'Prison Break 5' spoilers: reason why Michael was imprisoned revealed again

(Facebook/Prison Break)

"Prison Break 5" brings back Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller), who everyone thought was dead at the end of season 4. It turns out that Michael is still very much alive and the new season will focus on another series of prison breaks with the help of his brother, Lincoln (Dominic Purcell).

Fox has already announced the return of most of the characters from the show's last season, including Sarah Wayne Callies and Robert Knepper. Another familiar face is set to return as well. Paul Adelstein will return to reprise his role as Paul Kellerman, who was responsible for Michael's wrongful imprisonment.

Given that Paul is back and the overview of the story where another prison break will happen but this time with switched roles, fans start to wonder what else could be different in this revival series. There's still that mystery about how Michael turned up to be alive, but besides that and the fact that there's going to be another plot to escape from prison, what twist could the limited series have?

Purcell, who recently had an injury during filming for the series, gave some interesting details about the show. Speaking to Deadline, the actor revealed that the series will be set in a civil-war torn Yemen.

"We're dealing with ISIS and ISA, and obviously we left off with Michael presumably dead. He wasn't, he ended up working for this organization," Purcell explained. He added that Michael reached the point where he doesn't want to be affiliated with the group anymore so he got sent to prison so he could think about his decision.

However, Michael didn't change his mind and so he was then set up. Purcell then ended his revelation of some important plotlines of the story. He also went on to describe the show as a "cross between 'American Sniper' and 'Bourne Identity'" and he is certain that the fans will be "blown away" by the series.

"Prison Break 5" will be a nine-episode limited series which will premiere in Spring 2017.
