Prison Break 2025: Season 6
Prison Break 2025: Season 6
As of today, March 20, 2025, there is no confirmed “Prison Break: Season 6” movie or series in development. While rumors and speculation about a sixth season have circulated for years, official sources have consistently denied the existence of such a project. Below is a detailed explanation based on the most recent information available.
Background on Prison Break and Season 6 Rumors
The original Prison Break series aired from 2005 to 2009, spanning four seasons and concluding with a final movie titled Prison Break: The Final Break. In January 2016, Fox revived the show for a fifth season, which aired in 2017. This season followed Michael Scofield’s return after being presumed dead and focused on his escape from Yemen. However, while fans were excited about the revival, critical reception was mixed, with many feeling that the story recycled old plotlines and lacked the originality of earlier seasons.
In January 2018, Fox announced plans for a sixth season. However, by August 2019, these plans were officially canceled due to creative challenges and lack of momentum. Wentworth Miller (Michael Scofield) later confirmed in late 2020 that he had no intention of returning to the series because he wanted to step away from playing straight male characters. Dominic Purcell (Lincoln Burrows) also expressed uncertainty about continuing without Miller’s involvement.
Current Status of Season 6
Despite occasional rumors fueled by fan speculation or unofficial social media posts (e.g., claims of Netflix producing Prison Break: Season 6), no credible evidence supports these claims. Recent reports confirm that Hulu is developing a Prison Break reboot set in the same universe as the original series but featuring an entirely new cast and storyline. This reboot will not include Michael Scofield or Lincoln Burrows as characters.
Additionally, Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell are currently involved in other projects like Snatchback, which allows them to explore new stories outside the constraints of Prison Break. Given their focus on these ventures and their public statements distancing themselves from further involvement with Prison Break, it is highly unlikely that they would reprise their roles for any future continuation.
Conclusion
There is no official confirmation or development of “Prison Break: Season 6” as either a movie or TV series in 2025. Instead, fans can look forward to Hulu’s reboot project featuring new characters and settings within the same universe as the original show.
