The first trailer has been unveiled for the revival of the hit TV series Prison Break, with Wentworth Miller returning to the role of Michael Scofield, this time behind bars in a foreign jail.

The new nine-episode series will be a continuation of the drama that ran for four seasons on Fox from 2005 to 2009 and revolved around two brothers, Lincoln Burrows (Dominic Purcell) and Michael Scofield. In the original series, Lincoln was sentenced to death for a crime he did not commit and structural engineering whiz Michael devises an elaborate plan to help his brother escape from jail in order to clear his name.
