NBC UNIVERSO, the modern entertainment and sports cable channel for Latinos, today announced it is offering its viewers PRISON BREAK – the gritty series that has captivated mainstream audiences during its past four seasons. Created by Paul Scheuring, PRISON BREAK will air in Spanish for the first time in the U.S. beginning Tue., Oct. 20, at 10 p.m. ET/PT on NBC UNIVERSO.

PRISON BREAK combines drama, action and romance, and stretches the limits of family loyalty and brotherhood. It revolves around two siblings: Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller) and Lincoln Burrows (Dominic Purcell). One brother has been sentenced to death for a crime he did not commit, and the other devises an elaborate plan to help his brother escape prison and clear his name.

A large tattoo covering Michael's torso and arms will unleash the intriguing melodrama in pursuit of justice. The iconic visual will reveal additional pieces of the puzzle each week, as Michael carries out his daring plan to mastermind the ultimate prison break – and solve the far-reaching national-scale conspiracy that landed his brother there in the first place.

Subscribers to NBC UNIVERSO will also be able to catch-up on PRISON BREAK episodes in Spanish on NBCUNIVERSO.com, on the NBC UNIVERSO NOW app, as well as on Video-on-Demand (VOD) for participating cable, satellite and telco services.
