One of the most popular television shows, "Prison Break," has been officially brought back from the dead by FOX. The new "Prison Break" Season 5 has officially been confirmed by FOX though a release date has not been announced. Fan favourites Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell will reprise their roles as brothers who broke out from prison and escaped.

TV Line has reported that FOX network is working on a revival of the original series, "Prison Break" which starred Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell and aired for four seasons from 2005 through 2009.

Movie News Guide, meanwhile, reports that "Prison Break" Season 5 will have a real-life time jimp and will bring the two brothers back. Dana Walden, Fox producer, has confirmed that the series will comprise of 10 to 12 episodes that will tell one story like '24: Live Another Day".

Viewers will recall that "Prison Break," created by Paul Scheuring, was a sensation when it first launched in 2005. It had four successful seasons up to 2009.

When it first stated its run, "Prison Break" had all the essential ingredients to capture a loyal fan base - emotional drama, action and romance, family ties, and brotherhood.

The storyline centred around two brothers and had an interesting premise. One brother has been wrongly sentenced to death for a crime he has not committed. The other brother makes a plan to help his brother escape from prison. Both then try to find the real killer and clear the family name.

At the same time, a larger conspiracy on a national scale is also unveiled and stopped.

To revive the series, the creators will have to bring back Michael Scofield from the dead as it was shown he had died at end of season 4. His return from the dead may bring more family drama but a believable comeback has to be written for this.

To bring the excitement back and as a lead up to the launch of the new season, fans can expect re-runs of the previous seasons of "Prison Break" to air.

"Prison Break" Season 1 has already started airing in Spanish from Oct. 20 at NBC UNIVERSO.
