(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?

Fox is dumb it was and is a great show. Someone should cancel fox.. hope it comes back love it.
fox is the worst about dropping good shows after a short time, build it up, dont waste money… ratings arent accurate at all!! i cant think of a better show other than maybe like empire, it stands up there with the best. if they build it up and advertised better. like i said on my other comment, come with a different angle, something hot and fresh and advertise right. people get pissed when they spend their time getting into a show and these big networks cut them… they have money to waste i guess, and some of the stuff that… Read more »
To be fair this was a mini-series which means it would be one and done unless ratings forced them to bring it back. They did a great job with the story line and I would like to see it return too but felt satisfied with the ending of this series.
this show is one of the best!!!! it needs to come back, if they had another good story line, and advertised it well it would bring the ratings waaayyy up. esp if they ran a lot of things online, everyone loves the scofield/burrow tag team. i think they should do something really original tho instead of michael going to prison have him on the outside getting people out..maybe working for the cia legit overseashaving to get a couple good guy americans out, someone charisthmatic and getting some of the team together to have someone go in. something go wrong and… Read more »
