Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell won't be the only original cast members reprising their roles in "Prison Break" season 5. More stars from the series will be back in the new season of the crime drama.
It has been confirmed that Robert Knepper, Amaury Nolasco and Rockmond Dunbar will be back in "Prison Break" season 5. Their return shows that the new season will be peppered with familiar faces.
Knepper is set to reprise his role as Theodore "T-Bag" Bagwell in "Prison Break" season 5. He is known to be a violent, calculating psychopath. It looks like he will be causing trouble in the much-awaited FOX revival.
Meanwhile, Dunbar will once again essay Benjamin Miles "C-Note" Franklin in "Prison Break" season 5. He was a major character in the first two seasons.
Lastly, Nolasco will be back as Fernando Sucre, who became friends with Miller's Michael Scofield in prison and is pretty much a big presence in all four seasons of "Prison Break."
The announcement of Knepper, Nolasco and Dunbar's comeback follows the news about actress Sarah Wayne Callies returning in "Prison Break" season 5 as Dr. Sara Trancedi.
By the end of "Prison Break" season 4, Sara was a widow after her husband Scofield's death. However, it is being said that Miller's character is not as dead as fans thought.
Either way, it seems that Sara has moved on seeing that in "Prison Break" season 5, she has a new husband – Cornell economics professor Scott Ness, played by "Royal Pains" star Mark Feuerstein.
The original producing team for "Prison Break" will also be reuniting behind the camera in the revival. This includes Paul T. Scheuring as showrunner and writer, with Neal Moritz, Marty Adelstein and Dawn Olmstead as executive producers, along with Vaun Wilmott, Michael Horowitz and Nelson McCormick.
A premiere date for "Prison Break" season 5 hasn't been determined yet, although the production is expected to kick off next month. Media outlets imagine a late 2016 or early 2017 premiere.
