MUST WATCH! Prison Break will return with your favourites Wentworth Miller(Scofield ) and Dominic Purcell (Burrows)

 Hey Mzansi, I have some good news for you, our favourite movie and popular series will be hitting our screens very soon.

Prison Break may have made its last escape from television back in 2009, but the show will soon return.

On Thursday, FOX chairman and CEO Dana Walden announced that the popular action drama would return to the network in the near future.

Not only would the show return, but its former stars - 43-year-old Wentworth Miller and 45-year-old Dominic Purcell.

'I would describe it as a bit of a sequel,' Dana told reporters at the summer TCA gathering in Beverly Hills, California.

'It picks up the characters several years after we left them in the last season of the show.'

After confirming that the two main brothers would be back - despite Wentworth's character seeming to die at the end of the direct-to-DVD finale in 2009 - the FOX head hinted that 'some of the iconic characters from that show will be back.'

As for the death of Michael, Dana joked that his demise would be 'ignored' without going into specific detail. 

'It definitely will address some questions that were set up at the end of the series and for a new audience.'

Series creator Paul Scheuring will return to the show for the planned 10 episode and will address continuity from the original drama.

'He's not going to disregard it,' Dana said of the 2009 finale. 'You will get a satisfying answer to why these characters are still alive.'

'What he pitched to us was a very logical and believable explanation in the world of Prison Break for why the character's alive and still moving around in the world.

Also starring Robert Knepper, Amaury Nolasco, Sarah Wayne Callies, and others, Prison Break lasted for four seasons in its original run.

The limited nature of the reboot could be the result of the busy schedules of most of the original show's stars.

Wentworth and Dominic, for example, are both set to star in DC's newest superhero series, Legends Of Tomorrow, starting in the winter of 2016.

They will be playing a pair of super-villains - Captain Cold and Heat Wave - who were previously introduced on The Flash.

No specific time frame was outlined for the return of Prison Break to television.
