There are some big rumours floating around in TV land over the past few weeks that the much loved U.S. smash hit series Prison Break will return to our screens sooner than expected.
According to various reports across the pond, bosses at the show’s U.S. home FOX are eager to get Michael Schofield and Co back on the air as soon as possible in a bid to boost the channel’s declining ratings. The smash hit series which is returning for a fifth season after a 7 year hiatus will apparently return 4 months ahead of schedule and hit U.S. screens in September with filming due to begin in a matter of weeks.
Meanwhile there has also been reports that the storyline will revolve around Michael and Sarah’s son who discovers that his father is still alive and imprisoned, but has no memory of his life with Lincoln and Sarah. Reports say that producers have already cast the role of Michael’s older son who desperately tries to find his long lost father who has been missing all those years after his self sacrificing electrocution to free Sarah from prison at the end of season 4.
The rumoured storyline was boosted by the fact that Sarah Wayne Callies(Dr Sarah Tancredi) has indeed in fact signed on to return to the series, she will however be joined by newcomer Mark Feuerstein who will play her husband.
Reports also suggest that fan favourites Robert Knepper (T-Bag) and Amaury Nolasco (Sucre) will also return to the series, although it is not yet known whether or not former stars William Fitchner (Alex Mahone) Rockmond Dunbar (Benjamin C-Note Miles Franklin) or Jodi Lyn O’Keefe (Gretchen Morgan) will make an appearance in the limited series revival.
To even add more spice to the pot, reports in the U.S. are even claiming that the 10 episode run will have a heartbreaking ending that will see Michael regain his memory only to suffer more pain when the love of his life Sarah will tragically die.
