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?
RECONSIDER. DO NOT CANCEL. GIVE IT A CHANCE.
Noooooooooo we need another season at least.
Don’t cancel!!! We wait anxiously every week to see what happens.
really i love this show not able to watch it most nights but best believe i record it so i can watch when the kids go to bed. and there is so much left to run with as far as a producer would be concerned. please bring it back it is a guaranteed show to pick up ratings, if it would stop being cancelled.
Please don’t cancel again!! I have been waiting a year to watch this show again. It is such a great show. Don’t let us down again!!
It’s getting a bit ridiculous already FOX. This series is an amazing series and everytime its back on, we get hit with another disappointment about it being cancelled again. If you’re open to bringing it back then get some better writers to avoid more cancellations. I love this show but am beginning to hate FOX for the continuous let downs on cancellations of Prison Break. Shame on you FOX
I absolutely watched it and was thrilled to have it back on the air! Now you say they cancelled it again? That thoroughly bites!!! SHAME ON you Fox for getting us “faithful” excited for just another let down!
This show is one of the best shows on TV. Please order more episodes and keep it going. We all love it. Please bring Prison Break back.
Prison break is one of the most exciting drama I have seen in a long time. Canceling it would be tragic!!
You have to give it a chance! After 7 years of not airing, the ratings aren’t going to be great right away! things need time to grow! And the show is doing great! Just give it a damn chance.
Noooo! Prison Break is one a few shows that actually holds my attention and keeps me excited for the next episode.
