FOX has not unveiled new footage or official picture of "Prison Break" revival, but we've now got some new tidbits of the storyline, thanks to Dominic Purcell. The actor, who will reprise his role as Lincoln, has shared details of a scene in the new installment of the drama series while detailing his set injury that left him with a broken nose and a hundred stitches in his head.

Speaking to Deadline, Purcell revealed that the accident happened when he was filming a scene in which his character is going to save his brother Michael (Wentworth Miller), who is thrown in prison in Yemen. "It was just basically me running into this prison to look for my brother, Michael," he said, "I can't reveal too much of the plot, obviously, but there was a reason why I was running in, and a reason why all the guards were running out of the prison."

He continued, "Because basically, the regime in Yemen had collapsed, it was in complete chaos and turmoil, and the gates were open so all the prisoners were released. And I'm running in trying to get through and find Michael, and I can't. But then the iron bar hit me on the head, and apparently, the whole cage then collapsed on me after I hit the ground. But I didn't feel that."

While insisting that he couldn't share too much, the actor did reveal, "The show is taking place in Yemen; we're dealing with ISIS and ISA, and obviously we left off with Michael presumably dead. He wasn't, he ended up working for this organization." He added, "It got to the point where he [Michael] couldn't do it anymore, and they threw him in a jail in Yemen to change his mind. He didn't change his mind, they set him up."

Purcell is set to return to the "Prison Break" set on Monday, June 13. His injuries will be incorporated into one or two of the season's later episodes. The event series is slated for a spring premiere on FOX.
