"Prison Break" fans are in the know by now that the show is set to return for a fifth season and will finally answer the questions that were left hanging after it went on an eight-year break.

Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller), who was thought to have died in the original series' finale, will be seen locked up in a prison in the Arab country of Yemen when the upcoming season premieres.

Aside from Michael and Lincoln Burrows (Dominic Purcell), several other familiar faces from the "Prison Break" lore are slated to return next year. One of whom is Theodore Bagwell, better known "T-Bag," assumed by Robert Knepper. Not only is he confirmed to join the mayhem in the show's much-awaited installment, but he is expected to be pivotal in locating the whereabouts of Michael. Nevertheless, it is believed that Knepper's character will still maintain his scheming persona as he is said to want something from Lincoln in exchange for information on Michael.

It was previously revealed that T-Bag will be the one to break the shocking news to Lincoln that his brother is still alive and is currently doing time in the aforementioned country with a very slim chance of getting freed.

Lincoln then sets off to Yemen to see for himself if T-Bag's claims are indeed true. The being said, he immediately devises a plan to have his brother escape the situation that he's in by negotiating to some characters who he finds useful in helping him pull off the feat he's about to do.

Furthermore, it is also rumored that Lincoln could be the one killed off this time which could be one of the show's tearjerker scenes.

Meanwhile, if rumors about the show's release are to be believed, it is said that the show could premiere in spring of next year.
