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?
WTF Fox. A network of serial killers. Can any of my shows survive??? First, 24 Legacy and now Prison Break.
Yes I watch the show I love it so please bring it back
Yes I am watching it but cancelled again noooooo why we love this show please bring it back
It shouldn’t be cancelled…didn’t give it a chance. It’s such a great show!
There are so many people rooting for Prison Break to continue on,including myself. We’ve patiently waited for this new season and now we are all hooked,we all miss prison Break! Look at how loyal your fans are,look at how big of a fan base you have,don’t cancel it again,not yet!
I have enjoyed the present Prison Break. I hope that Netflix picks it up like it did with Longmire.
Prison break the best series i ever watched. ……
We wd like to watch season six too
Pick up a season 6, my family and I love the show. We have rewatching season 1-4 a number of times.
Worst Decision ever. Prison Break is the best show out there.
I’m so disappointed that they are canceling this show I have been waiting years for prison break to come back and the ratings are ridiculous because not everyone,like me, has cable and can only watch it online and they don’t count that as ratings. I am very very disappointed and sad at how many great shows are being cancelled this year and prison break is an amazing show I can’t get enough of it
RETURN SHOW– keep it ON GREAT SHOW…. better than rest **** on FOX
I love this show, characters are iconic. But I feel it is only getting started!!! They haven’t given it a chance!
Would love another season!! They have not given the show a chance!
I liked the new prison break, was about time they brought it back.
THE best show on TV. I think it is better than ever. story lines amazing, and that all the actors came back was a testament. I wait all week for this show and have save them all on my DVR. what is wrong with FOX? it is an ICONIC series!
