Premise[edit]
Seven years after his apparent death, Michael Scofield resurfaces in the notorious Ogygia Prison in Sana'a, Yemen, under the name Kaniel Outis. As the country is engulfed by war, two of Michael's old friends, his brother Lincoln Burrows and fellow Fox River escapee Benjamin 'C-Note' Franklin, risk their lives by traveling to Yemen to bring Michael home. Back in the United States, Michael's wife Sara, now remarried, is hunted by agents of an operative known as Poseidon, the one responsible for Michael's disappearance.

Production[edit]Development[edit]
On January 12, 2015, at the 2015 Winter TCA Press Tour, Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell revealed the possibility that Fox was interested in bringing back Prison Break, with Miller stating: 'We actually floated the idea to Fox very casually and they seemed very not casual about this interest. They seemed to think there was something there.' Purcell concluded by adding, 'It's something that Fox is, as Wentworth said, potentially excited about.'[15]
On January 17, 2015, Fox Television Group chairman and CEO Gary Newman made it clear that they would love to bring Prison Break back for another run, although Fox had nothing to report. Newman himself stated, 'There's some speculation in the press at Prison Break and we've made it clear at the studio that we'd bring Prison Break back at the studio [..] It's the perfect event series. But at the moment, we have nothing else to report.'[16]
On June 2, 2015, it was reported that a limited series revival of Paul Scheuring's Prison Break was in development at Fox.[17]
On August 6, 2015, Fox confirmed a 10-episode order for the revival. The limited series is a sequel to the original series, taking place several years later, and features Miller and Purcell reprising their roles as well as the return of other original characters. Fox Television Group chairman and CEO Dana Walden herself stated that Prison Break has performed particularly well internationally and on SVOD platforms such as Netflix.[18] Walden added that: 'a logical and believable explanation to why the characters are alive and still moving around the world [..]' Walden said. 'The brothers and some of the iconic characters will be back, and it will address some questions that were set up at the end of the series for a new audience.'[19]
On January 15, 2016, Fox officially ordered the revival to series,[20] with the episode order revised to nine episodes, though Fox declined to announce how many episodes the series will run.[21] The original producing team of creator Paul Scheuring, Neal Moritz, Marty Adelstein and Dawn Olmstead were all confirmed as to return for the event series as executive producers, with Scheuring writing and serving as showrunner.[20]
Writing[edit]
On August 7, 2015, it was announced that creator and executive producer Paul Scheuring would be writing the first episode as well as a style/tone bible for other writers to follow.[22]
Casting[edit]
On January 15, 2016, stars Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell were confirmed to be reprising their roles as brothers Michael Scofield and Lincoln Burrows.[23]
On February 22, 2016, it was reported that Mark Feuerstein would play Scott Ness (later changed to Jacob Ness), the husband of Dr. Sara Tancredi, a Professor of Economics (game theory) at Cornell who has been described as, 'dubious of the government but still has a bit of fight in him when it comes to taking them on.'[24] Additionally, on February 22, 2016, it was confirmed that Sarah Wayne Callies was in talks to reprise her role in the follow-up along with Robert Knepper, Rockmond Dunbar and Amaury Nolasco, although there were no deals in place with any of them at that time.[25]
On March 9, 2016, Augustus Prew, Rick Yune and Steve Mouzakis were cast for 'heavily recurring roles'. Prew plays 'funny, crazy and pretty damn sharp' Whip; Yune plays Ja, who is described as a 'Korean identity thief, who disheveled appearance belies his genius'; and Mouzakis plays Van Gogh, 'a bad-ass nut-job'.[26] On March 9, 2016, Sarah Wayne Callies was confirmed to be returning as Sara Tancredi.[27] On March 16, 2016, Amin El Gamal was cast in a recurring role, playing Cyclops.[28]
On March 17, 2016, it was announced that original stars Robert Knepper, Amaury Nolasco and Rockmond Dunbar would be reprising their respective roles as T-Bag, Sucre and C-Note, respectively.[29] On March 21, 2016, Paul Adelstein was confirmed to be reprising his role as Paul Kellerman.[30] On March 21, 2016, Inbar Lavi, Marina Benedict and Kunal Sharma were cast in major recurring roles.[31] Lavi plays Sheba, an operator/fixer/activist who becomes involved with Burrows.[32] Benedict is A&W, 'a crazed and fearless villainess who is unconcerned about her physical well-being but ruthless and efficient in completing her deadly goals', and Sharma plays Sid, a man in prison.[31] On April 22, 2016, it was announced that Faran Tahir would play Jamil, whom Tahir describes as 'a man who has an inner conflict which again is something I love experimenting with.'[33]
In July 2016, it was revealed that William Fichtner would not be reprising his role as Alexander Mahone.[34] Robert Knepper told Digital Spy that '[writer] Paul Scheuring loves Bill Fichtner and I love Bill Fichtner. He's a brilliant actor – but Paul honestly said to me, 'I don't know what to do with that character'. He didn't want to just bring everybody back, so that the audience go, 'Oh, look, it's Bill Fichtner again!' – he honestly thought, 'I'm not sure where to do that in the plot.' So if someday there's another chapter of this, maybe then Bill will be back. But I think the characters that are there, each of our moments that we have, are key to the storytelling, which is how it should be.'[34]
Filming[edit]
Production on the season began in April 7, 2016, in Vancouver, once Miller and Purcell completed filming for Legends of Tomorrow.[35] Filming concluded in Vancouver on July 11, 2016.[36] On June 1, 2016, Dominic Purcell was almost killed on set in Morocco, after an iron bar used as a set piece had fallen onto his head, which caused a broken nose and a head injury. Purcell was immediately airlifted from Marrakesh to Casablanca for treatment where he recovered. Filming of the series was not substantially disrupted due to the accident.[37][38][39]
Music[edit]
Composer Ramin Djawadi stated that he would definitely like to return and work on the new season of Prison Break, after learning of the news of the possible revival, to which further stated, 'I literally just heard it, so it's news for me. It's very exciting because the show was such a good show but nobody has contacted me at this point.' Djawadi later added, 'Most likely, if my schedule allows - that show was very close to me. I loved all the people involved. I thought it was an incredible show. Absolutely.'[40] In June 2016, it was confirmed that Djawadi would return as composer for season five.[41]
Reception[edit]Critical response[edit]
On review aggregatorRotten Tomatoes, the season has an approval rating of 53% based on 32 reviews, with an average score of 5.94/10. The site's critical consensus reads, 'Prison Break recaptures some of its old urgency in its return, but familiar faces and frenetic action aren't enough to make up for a plot that manages to bore while beggaring belief.'[42] On Metacritic, the season has a score of 48 out of 100, based on 18 critics, indicating 'mixed or average reviews'.[43]
Ratings[edit]
Home media release[edit]

Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller)'s story on Prison Break presumably ended with his name being cleared and a life of normalcy on the horizon. However, a new Instagram post from Dominic Purcell suggests that there might be another jailbreak in his future.
The actor, who played Michael's brother Lincoln on the show, posted an image teasing a potential Season 6 of the Fox series. 'In the works,' he wrote in the caption. The two also starred together on DC's Legends of Tomorrow with Miller as Captain Cold and Purcell stepping into the role of Heat Wave — a situation which helped inspire their decision to move forward with a fifth season of Prison Break, which aired earlier this year.
It's cool that Purcell is on board for this possible new season, but do we really want it? Or even need it? After all, Season 5 did a pretty good job of wrapping up their stories with both Lincoln and Michael finally being exonerated and free to live out their best lives. Don't you want them to be happy? Another season would only mean more trouble, and seriously — how many prisons can two people break out of?
If the project does come to fruition, however, let's hope they go with Miller's Season 6 pitch which would feature the juvenile detention center Michael and Lincoln first learned to become the masterful criminals capable of breaking out of prison. Miller's proposal would find the brothers kidnapped by a tech billionaire named Tag who also happens to be a superfan.
No additional details have been released about the alleged new season, but we do know Miller is available to reprise his role now that he has left the Arrowverse for good.

A post shared by @wentworthmiller on
'Prison Break' just ended its limited return season, and fans want MORE, especially of one particular character.
Not all fans are pushing for a Season 6, since the Season 5 finale was darn near perfect, giving Michael (Wentworth Miller), Lincoln (Dominic Purcell), and Sara (Sarah Wayne Callies) their happy endings. There was tragedy in the loss of poor Whip (Augustus Prew), leading to his dad (still sounds weird) T-Bag (Robert Knepper) getting revenge. In one glorious final twist, T-Bag ended up back in the OG prison Fox River, as the new bunkmate of Jacob (Mark Feuerstein).
At this point, Fox does not have 'Prison Break' on the schedule for this fall, and there are 'no plans right now' for the show to return, since the producers and writers have yet to come up with a worthy story. So you can stop asking about it on Twitter.
Hey! Who has a question that is NOT about whether or not there will be a season 6? (We don't know)#PrisonBreak
— Prison Break Writers (@PBWritersRoom) May 31, 2017 However, if there is a Season 6 at some point -- if the writers come up with the perfect next chapter -- the fans and executive producer Paul Scheuring all know one thing they want to add: More Sucre (Amaury Nolasco).
so y'all only brought sucre back for two seconds this whole season??? #PrisonBreakpic.twitter.com/oc90UiKGE1
— jas (@jasminmhernand) May 31, 2017
I really wish Sucre had a bigger role in this season though :/ #PrisonBreak

PRISON BREAK FINALE GOT ME MAD WHERE DID SUCRE GO WHAT IS HAPPENING #PRISONBREAK@PBWritersRoom PLEASE EXPLAIN
— Caleb (@jahazielcaleb) May 31, 2017
Such a good episode but hey where is Sucre??? We all need a 'Goodbye Papi' #PrisonBreak@PrisonBreak ???????????? — J☇ (@JaazCantelmo) May 31, 2017
#prisonbreak Great Season!! T-Bang amazing like always.. season 6? Only if the story is about Sucre. Michel part is over.
— Stefano B. (@barchiStefano7) May 31, 2017 Sucre's name also came up at the end of Entertainment Weekly's Q&A with Paul Scheuring:
EW: Is there anything you wish you had gotten to do this season?
Paul Scheuring: 'That's a good question. No, this was all outlined pretty copiously before the season started, so we shot exactly what we intended. Obviously you always want bigger action sequences and more time to film and that sort of stuff, but I feel like given the very tiny window we had to make this, I think we've got to do what we want to do, so I feel pretty good about that.
One thing that's funny is, I will say that a lot of fans are really clamoring for Sucre because they haven't seen him since episode 1. I love Sucre, I wish he could've been in the season more, but again, all characters had to be organically within the series and he didn't really have a role other than being the sidekick running around in Yemen, which he really didn't have a skill set for. So I guess I wish there could've been more Sucre, but that would have been creatively disingenuous to include him more than that, but if there's another season maybe there's way more Sucre.'
