So will Michael prevail or will Jacob somehow still come out on top? Michael faces an epic showdown with the villainous Jacob and as always it seems like just when Michael was about to lose, he has yet another trick up his sleeve. No matter what happens, fans will definitely want to tune in for the Season 5 finale.
Still, nothing has really been confirmed yet, so this may be the end of the road for this popular jail break series or it could be the start of a whole new era for the show. Either way, more Prison Break is better than no Prison Break, right? So it looks like Prison Break may get more of a miniseries treatment again in the future, rather than continuous, ongoing seasons. Instead, FOX and the producers would "want to make it special," which may come in the form of intermittent encores. Walden also said that the show may continue on, but not as an every season series. However, fans shouldn't get their hopes up that a Season 6 would be coming anytime soon. During the Fox Upfronts earlier this month, FOX Television Group CEO Dana Walden stated that they'd "definitely consider doing more episodes." She went on to add that: "I know are thinking about it." Hmm, interesting. However, the idea hasn't been totally ruled out just yet. Since the miniseries wasn't meant to be a full-on reboot of the show, it'd be surprising if it does continue with a sixth season after this. In the film, Michael "died," but obviously in the new revival it was revealed that he was in fact somehow alive.
The fifth season was actually meant to be a one-off miniseries, nine-episode event, that takes place seven years after the straight to DVD film Prison Break: The Final Break. I understand this is disappointing, Wentworth Miller said of new Prison Break episodes. Right now, the show's fate is very much up in the air. If you were a fan of the show, hoping for additional seasons.
As Season 5 comes to a close, fans can't help but wonder if Prison Break will return for Season 6. The fourth season of the popular series ended back in 2009, which is why fans were very excited to learn brothers Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller) and Lincoln Burrows (Dominic Purcell) were returning for a fifth season this year. That the new episodes were still in the very early stages of development. Then two months later, Fox’s then-CEO Dana Walden has confirmed. These days it seems like a lot of shows are getting a second life and Prison Break is no exception. The Prison Break season 6 release date: When would episode 1 air In the year March 2018, Paul Scheuring announced that he would complete the script.
