'Prison Break' season 5 to be bigger than previous seasons, says Dominic Purcell

(Facebook/Prison Break)Michael Scofield returns from the dead in "Prison Break" season 5.

Fans of "Prison Break" will witness a bigger and different kind of prison break when the well-loved series returns to the small screen after almost seven years of hiatus next year.

"'Prison Break' is back, and we're planning our biggest escape," says Dominic Purcell, who plays the role of Lincoln Burrows, in the latest teaser video for the said returning series.

"Breaking out of prison is just the beginning. We have to break out of the country itself," says Wenthworth Miller, who plays the role of Michael Scofield, in the same video.

Purcell further said that the upcoming season 5 of "Prison Break" will be incredibly exciting, believing that it will even be better than the original "Prison Break."

"The connection between the two brothers is a universal theme. It's love. It's blood," Purcell further said.

It has also been learned from the said video teaser that well-loved characters featured in the previous seasons of "Prison Break" will play a significant role in the upcoming season as they will help the brothers escape from Yemen, where Michael has been imprisoned all along, while everybody thought that he was already dead.

To the uninitiated, Michael was already killed in the season 4 finale of "Prison Break," which was aired back in May 2009. However, with Fox deciding to revive the series and tell the story of Michael and other characters anew, it found a way of bringing the character back to life by coming up with a plot wherein the character did not really die but is in Yemen and is forced to work for an international terrorist group.

While there is no denying that the upcoming season 5 of "Prison Break" bodes well of an action-packed entertainment, sad to say that the series will not be back after the upcoming season.

"'Look, nobody wants to revive this thing for multiple seasons and that whole long slog, but if we can tell a concise, closed-ended story in nine or ten episodes, I'd be amenable to that,'" said "Prison Break" creator Paul Scheuring to Entertainment Weekly as he shared his reply to Miller when the latter told him he wanted to breathe life anew to his Michael Scofield character.

"Prison Break" season 5 is expected to air over Fox in spring next year.
