Season Four of Prison Break is the fourth season of the show, consisting of 22 episodes that aired from September 1, 2008 to May 15, 2009, with a follow-up TV movie: Prison Break: The Final Break. Sarah Wayne Callies returns as Sara Tancredi, who was previously thought to be dead. The season is about getting revenge on and taking down The Company, and features new characters helping them, and hindering them, in their quest. Homeland Security Agent Donald Self promises Michael, Lincoln, Bellick, Mahone, Sucre, and another criminal named Roland freedom if they collect Scylla - an information source of high value to The Company. Aiding them is Sara Tancredi.
It was the show's final season until the announcement of Season 5.
"Season four is jumping-forward, hit-the-ground-running storytelling. But we are dropping back, in flashback, and explaining how the characters got to where they are and the situation with [Sara], certainly."
