William Fichtner has been tapped for the lead role in TNT’s drama pilot Night and Day. William doesn’t have a deal with Prison Break beyond Season 4, so I guess it makes sense. As of right now there are no plans to kill off his character, but there are also no plans for a Season 5!
Anyway, the new project is written and executive produced by 24 co-creator Joel Surnow and Todd Robinson. Night and Day is supposed to be a fast-paced, gritty drama about the life of Dan Hollister [Fichtner], an agent with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms who works for a special threat intervention task force.
