Production Development On January 12, 2015, at the 2015 Winter TCA Press Tour, Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell revealed the possibility that Fox was interested in bringing back Prison Break, with Miller stating : `` We actually floated the idea to Fox very casually and they seemed very not casual about this interest. They seemed to think there was something there. '' Purcell concluded by adding, `` It 's something that Fox is, as Wentworth said, potentially excited about. '' On January 17, 2015, Fox Television Group chairman and CEO Gary Newman made it clear that they would love to bring Prison Break back for another run, although Fox had nothing to report. Newman himself stated, `` There 's some speculation in the press at Prison Break and we 've made it clear at the studio that we 'd bring Prison Break back at the studio (... ) It 's the perfect event series. But at the moment, we have nothing else to report. '' On June 2, 2015, it was reported that a limited series revival of Paul Scheuring 's Prison Break was in development at Fox. On August 6, 2015, Fox confirmed a 10 - episode order for the revival. The limited series is a sequel to the original series, taking place several years later, and features Miller and Purcell reprising their roles as well as the return of other original characters. Fox Television Group chairman and CEO Dana Walden herself stated that Prison Break has performed particularly well internationally and on SVOD platforms such as Netflix. Walden added that : `` a logical and believable explanation to why the characters are alive and still moving around the world (... ) '' Walden said. `` The brothers and some of the iconic characters will be back, and it will address some questions that were set up at the end of the series for a new audience. '' On January 15, 2016, Fox officially ordered the revival to series, with the episode order revised to nine episodes, though Fox declined to announce how many episodes the series will run. The original producing team of creator Paul Scheuring, Neal Moritz, Marty Adelstein and Dawn Olmstead were all confirmed as to return for the event series as executive producers, with Scheuring writing and serving as showrunner.

'' Additionally, on February 22, 2016, it was confirmed that Sarah Wayne Callies was in talks to reprise her role in the follow - up along with Robert Knepper, Rockmond Dunbar and Amaury Nolasco, although there were no deals in place with any of them at that time.

On April 22, 2016, it was announced that Faran Tahir would play Jamil, whom Tahir describes as `` a man who has an inner conflict which again is something I love experimenting with. '' In July 2016, it was revealed that William Fichtner would not be reprising his role as Alexander Mahone. Robert Knepper told Digital Spy that `` ( writer ) Paul Scheuring loves Bill Fichtner and I love Bill Fichtner. He 's a brilliant actor -- but Paul honestly said to me, ' I do n't know what to do with that character '. He did n't want to just bring everybody back, so that the audience go, ' Oh, look, it 's Bill Fichtner again ! ' -- he honestly thought, ' I 'm not sure where to do that in the plot. ' So if someday there 's another chapter of this, maybe then Bill will be back. But I think the characters that are there, each of our moments that we have, are key to the storytelling, which is how it should be. '' Filming Production on the season began in April 7, 2016, in Vancouver, once Miller and Purcell completed filming for Legends of Tomorrow. Filming concluded in Vancouver on July 11, 2016. On June 1, 2016, Dominic Purcell was almost killed on set in Morocco, after an iron bar used as a set piece had fallen onto his head, which caused a broken nose and a head injury. Purcell was immediately airlifted from Marrakesh to Casablanca for treatment where he recovered. Filming of the series was not substantially disrupted due to the accident. Music Composer Ramin Djawadi stated that he would definitely like to return and work on the new season of Prison Break, after learning of the news of the possible revival, to which further stated, `` I literally just heard it, so it 's news for me. It 's very exciting because the show was such a good show but nobody has contacted me at this point. '' Djawadi later added, `` Most likely, if my schedule allows - that show was very close to me. I loved all the people involved. I thought it was an incredible show. Absolutely. '' In June 2016, it was confirmed that Djawadi would return as composer for season five.
