Fox's much-anticipated "Prison Break" Season 5 will finally return to the small screen next year, with Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller) knee-deep in trouble under a Yemeni prison after being framed by the terrorist group ISIS. Fans are excited about his breakout in prison, facilitated by no less than his brother, Lincoln (Dominic Purcell). But what lies ahead of the escapee once he jumps the bars?
Several reports are now suggesting that "Prison Break" Season 5 will take inspiration from the Odyssey, the Greek mythological tale of hero Odysseus as he embarks on a 10-year journey back home to his wife and son. Will it take just as long for Michael to go home? Here's a roundup of everything you need to know about "Prison Break" Season 5: spoilers, leaks, rumors, storyline arcs and more.
What to expect from 'Prison Break' Season 5
A report from Movie News Guide suggested that "Prison Break" Season 5 will be taking cue from the Odyssey. Like the mythological hero Odysseus, the fifth installment of the action-thriller series will be focusing on Michael's Scofield's journey back home. But just like Odysseus, his wife and son have already moved on with their lives, although the trailer showed Sara (Sarah Wayne Callies) with her son, as they talked about the possibility of his father coming back home.
As such, it's possible that Michael's family have been waiting in the wings for his comeback in "Prison Break" Season 5. But reports strongly suggested that Michael's return isn't all good, as the wrath of the Isis would inevitably double down on him once he escapes. It's also rumored that Lincoln might die trying to protect his brother from the vengeful terrorist group.
Will Michael have a happy ending after all? Find out when "Prison Break" Season 5 returns to the screen in 2017. Stay tuned to GamenGuide for more "Prison Break" Season 5 spoilers, news and updates!
