 British Spy Drama The Prisoner. It stars Jeffrey Donovan, Gabrielle Anwar, Bruce Campbell, and Sharon Gless, and is written and produced by Matt Nix and the since defunct Patrick McGoohan. The series premiered on June 28, 2007 on the USA Network and is in its sixth season. As with many American remakes of British television shows, The Prisoner (US Remake) seeks to appeal to a wider audience than the original by removing obfuscatory Britishisms and substituting in American cultural references and a higher special effects budget.
