'Prison Break' season 5 release date updates: new episodes coming March 2017?
There's a lot of excitement both from the set of "Prison Break" season five and viewers who can't wait to see the breakout brothers back on-screen. Despite the silence of production regarding the exact release date of the new installment, there are rumors suggesting that the show may return to small screens by March 2017.
The speculations were ignited by a tweet from the show's writers. In the said Twitter post, the writers teased on a possible premiere in late March by stating: "There are factors that mean we don't have a firm date yet. I can promise that ep 1 will have aired before April."

Due to the hazy but solid statement, fans now expect the new episodes to start airing before March 2017 ends. If this is true, there will only be six months of waiting instead of an entire year.
Meanwhile, it is believed that the big comeback of "Prison Break" will be the most thrilling and action-packed season yet. This is a reasonable claim since fans waited for over six years before the new season was put on the table for a reboot. Also, the latest trailers dropped by the hit series are steaming with scenes that hint of a lot of action and drama for the cast members.
Michael (Wentworth Miller) will need to be saved by his brother Lincoln (Dominic Purcell) but it won't be very easy since the former is locked up in a Yemeni prison, away from his home soil and away from anybody who the brothers can completely trust.
Aside from the difficult planning and maneuvering in a foreign detention center, Michael still has to face his former flame, Sara (Sarah Wayne Callies), who initially thought that he died years back. Sara, who is already married to another man, may be an easier one to approach if the love they have for each other is still there but Michael has a much bigger wall to face: Little Mike.
The young boy has never seen his father and this will be their first meeting. It would be interesting to see how the show creates a scene during the face-off that will melt the hearts of fans.
