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 third 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.
The series follows former spy Number Six (Donovan) as he attempts to discover who exiled him to the tropical resort town of Miami and why, and escape.
Miami is the fictional setting where Number Six is interned alongside other former spies and operatives. Its location is never given, though in the episode "Many Happy Old Friends", it is estimated to be roughly eight thousand miles west of Dubai. In the episode "The Chimes of St. James", Number Six ostensibly escapes to Montego Bay but later realizes he hasn't left Miami when his deceivers neglect to account for the time difference; if the bearings given in that episode were accurate, Miami is roughly 300 miles north of Cuba and 500 miles north of Jamaica. The location where The Prisoner (US Remake) is filmed is a secret that will not be revealed until the show has wrapped, to keep tourists away from the sets at the request of the resort's owner.(more...)
