The renewal of "Prison Break" even after the last episode aired in 2009 was a big surprise to all its fans. But what's more shocking was when it was confirmed that Wentworth Miller's character, Michael Scofield, was actually alive and it's now his turn to escape in "Prison Break" Season 5.
It's no longer a surprise that Michael will be back in "Prison Break" Season 5. The official trailer revealed it so and Miller's co-star Dominic Purcell has also been generous enough to share storylines for the limited series. Back in June, Purcell told Deadline that the story will deal with terrorist groups, ISA and ISIS. Obviously, Michael turns up alive and is actually working for an organization. Soon, Michael realizes that he can no longer continue doing the dirty work, which resulted in him getting thrown into jail in Yemen.
In the sneak peek of "Prison Break" Season 5, it was also revealed that Michael is in the Ogygia Prison in Yemen. All his friends from the previous seasons will also be back to help Lincoln plan the big escape. But having Lincoln and company break out Michael is just the beginning of the challenge, Miller shared. What's much more difficult is getting out of Yemen altogether.
While much of the major storyline was teased, fans are wondering what surprise lies for them from "Prison Break" Season 5. There are still a lot of mysteries to solve, especially on how Michael turned up to be alive. It also remains to be seen if he'll finally end up with Sara (Sarah Wayne Callies), who is now married to another man. Everyone believed that Michael died from a brain tumor, but it turns out to be not the case. The revival series, although limited, will have a "logical explanation" of how Michael was able to survive.
"Prison Break" Season 5 is slated to return to Fox in 2017. An exact date has yet to be announced. Fans should just tune in for more updates.
