Prison Break Season 5 Spoilers

For anyone who has watched Prison Break, you know that it wouldn’t be the same without a physical prison break. At the end of Season 4 and what fans assumed to be the end of the series, Michael appeared to have passed away. As teaser trailers have revealed, this is not the case. Somehow, Michael managed to survive the explosion. Not only did he manage to survive, but he ended up being locked in a grim-looking prison in Yemen. Fortunately, his big brother Lincoln is going to come to his rescue.

While everyone believed Michael was dead, he had actually been working for an ISIS-style terrorist group. “He’s been up to some not-so-nice things and there’s a question as to whether or not he’s even qualified to be considered a good man,” Wentworth Miller, who plays the character Michael, revealed about the series. Wentworth also reveals that Michael may have crossed lines he can never come back from and that is the story currently being told. Is this the same Michael fans loved seven years ago?

Old friends and enemies will be returning to Prison Break Season 5. Lincoln will work with C-Note and Sucre in order to break Michael out of the Yemen prison. Lincoln is also forced to trust T-Bag as he is originally the person who tells Lincoln about Michael being alive. The hitman who turned into a congressman, Paul Kellerman, will also be in Season 5. Unexpectedly, it appears as if he is Sara’s new husband. Sara has a young son with Michael, but she has been under the impression he was dead and seven years has passed. What will happen when she finds out Michael is alive? A lot of Season 5 of Prison Break will be inspired by the Greek tragedy Odyssey.

While this is nothing more than a quickly spreading rumor, it would appear as if Lincoln gets himself in a lot of sticky situations this season. Storyboards for Season 5 released by Entertainment Weekly reveal Lincoln getting hit and severely injured by a truck – could this kill him?

The exact release date of Prison Break Season 5 has yet to be revealed. Movie News Guide has shared a rough line-up for next year. This lineup reveals that the release date for Season 5 of Prison Break will be sometime during the winter and spring of 2017.
