While the exact air date of "Prison Break" Season 5 is yet to be announced but it won't be long before the brothers are back. The Fox series, however, provided insights on what fans can expect from the upcoming fifth season.
According to Fox, the show is still in post-production so expect that "Prison Break" Season 5 will air before the year ends or possibly in December. Fans will be able to enjoy the most action packed season of the year with a possible additional new cast.
Possible character returns beside from the main cast Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell are Sarah Wayne Callies (Dr. Sara Tancredi), Robert Knepper (Theodore 'T-Bag' Bagwell), Amaury Nolasco (Fernando Sucre), Paul Adelstein (Paul Kellerman) and William Fichtner (Alex Mahone).
The upcoming "Prison Break" Season 5 will be a 10 episode series, according to TV Line with Wentworth Miller as escape artist Michael Scofield and Dominic Purcell as onetime Death Row inmate Lincoln Burrows.
Miller and Purcell are also on CW's "Legends of Tomorrow so the two actors will mostly have their hands full as they will be pretty busy keeping up with their shows. Fox CEO Dana Walden also acknowledge that the upcoming "Prison Break" Season 5 will mostly come from the original concept of writer Paul Scheuring.
"At the point that Paul left the show, he had certain [storyline] ideas but was not interested in staying with the show full-time," Walden said. "So I would say to those fans, 'This is the pure vision of the creator of the show.' It's going to take a little detour from where we left off, but it should feel very satisfying."
Expect the upcoming "Prison Break" Season 5 to be set in a different location where Michael will be in a Morocco prison with his brother Dominic planning his escape. The tides have turned between the brothers and it will be excited to see how these two would escape prison once again.
