'Prison Break' reboot spoilers, plot news: Michael Scofield is back from the dead; estranged characters meet anew

Fox's serialized drama "Prison Break" is set to return to television in early 2017 in a short fifth season. The miniseries will take off from Michael Scofield's (Wentworth Miller) reemergence after having succumbed to an apparent death in season 4. Reunions are expected — between Scofield and his brother Lincoln Burrows (Dominic Purcell), Scofield and lover Dr. Sara Tancredi (Sarah Wayne Callies), and Scofield and his previous pursuers.

Burrows, together with T-Bag (Robert Knepper), C-Note (Rockmonds Dunbar) and Sucre (Amaury Nolasco), will go overseas and travel the world in an attempt to find Scofield after they are convinced by reasons and a photo pointing them to believe that Scofield is alive and in a foreign prison. Scofield might also be in danger considering that someone has photographed him inside jail and that person might have known all along that he is alive.

Burrows will pay Tancredi a visit to deliver her the news he has received. The latter will express doubt and say that the both of them only want it to be true.

In the "Prison Break" season 5 official trailer, Tancredi, now married, is shown talking to her son with Scofield, Michael Jr., who asks her what his biological father was like. In response, she describes him as someone who was "like a storm," appearing suddenly only to disappear just as quickly. Her son then gives out a suggestive remark, "But storms, they can come back, can't they?"

It has been seven years since "Prison Break" concluded its four-season run in May 2009 through a standalone two-hour feature titled "The Final Break." Now cameras are reportedly rolling in Morocco for the serial drama's nine-episode reboot and for its Yemen prison-situated scenes. This might only be one place of filming for "Prison Break" as it has been reported that it will "unravel on an international landscape" in its revival miniseries.
