The show, which was picked up by A&E after Fox decided not to order a series, focuses on a group of convicts who work with US Marshals to capture criminals on the run.
Entertainment Weekly reports that producer Matt Olmstead is now trying to secure Knepper. The duo previously worked together on Prison Break.
The team behind Breakout Kings is allegedly hoping that Knepper will reprise his Prison Break character T-Bag.
Executives at 20th Century Fox, which is behind both Breakout Kings and Prison Break, have reportedly agreed to the plans but talks with Knepper are said to be ongoing.
Breakout Kings is expected to premiere early next year.
