Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell are reprising their roles of Michael and Lincoln in the season five of the show.
It will begin airing in India from April 8 on on Star World and Star World HD.
"From my perspective, what I understand is that Paul Scheuring (the creator of the show) had a great idea to kind of bring it back, bring it back in a way that the fans would enjoy. And I think that was the genesis, or the seed that started the process," Wilmott said in a statement.
"And I suppose we should not tell anybody that he's alive, but I think it's pretty obvious that Wentworth Miller's in it."
When asked whether fans will finally have a closure about Michael, Wilmott said the new season is similar to the first season as it has the same elements that made fans fall in love with the story.
Wilmott said though he and Horowitz were surprised to see its fan base and they are confident that they will come back for the new story.
"You know, the interesting thing for me, being new to it, because Mike and I were not involved in the original iterations, the first four seasons, I'm astonished by the fan base and how big it is.
