In 2020, lead actor Wentworth Miller announced he was officially done with the series, stating he no longer wished to play straight characters.

To put it simply:

While we may never get a Season 15, the legacy of Michael Scofield’s tattoos and Lincoln Burrows’ narrow escapes remains a high-water mark for high-stakes TV.

The show originally ran for four seasons from 2005 to 2009, followed by a standalone television movie, The Final Break . After an eight-year hiatus, it returned for a fifth season (the "Event Series") in 2017. Since then, there have been no additional seasons produced.

Occasionally, international streaming platforms or bootleg sites mislabel seasons (e.g., splitting Season 1 into multiple parts).

In late 2023, reports surfaced that a Prison Break reboot is in early development at Hulu. However, this is expected to be a new story set within the same universe rather than a continuation of the original brothers' journey. Why You See "Verified" Season 15 Links
