'Prison Break' Revival: Wentworth Miller, Dominic Purcell, Sarah Wayne Callies' Season 5 A Go!

Because nostalgia goes a long way with audiences, Fox officially planning the revival of their popular crime drama, Prison Break. In Season 5, Wentworth Miller, Dominic Purcell, and Sarah Wayne Callies will return as Michael Scofield, Lincoln Burrows, and Sara Tancredi in the 10 episode run.

As we previously mentioned, Fox is currently developing a limited-series revival of its drama series. Miller and Purcell reprise once more as their sibling characters. Described as a "the perfect event series" by Fox co-chairman Gary Newman at the Television Critics Assoc. press tour, this will be a closed-ended storyline. Details were first sketchy because Michael passed away in the series finale. Robert Knepper also reprised his role as T-Bag in an episode of Breakout Kings.

We also mentioned, though she's working on The Colony for USA Network, Callies will reprise her role if former Prison Break executive producer, Dawn Parouse Olmstead, gives her the okay, "If there's anybody who has incentive to let me sneak off of set for a little bit and cross over to another lot. it would be Dawn."

According to TV Line, during the Television Critics Association summer press tour, Co-Chairman and CEO Dana Walden reveals, "I would describe it as a bit of a sequel. It picks up the characters several years after we left them in the last season of the show. The brothers will be back. Some of the iconic characters from that show will be back. I don't think [exec producer] Paul [Scheuring] knows exactly where he's going over the 10-episode arc, but it definitely will address some questions that were set up at the end of the series for a new audience."

Though Michael Scofield passed away in the last episode, Walden explains, "What [Paul] pitched to us was a very logical and believable - in the world of Prison Break - explanation for why our characters are alive and still moving around the world."

We have 5 reasons why we were so excited to see the Prison Break Reunion on The Flash:

The Prison Break revival will return to Fox in 2016.
