Never watched a single episode of this show. I would have to watch the entire series and then this. It probably will never happen.

I never watched it because I had other shows on my plate and I was still coaching youth basketball at the time. Not enough time. By the time I was able to watch it, many of my friends said the show sucked after Season 2 so figured why bother.

Oh, it did get worse and worse! And that is the only reason I kept watching!

That's hilarious we just watched Escape From Alcatraz with Eastwood last night and we were joking about Prison Break when watching it.

Started off good but just got so preposterous we lost interest and never finished the original series let alone the newer show.

How do those two actors (and I use that term very loosely) still have jobs in Hollywood? Amazing.

I am pretty sure they hired Sarah Wayne Callies just to make the rest of the cast look better.

Wentworth Miller Won't Be Reprising Prison Break Role: 'I Just Don't Want to Play Straight Characters'

https://people.com/tv/wentworth-miller-not-reprising-prison-break-role/

Wentworth Miller has no plans to revisit Prison Break.

The 48-year-old actor addressed a potential sixth season of the beloved Fox series in an Instagram post on Sunday, revealing that he has "officially" stepped down as his role of Michael Scofield because he does not wish to play straight characters anymore.

Prison Break originally aired for four seasons on Fox from 2005 to 2009, followed by a TV film titled The Final Break. In 2016, Fox revived the series for a fifth season, which aired the following year.

The show centered around Michael Scofield (Miller) devising a plan to help his older brother, Lincoln Burrows (Purcell), escape from prison after he was sentenced to death for a crime he did not commit.

In 2018, network president Michael Thorn confirmed that "a new iteration of Prison Break" was in the "very early stages of development," according to TV Line.
