It will still take a while before FOX airs the premiere episode of the "Prison Break" reboot, but speculations claim that the series' fifth season will feature a highly emotional reunion between the show's main characters.

At the end of season 4, fans were made to believe that Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller) died from brain tumor. But based on the trailer for the "Prison Break" reboot, Michael seemed to have faked his death and got himself entangled in a big mess with an international terrorist group which brought him at a Yemeni prison. However, no one knows how Michael got in trouble with the terrorist group.

If Scofield was the one responsible for breaking his brother Lincoln Burrows (Dominic Purcell) out of prison in the early seasons of "Prison Break," the tables will turn in season 5. This time, Lincoln will find himself working with T-Bag (Robert Knepper), C-Note (Rockmond Dunbar), and Sucre (Amaury Nolasco) to rescue Michael in Yemen.

The team will also get the assistance of Michael's wife Sara (Sarah Wayne Callies) after she found out that the father of her child is still alive. But Sara will have a new husband named Jacob Ness (Mark Feuerstein), which could make her relationship with Michael more complicated.

Aside from the return of some of the show's original characters, the upcoming reboot of "Prison Break" will feature several additional characters like Sheba (Inbar Lavi), the activist who got involved with Lincoln, A&W (Marina Benedict), a ruthless villain, and Sid (Kunal Sharma), another Yemeni prisoner.

The upcoming "Prison Break" reboot will also introduce Whip (Augustus Prew), Ja (Rick Yune), and Van Gogh (Steve Mouzakis). They could be beneficial to help Lincoln and the rest of the team to get Michael out of prison.

Details about the air date of "Prison Break" season 5 had been scarce after the full trailer of the series had been released. But fans are expecting to see the show sometime in 2017.
