Prison Break wasn’t as popular when it was airing on Fox, but the show popped off as soon as it hit Netflix waves. Whether you just tuned in to watch Wentworth Miller glide across the screen with his fully tattooed body and mysterious grin, you must admit the show had quite an addictive quality. Prison Break toys with a Lost -esque flavor. The entire 4 seasons is one long chase scene, that can at times, be extremely frustrating. However, Wentworth Miller, and co-stars Dominic Purcell, Sarah Wayne Callies, Robert Knepper make the show irresistible. So much so, that Fox has ordered a revival season.

TVLine confirmed Sarah Wayne Callies will return as Dr. Sara Tancredi. Wentworth Miller will be back to play Michael Scofield. Dominic Purcell returns as Michael’s brother, Lincoln Burrows. Both Miller and Purcell currently star as criminal partners, Captain Cold and Heat Wave, on DC’s Legends of Tomorrow on the CW. At this point it’s unclear if Robert Knepper’s gritty character, T-Bag, will return to the series.
Season 5 takes place after Michael 'died' of brain cancer. Sara has found a new husband (Mark Feuerstein) to start a life with and take care of Michael’s baby. However, she learns that Michael may not be dead and pairs with Lincoln to plan “the biggest escape ever.” According to Fox CEO Dana Walden, the reboot takes place in an international landscape.
The Prison Break revival will reportedly begin filming the 9-episode mini-series in Vancouver, Canada in April.
