I haven't watched the original Prisoner series, but I'm very excited about AMC's new reboot in the form of a 6 hour miniseries, which will be premiering on November 15.

Thanks to AMC, we have a synopsis of the show, a trailer, some behind the scenes videos and promo photos.

crop8In November, AMC will present The Prisoner miniseries, a reinterpretation of the British 1960s cult hit series that starred and was co-created by Patrick McGoohan.

The Premise : A man, known as Six, finds himself inexplicably trapped in The Village with no memory of how he arrived. As he explores his environment, he discovers that his fellow inhabitants are identified by number instead of name, have no memory of any prior existence, and are under constant surveillance.

Not knowing whom to trust, Six is driven by the need to discover the truth behind The Village, the reason for his being there, and most importantly -- how he can escape.

Jim Caviezel (The Passion of the Christ , The Thin Red Line) will play the role of Six; and two-time Oscar nominee Ian McKellen (Lord of the Rings, The Da Vinci Code) will co-star as Two.

If you want more information about the rest of the cast and the characters they play, read AMC's website.
