On May 15, 2017, Prison Break was cancelled. There will be no sixth season, for now. Stay tuned for further updates.
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.
