The HISTORY channel has greenlit the new nonfiction series Great Escapes with Morgan Freeman<\/em> (working title).<\/p>\n

Hosted and executive produced by the Academy Award-winning actor, the 6×1-hour series will reveal in detail history\u2019s greatest convict escapes from some of the most notorious prisons in the world. The show, produced by Revelations Entertainment, is part of A+E Networks’ offering for MIPCOM Online+.<\/p>\n

Freeman commented: \u201cI\u2019ve been inside the minds of prisoners in my acting career, and I\u2019m looking forward to stepping inside the most notorious prisons in the world, like Alcatraz, Sing Sing, Riker\u2019s Island and Leavenworth. Audiences will feel like they\u2019re making the escapes themselves as I walk them into a virtual world and through the greatest escapes in history.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe HISTORY channel is honored to partner with Morgan and his production team, Revelations Entertainment, to deliver context and backstory to some of history\u2019s infamous prison escapes,\u201d said Eli Lehrer, executive VP and general manager for the HISTORY channel. \u201cMorgan’s gravitas will help ground this series and drive the drama in a way no other face or voice can.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
