The "Prison Break" season 5 family just got bigger with two newcomers joining lead stars Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell.

"Fast and Furious" alum Rick Yune, who is best known for his villainous role as Johnny Tran in the racing movie franchise, has been added to the drama reboot as a Korean identity thief known as Ja.

He is the ultimate epitome of "looks can be deceiving" because his wit is concealed by his unkempt appearance. This should definitely play out to his advantage when he works his criminal magic in "Prison Break" season 5.

The other newcomer to join "Prison Break" season 5 is Augustus Prew (pictured below), who recently starred in period drama "The Borgias." The actor will play the role of a man named Whip. Not much is known about the character except that he's "funny, crazy and pretty damn sharp."

It remains to be seen what Yune and Prew's characters will exactly be up to in "Prison Break" season 5 and how they will impact Michael Scofield and Lincoln Burrows's lives. Nonetheless, it appears that they will be the new elements in the show that old fans will have to watch out for.

As for how "Prison Break" season 5 will work, FOX co-chairman and CEO Dana Walden told TV Line that "The story unravels on an international landscape — it's not a domestic [plot]. We open on a very international contemporary-feeling story."

[Spoiler Alert!] Walden also promises that "Prison Break" season 5 will pick up right where the straight-to-DVD epilogue of the show back in 2009 left off. Here, Miller's character Scofield passed away, but considering the actor is on board, it looks like he isn't a goner after all.

Earlier this month, it was also confirmed that Mark Feuerstein was cast to play the role of Scott Ness, Sara Trancedi's (played by Sarah Wayne Callies) new husband. Callies has been recently confirmed to return as well after long negotiations.
