With the confirmed return of Michael Scofield, Lincoln Burrows, Sara Tancredi, Fernando Sucre, T-Bag, C-Note, Paul Kellerman, and all their respective actors and actresses, it is a massive boost for the show’s upcoming Season 5.
There is only one piece of the puzzle that remains to be solved. Fans are asking whether William Fichtner is still going to appear in “Prison Break” Season 5 as Alexander Mahone. The actor has not been confirmed yet but his character is certified one of the fan-favorites in “Prison Break” and it would disappoint a lot of the fans of the TV series if it will return without him.
Incidentally, because of the seven-year different since the show ended, Season 5 will also have some sort of time jump but it has been confirmed that it is going to be a sequel of the previous Season 4.
It can no longer pick up from the Season 4 finale for obvious reasons but the showrunners will certainly find a way to make fans felt that they are still viewing the same show after a while.
Critics are saying that the “Prison Break” revival could be a deep-thinking thriller. But some are saying that the TV series works best as a fast-paced action-fest.
