It looks like the wait for the premiere for "Prison Break" season 5 will soon be over, as the official air date of the serial drama thriller's return is about to be revealed.

The writers of the show confirmed on Twitter that fans will finally learn about season 5's premiere date in the coming week after one of the fans asked them if there is any truth to the report that the people behind the show will make an announcement on May 16.

But while waiting for the premiere date announcement, the production of "Prison Break" season 5 is currently in full swing. Behind-the-scenes photos of the show's production in Vancouver emerged online, which led to several speculations regarding the plot of the upcoming season. Some of the photos uploaded on Twitter show actor Wentworth Miller as he films several scenes at a Middle Eastern café. There is also a photo showing that another location was transformed into a Middle Eastern railway. This could mean that Miller's character Michael Scofield will be outside the country instead of spending time behind bars.

The international location of "Prison Break" season 5 was also teased by Morocco World News in early April, saying that some of the scenes for the reboot of the series will be filmed in three Moroccan cities, namely Rabat, Ouarzazate, and Casablanca.

The publication also teased the plot for the upcoming season, claiming that Scofield was actually imprisoned in Yemen while everyone thought that he was already dead. The report also said that Scofield's friends will likely plan to get him out of jail.

Meanwhile, actor Rockmond Dunbar teased that "Prison Break" season 5 could be better than its last two seasons.

"The first two seasons were amazing... How can you top amazing... But!!! You CAN match amazing. #waitforit," the actor who portrays the role of C-Note said on Twitter.
