Sucre Asks To Join Lincoln In Finding Michael | Season 5 Ep. 1 | PRISON BREAK

The drama has made an incredible comeback after it first aired in 2005 on Fox and ended in 2009 after four seasons.

Following the long break, the US programme has been revived and it"s fifth season certainly pleased viewers as they rushed to social media to gush about its return in the US.

@PrisonBreak definitely didn"t disappoint! So much action packed into one episode. Can"t wait for the rest of the season.

My heart is so happy prison break is back, said another, whilst a third added: I missed you so much prison break! Welcome back.

The shows comeback was too much for one fan as they tweeted: Im crying so hard, everything was on point, like Im shook right now!! #PrisonBreak.

In the last season, viewers were led to believe that Michael Scofield (played by Wentworth Miller) was dead.

But in the opening episode, the truths were unravelled as his brother Lincoln Burrows (Dominic Purcell) discovered he is in fact alive and is being held in a Yemen prison.

After tracking him down, the two siblings come face-to-face but its clear Michael is hiding something.

He now goes under the false name Kaniel Outis and claimed he doesnt know who his brother is.

Talking about the character, executive producer Paul Scheuring told The Hollywood Reporter: By the end of the first episode, we really wanted to leave a question mark over the character of Michael.

Who is he? What has he become? Is it him? If it"s not him, who is this man that looks exactly like him? Also, if it is him, could those seven years have massively changed him?"

prison break returns to the uk next Tuesday at 9pm on FOX UK.
