Fans of the hit television drama series may have to wait until next year to know what happened to brothers Lincoln Burrows and Michael Scofield, played by actors Dominic Purcell and Wentworth Miller, respectively, after the series ended in 2009.

In the four-season series, Purcell and Miller found themselves in the midst of a serious conspiracy which started when Lincoln was sentenced to death for murdering the kin of then, United States Vice President Caroline Reynolds. Michael was convinced of his brother's innocence and decided to help him escape by being imprisoned himself.
There, he meets prison doctor Sara Tancredi, played by actress Sarah Wayne Callies, who is also set to reprise her role.

The next seasons saw the three characters discover deeper and uglier truths that surround Lincoln's conviction. The series also has shown the bond the two brothers shared which also featured flashbacks of their childhood. The love story of Sarah and Michael figured prominently throughout the series as well.

The series ended with Sarah, her son Michael, Lincoln and two characters Sucre and Mahone, visiting Michael's tomb. Incidentally, Miller and Purcell also co-star as recurring characters in currently running series' "The Flash" and "Legends of Tomorrow." In the said shows, they play villain protagonists Captain Cold and Heat Wave. Being involved in the both series was the early cause of shooting delays for "Prison Break's" revival.

Another reason for the shooting delay is Callies' involvement in another show, a dystopian drama called "Colony." The Bitbag quotes the actress as explaining, "They're trying to make it work, I'm trying to make it work – it's a bit of Tetris with everyone's schedules because we all have other jobs."
