He supposedly died at the end of the Fox drama's fourth season.

But now Wentworth Miller is back as the gritty Michael Scofield in the action-packed Prison Break season five trailer.

In the thrilling clip, which starts with the voiceover 'I died seven years ago,' it seems Scofield has once again gotten himself incarcerated, this time in a war-torn Yemeni prison.

Several scenes from the previous season roll showing Scofield's brother Lincoln Burrows, played by Dominic Purcell, as well as his son, and his wife, played by Sarah Wayne Callies.

Then the ominous T-Bag, played by Robert Knepper, then shows up to Lincoln's house with some new information: 'Looks like your brother might just be alive.'

He reveals a letter than appears to have been sent from somewhere in the middle east.

After some clever decoding of the message via an internet search engine, Lincoln realizes his brother is being held in Ogygia Prison in Yemen.

The next few scenes show the rest of the family contributing to the rescue attempt, though one also shows T-Bag waking up with a robotic, prosthetic hand.
