NEW DELHI: “Prison Break” ended its four-year run in 2009 with the death of protagonist Michael Scofield but writer-produced Vaun Wilmott says they decided to come up with a new season as they found a way to bring the lead character back from dead.
Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell are reprising their roles of Michael and Lincoln in the season five of the show.
It will begin airing in India from April 8 on on Star World and Star World HD.
“From my perspective, what I understand is that Paul Scheuring (the creator of the show) had a great idea to kind of bring it back, bring it back in a way that the fans would enjoy. And I think that was the genesis, or the seed that started the process,” Wilmott said in a statement.
Michael Horowitz, the executive producer of the show, said they were excited to come with a nine-episode new season as Paul “kind of finally figured out a really cool way to bring him back, and bring him back from the dead.”
“And I suppose we should not tell anybody that he’s alive, but I think it’s pretty obvious that Wentworth Miller’s in it.”
When asked whether fans will finally have a closure about Michael, Wilmott said the new season is similar to the first season as it has the same elements that made fans fall in love with the story. (AGENCIES)
