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?
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.
It was so good. I’m so disappointed it’s been cancelled, again.
Man I am so mad and angry and disappointed that Fox would cancel Prison Break omg this was an awesome show that kept me on the edge of my seat! How could you cancel a great show like this cancel Lucifer something stupid no one watches!
I loved the show. The cast was outstanding and the storyline great. If it came on again, I would definitely watch every episode. Please consider giving it another try.
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.
Michael’s intelligence turn me on. Not literal though, just in a joking way
Ffs,you must to fixed this up.
It’s one of the greatest serials of de the word and you closed it…
This is a lack of respect..
I absolutely loved the original Prison Break but the revival was not very good. I quit watching half way. Very disappointed!!!
I believe prison break could be another sons of anarchy if the proper writers continue to come up with some outstanding ideas which I have faith they can.. Please bring PrisonBreak back !!!!
