Telly’s Take
In 2009, FOX cancelled its Prison Break TV show after four seasons. Now the network is bringing back the crime drama thriller as a “limited event” series. While an ending has been crafted for the fifth season of Prison Break, the writers have said if this installment is a ratings success, there could be future seasons. With declining ratings, another round is looking more and more like a long-shot. Subscribe for free alerts about any Prison Break cancellation and renewal news.

Brenda
I think they should renew season 6 this time add more episodes
More episodes should be added , only 9 episodes are not sufficient for the fans of this show. We want a 6th season with the amazing Wenty…
Best action drama on TV, beats 24 Legacy, has an outstanding cast, social media love it. PLEASE RENEW FOR SEASON 6!
I hope they renew this, based on the episodes already viewed. It appears to be well written, but does have a few gaps they easily jumped over.
I think this version could easily run another 4 seasons plus, with the right group of writers and producers
Awesome show
Pls renew prison break awesome show
A lot of people dont use cable anymore. You have to consider those people who watch on hulu etc
season 6 !
