Prison Break creator Paul Scheuring has suggested that the Season 5 revival will be a one-and-done event, ruling out a sixth season, per EW:
“On some level, that break that we had of six-to-seven years in real life allowed Wentworth to appreciate what he had with Michael Scofield. He said he wanted to inhabit it for a few more episodes. I said, ‘Look, nobody wants to revive this thing for multiple seasons and that whole long slog, but if we can tell a concise, closed-ended story in nine or ten episodes, I’d be amenable to that.’”
However, it’s already been stated that while the Prison Break revival is viewed as a one-time event, it could return for Season 6 if the demand is there.
In other words, Prison Break‘s event series revival format will be much the same as 24 and The X-Files, allowing for the possibility of future seasons without necessarily committing to continuation.
For the reaper, if Season 6 doesn’t arrive, Prison Break will still get the ‘cancellation’ treatment.
Stay tuned as we continue to monitor the status of Prison Break Season 6…
