canceled + renewed TV shows - TV Series Finale

   

Prison Break: Cancelled; FOX Event Series Not Returning for 2017-18

by Cindy McLennan, May 15, 2017

Prison Break TV show on FOX: canceled, no season 6 (canceled or renewed?)

(FOX © 2017)

It’s 2009 all over again. The Prison Break TV show has been cancelled by FOX. Again. Although the network revived the crime drama for a limited fifth season, there will be no season six, at least not in the near future. FOX CEO Gary Newman did tell Deadline the network is open to future installments, however. Newman noted that, if the producers “came back” with an idea for another season down the line, the network could be open to it.  

An action thriller, Prison Break stars Wentworth Miller, Dominic Purcell, Sarah Wayne Callies, Mark Feuerstein, Amaury Nolasco, Robert Knepper, Rockmond Dunbar, Paul Adelstein, Augustus Prew, Rick Yune, and Inbar Lavi.  

The FOX TV series revolves around Michael Scofield (Miller), who vowed to help his brother Lincoln Burrows (Purcell), escape from death row.

Prison Break: A Look at the Ratings

The fifth season of Prison Break averaged a 1.03 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 2.82 million viewers.  It landed near the middle of the pack, among FOX TV shows where its demo is concerned, and in the lower third, in terms of total audience size.

Although they wrote the revival as a single season story, the writers had said additional seasons were possible. Apparently, the mediocre ratings did not tempt the network to order more for the 2017-18 season.

What do you think? Did you watch the Prison Break TV series revival? Should FOX have cancelled or renewed this TV show for a sixth season?

The fans of Prison Break are world-wide. The exposure for the network and the sponsors is great. The writing is very good but needs to be a little more female friendly. What are you waiting for???

I waited 8 long years for this show to come back on. I was so disappointed that FOX canceled it the first time. And I’m upset yet again, that they canceled a second time! I’m so mad because I really enjoyed this show very much. Go cancel another show that no one watches and put this one back on! I don’t watch many movies or shows, nor do I like many, but this show is the most captivating show I’ve ever watched. It kept me interested and entertained. So bring back this show nowwww!!!

Extremely disappointed it’s not returning again. Really loved the way they brought Michael back from the dead and the overall story line. Didn’t like how rushed the final episode was and was hoping that was because it would be coming back again in 2018. Disappointed in yet another show that Fox killed off too early. Just like they did Gangland several years ago.

Sad that it was not renewed for 2018. Saw some great potential in where they were going with the reboot. All of the old as well as the new characters and storyline were believable. Would have liked to have seen Fox give this show a second chance. I had watched all previous seasons and would have liked to have seen more.
