"Prison Break" season 5 will bring back Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell as Michael Scofield and Lincoln Burrows, respectively, in one of the most anticipated revival series to date. Building on this anticipation, executive producer Vaun Wilmott released a new photo teasing Scofield's escape efforts.
Posting on Twitter, Wilmott revealed a photo of Wentworth Miller on set, and it appears that his character is looking around for a way to escape the prison facility where he is currently locked in. The caption for the photo confirms this, stating, "Michael on the monitor. Looking for a way out. 'Prison Break' is back."
The photo continues to point out that Michael is indeed alive and that he will need his brother, Lincoln, along with their friends and allies, to help break him out. Michael was presumed dead in the season 4 finale, but it has been revealed that he somehow survived, and now, he is in a desert prison.
According to the iTech Post, the past seven years may not have been good to Michael. All this time, his wife, his brother, and his friends had presumed he was dead as he may have gone through difficult times in prison. The report states that, when season 5 premieres, Michael might be in a much darker place.
It is also noted that Lincoln's story is also going to be heavier and darker. It is uncertain if this is due to the way Lincoln's life turned out after the season 4 finale or if it has something to do with the revelation that Michael had been alive and imprisoned all this time.
Sara Tancredi (Sarah Wayne Callies) may also have a darker story, and this may revolve around her discovery of Michael's survival and their ongoing story with their son, Michael Jr. She is also going to have a new love interest ,and this may complicate things when Michael has broken out of prison.
No official release date has been announced yet, although "Prison Break" is expected to premiere on Fox by early next year, presumably before the end of March 2017.
