Michael's (Wentworth Miller) apparent resurrection will be one of the main storylines for the revival season of "Prison Break."

After an eight-year hiatus, "Prison Break" will be making its anticipated comeback on the small screen next week. The show is set to air a 10-episode revival season that centers on how Lincoln will help his brother break out from a Moroccan prison.

Season 4 left off with a two-part special showing Sara (Sarah Wayne Callies) buying flowers with her son before visiting Michael's grave. In the season's final episode titled "Prison Break: The Final Break," Sara was incarcerated for the murder of Christina Scofield (Kathleen Quinlan). It was revealed that Michael was dying from a brain tumor, so he sacrificed his life to let Sara escape.

Executive producer Michael Horowitz caught up with The Hollywood Reporter and he was asked about the mystery behind Michael's resurrection. The EP teased that this huge mystery will not be left unresolved in the next installment.

"Obviously, he may have died at the end of season four, and so that's the fun creative box we've had to write our way out of. Paul [Scheuring] had a great answer for it," Horowitz said, referring to the show's creator. "As the season goes on, people are going to figure out how Michael became who he is now, how he got there, and how it all happened."

Meanwhile, cast member Dominic Purcell recently opened up about his on-set mishap that happened in June. The actor sustained serious head injuries when a stunt for the show went wrong. Although Purcell was not knocked unconscious, a falling iron bar slashed his head open in three places. Speaking with Yahoo! TV, he admitted that he thought he was going to die on set.

Fortunately, filming for the rest of the season was not affected by the accident. However, Purcell's broken nose from the accident did cause a slight continuity issue as production went on. "The audience will notice that in some scenes my nose is bigger than in other weeks," he said with a laugh. "It's kind of embarrassing, actually."

The fifth season of "Prison Break" premieres on Tuesday, April 4, at 9 p.m. EDT on FOX.
