Sarah Wayne Callies is booked for "Prison Break" again. The actress is set to return and reprise her role as Dr. Sara Tancredi on the FOX revival. She will join Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell, who were earlier confirmed to reprise their roles as Michael Scofield and Lincoln Burrows respectively.

While Michael was presumed dead, that's not exactly the case. After Michael's apparent death, Sara has moved on with her life, raising her and Michael's child with her new husband, portrayed by "Royal Pains" star Mark Feuerstein. When clues surface suggesting that Michael may be alive, Sara teams with Lincoln to engineer the series' biggest escape ever.

Fox co-chairman and CEO Gary Newman told reporters at the TCA Winter Press Tour in January, "We all who watched the show and loved it thought that Michael had died. Paul Scheuring came in with a great twist that explains that he didn't die, and what he's been doing in the interim."

Fox Television Group Chairman and CEO Dana Walden dished on the setting, "The story unravels on an international landscape - it's not a domestic [plot.] We open on a very international contemporary-feeling story."

Original showrunner Paul T. Scheuring will pen the script and executive produce the limited event series alongside Neal Moritz, Marty Adelstein and Dawn Olmstead. Filming is expected to begin in late March. The event series is scheduled to premiere during the 2016-17 broadcast season.

After "Prison Break" ended its original run in 2009, Callies landed a series regular role on AMC's hit zombie series "The Walking Dead", but her character was killed off in the third season. She now has a series regular role on "Colony", which was recently renewed for a second season on USA Network.
