Prison Break Cancelled By FOX – No Season 6

May 15, 2017 by RenewCancelTV 25 Comments

Prison Break Sequel Season 6

FOX has cancelled Prison Break – for now at least. With ratings for the fifth season revival not good enough to lock an instant Season 6 renewal, network chief Dana Walden says the show might return again at some point, though – as things stand – not for the 2017-18 season:

We would definitely consider doing more episodes of Prison Break. I know they’re thinking about it. It’s definitely not something we want to do every season, we want to make it special. We actually love this season.”

It may not be permanent death for Prison Break, but with no firm plans to return next season (or even the season after), it can’t languish in limbo forever. Stay tuned to find out if there really is another escape attempt in years to come…

RIP.

RIP

    Don’t dare cancel this show, every one in Uganda is talking about it, thousands have restarted watching it from season 1, and many movie libraries are making lots of money..
    It’s the best selling serie at the moment,

    An extremelly well made revival. I don’t know the real reason of cancelling but I’m gonna give to this series a big thumps up.
    All film characters are my heroes. The brothers,Sucre,T-Bag
    The producers seem not to get the big picture. The big picture is that this series has fans from all around the world, It’s a family and you don’t mess with that.
    This series is family to me too and feel sad that I’m gonna have to wait again for a new brilliant season. .
    This series has a strong foundation that can’t be beat by others.
    Bring it back as soon as possible please.

    I hope Fox is learning that reviving long dead shows is NOT a good path to take. This should never have revived. Let the dead stay dead.

        This comment makes no sense. If one likes the series in the first place,

        it stands to reason that a continuation is in order.

    I was always supposed to be a 9 episode mini-series to get closure to the characters. That’s why there’s so many Odyssey references. Ogygia, Ithaca, Phaeacia, Cyclops…

      That’s brilliant observation Maynard. All tv series begin with high hopes ,Prison Break was supposed to be a one season tv serie and look where it has arrived.
      This season in my opinion is very satisfying. Ratings drop and public disinterest can be the official reason for cancellation but often times there are other things at stake such as different agendas and opinions by the executives.

    Wtf! What a tease! You bring the show back for one season and that’s it! No wonder why I never watch any shows on Fox.

    Bringing it back in the middle of the year when people are already attached to other shows was not fair. This is a really good show with an excellent cast. Being older, I am not into the animated shows. I like a good drama with some action and suspense. Prison Break fit that bill. I am also disappointed about Rosewood which is one of the nicest shows on TV. Likable characters and a nice plot line. I guess older fans don’t count any more. Fox just lost me for 2 hours. By the way, the 24 reboot was not good because they brought in different characters. That I can understand.

    Was never so excited as when I heard this was coming back as it was one of my favourite shows. I’m only going to watch the 1st ep this weekend as it’s only started airing in Australia this week. I’m planning on watching it as it airs here to try and drag it out as long as possible. Seeing as there’s only 9 episodes, I want to make it last and savour it. (I’ll be watching it with my Michael and Lincoln 12″ dolls). I was so hoping it would do well and be back for more than the one extra season. I’m so disappointed the US people haven’t gotten behind it, since at the end of the day it doesn’t matter what I think here in Australia, it’s only the US ratings that count(:

    Why bother saying it is/was a great show. I was so glad to hear it was coming back on tv. It started off great. Action right from the start, and all the regular characters WOW…….just loved it. So it figures – to be cancelled. One day you might get it right, but I doubt it.

    Ugh! You people make me sick!!! Prison Break is/was such a great show!! I was probably one of the most excited people when I found out it was coming back!! Ieading up to its premiere I rewatched every episode from previous seasons & was so bummed out that they kept changing the premiere date!! To accommodate other new shows that you ended up canceling anyway after 1 season!! Perhaps that’s why it’s numbers weren’t great!! People gave up because it kept getting pushed back!!

    It must be nice to be a Jew like Sheuring who has enough money and opportunity to be able to pass up a series like Prison break. He said he don’t want to. It makes sense why he has no ideas for a new season because he stole the idea of the series to begin with and got sued for it period when you steal that means it wasn’t​ your thought process or ideas. I guess being a Jew has its benefits to where you can pass up glamorous jobs that normal people would kill for, cuz you got Connections. They don’t create, only infiltrate. No talent

    I’m not sure I believe the show has been cancelled considering it was never intended to be anything more than the season that just finished. The main cast are all in other shows with some having had to get permission to do even this one season. A season 6 was mostly just wishful thinking from the fans of the show with some of the actors saying they would consider a season 6 if the producers decided to do it when asked bu the media and fans. So how can something be cancelled that was never planned to happen in the first place. The show has just simply ended. big difference.
