Prison Break season 5 trailer sheds light on how Wentworth Miller's Michael Scofield evaded death

Wentworth Miller's protagonist is back from the dead

Tipping off Scofield's brother Lincoln (Dominic Purcell) on Michael's whereabouts is the former prisoner, Theodore "T-Bag" Bagwell (Robert Knepper). After enlisting the help of Michael's 'widow' Sara Tancredi (Sarah Wayne Callies) - the former Fox River physician he meets in season one - plans are put into motion to get Michael out.

The above clip addresses the mystery of Scofield's presence - shady considering the last we saw of him, he was seemingly dead and buried.

Prison Break began in 2005 and tracked the story of Scofield who gets himself imprisoned with the intention of breaking out his innocent brother, Lincoln (Dominic Purcell).

The show ran for four seasons before the axe fell; a supposed swansong arriving in the form of a wrap-up TV movie titled The Final Break in 2009. Fox and creator Paul Scheuring cited the show's Netflix popularity as one of the main reasons to revive the series which Scheuring has branded a "bit of a sequel."

Returning for Fox's event series are the characters Sara Tancredi (Sarah Wayne Callies), Theodore "T-Bag" Bagwell (Robert Knepper), Amaury Nolasco (Fernando Sucre), Rockmond Dunbar (Benjamin Miles "C-Note" Franklin) and Paul Adelstein (Paul Kellerman).

Last year, a survey found that the revival was 20 times more anticipated than any other TV show; it will begin in the US on 4 April - there is currently word on a UK air date.
