"Prison Break" Season 5 Premiere Date For UK
While the drama has already started in the United States, fans in the United Kingdom need not be disappointed. The Sun reported that they can catch the premiere in their country on Monday, Apr. 10.

UK viewers can tune in to FOX UK, which is the Virgin Channel 157 and the Sky Channel 124. FOX UK can be also accessed by the viewers through NOW TV.

For the uninitiated, the story of "Prison Break"  revolves around two brothers, Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller) and Lincoln Burrows (Dominic Purcell). While Miller was born in Britain and has received a nomination in the Golden Globe Awards ceremony for his role in the FOX drama, Purcell grew up in Sydney, Australia. However, the latter is also of British origin.

Incidentally, Purcell succumbed to severe injuries while he was shooting for "Prison Break" Season 5 in Morocco. An iron bar fell and hit his head badly on the sets.

The actor had to be airlifted and admitted to a hospital. He received emergency treatment to cure his nasal fractures and other injuries thereafter.

The prison drama ended in 2009 after a successful run for four years and made an impressive comeback recently in the United States after a long gap. Fans were excited and took to social media the moment reports related to its revival came up.
