The premise to Prison Break's fourth season is beginning to leak out... SPOILERS! Michael will learn Sara's still alive early on (the head in a box must have been from Madam Tussaud's), before persuading Homeland Security that the nefarious Company exist...
From there, Michael will be given immunity by the government to rescue Sara and destroy The Company with the help of brother Linc, Sucre, Bellick and Mahone. A big part of the season will involve the gang having to break in to a maximum security building where the villains reside, including uberbitch Gretchen. Meanwhile, T-Bag will become relevant because he still has possession of a "vital clue" -- which must be Whistler's bird book...
It all sounds quite interesting, although I'm not sure how it will all fit together -- what with Sucre, Bellick and T-Bag stuck in Sona prison at the end of season 3. And didn't Mahone join forces with baddie Whistler, too? I'm predicting the first half of season 4 will revolve around getting Sucre (and by extension Bellick and T-Bag) out of Sona, before this year's "twist" of breaking in to The Company's HQ becomes the second half focus. But that's just a guess. Where are The Company based if the US government can't just storm in there, though? Hm.
As I mentioned before, I'm still not jazzed about Prison Break's return (not helped by the silly about-turn over Sara's fate), but this show has the uncanny ability to get your pulse racing. It's never been particularly intelligent post-season 1 (as it used up its unique ideas there), but I like the cast and there's something refreshing about a show that isn't pretentious and just wants to entertain. Pure and simple. SPOILERS END!
