Various surprises are coming up in the next season of “Prison Break”, and the producers of the show seemingly don’t want to give up on the idea, despite the various critical stages they’ve gone through. Even though we’ve seen the series deviating from its original idea quite a bit, it still managed to retain a solid fan base, and followers of the show are quite dedicated to it at this point.
One of the more notable plot twists lined up for fans is the revelation that Michael is still alive, which will be shown right in the beginning of the season. Not only that, but he will fight hard to win Sara back, and it sounds like their relationship will be a major point in the new season’s plot. We don’t know if he will end up successful or not, but we definitely expect the writers to give the two characters a lot of screen time once the season starts airing.
Michael will have lots of help trying to break out of prison, including T-Bag, C-Note and Sucre, according to reports – plus there might be some unexpected appearances as well. We wouldn’t put it past the producers of this show to have some surprises up their sleeve when it comes to the character line-up for the new season, so fans should keep their eyes open.
After all, “Prison Break” has changed a lot over the previous four seasons, and that included a major deviation from the original main idea of the show. Still, the writers managed to keep a good balance between the different important features in recent seasons, and in the end the show retained a large number of its original viewers, despite the risky moves that we saw along the way.
As for Michael and Sara, the implication is that there will be a major struggle in that relationship, mainly because Sara has already forgotten Michael and is moving forward with her life. It’s very likely that the two of them will not actually end up back together, but the story will rather be used as a catalyst to develop another part of Michael’s character. Plus, it would be a great way for the writers to advance his character and present him from a completely new side that we haven’t seen before, instead of returning him to his original state.
It would go in line with what fans of “Prison Break” have been requesting over the last few months in their online discussions about the show. There is a lot the writers can do to explore the potential of certain characters, especially those that have been presented in a more or less monotonous way until now. Michael, with his return from the dead, could be the perfect example of this, and the changes in his personality could kick off season 5 in a fantastic way.
It’s worth pointing out that fans have mixed expectations about this season at best. Many are skeptical of what the writers are preparing, and some are simply wary. Considering what the show has gone through, people have every right to be suspicious of this season, but we’re confident that the producers have found the right balance between the various important components this time. Who knows, this season could be just what the show needs to bring it back into the spotlight and ensure that we’ll be seeing it a lot more in the next years.
