After the series finale of the original Prison Break in 2009 (which showed Michael Scofield seemingly dead), premiered in 2017 — a revival that brought the show back after an 8-year hiatus. The season consists of 9 episodes (shorter than the typical 22-24 episode seasons of the original run). It aired on Fox from April 4 to May 30, 2017.
Season 5 successfully transitioned the show from a standard prison drama into a global political thriller. It answered the decade-long question of Michael’s fate while delivering the signature twists, tattoos, and "origami" clues that made the original series a cult classic.
Michael secures the necessary tools for the escape, but his cellmate, Ramal—a radical ISIL leader—demands to be included in the breakout. Michael is forced to comply to keep his cover. Meanwhile, Lincoln races against time to retrieve their forged passports from a local contact, only to be betrayed. Sara receives a message from Michael warning her that her phone has been hacked, leading her to suspect her new husband, Jacob Ness. Episode 4: "The Prisoner's Dilemma"
