The excitement for the revival of "Prison Break" is starting to build up, especially after the release of the new sneak peek at the show's fifth season.

FOX unveiled a new trailer for "Prison Break" season 5, showing how Lincoln Burrows (Dominic Purcell) found out that his brother Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller) is alive but locked up in a foreign prison.

The video also reveals how Lincoln informed Sara Tancredi (Sarah Wayne Callies) that the father of her son did not die when he was helping her escape prison for killing Christina Hamilton (Kathleen Quinlan). This means that Lincoln and his friends must do everything that they can in order to get Michael out of prison.

In the clip, executive producer Dawn Olmstead said that most of the returning characters will work together with one common goal.

According to Olmstead, "All the people you loved from the original Prison Break play a significant role in helping" Michael break out of the Yemeni prison. But according to Miller, Lincoln, Michael, and the gang must be prepared to "break out of the country itself" if they want to bring him back to his family in the upcoming season.

Other returning stars for "Prison Break" season 5 include Amaury Nolasco as Michael's friend Fernando Sucre, Robert Knepper as T-Bag, Rockmond Dunbar as C-Note Franklin and Paul Adelstein as Paul Kellerman.

The synopsis for the upcoming season reads:

"In the all-new event series, filmed on location in Morocco, clues surface that suggest a previously thought-to-be-dead Michael may be alive. Lincoln and Sara, Michael's wife until he was assumed dead, reunite to engineer the series' biggest escape ever, as three of Fox River State Penitentiary's most notorious escapees, Sucre, T-Bag, and C-Note, are pulled back into the action."

The fifth season of "Prison Break" is included in the midseason line-up of FOX early next year.
