There has been no official release of Prison Break Season 6 in 2024. While Prison Break remains a fan-favorite show, the idea of a sixth season was largely dispelled after Wentworth Miller, who played Michael Scofield, announced in 2020 that he would no longer participate in the series. He cited personal reasons, specifically related to wanting to step away from playing straight characters, which effectively ended any possibility of him returning to the role. This decision also influenced the potential direction of any future seasons  .

Despite this, there were persistent rumors and fan interest about a continuation. The success of Prison Break’s earlier seasons on Netflix in 2023 even renewed conversations about a revival, but it became clear that any future developments would not involve the original storyline or key characters. Instead, Hulu, now under Disney’s ownership, announced plans for a reboot of the series. This new version would be set in the same universe but would feature new characters and a completely different plot. The project is being helmed by Elgin James, co-creator of Mayans M.C., and is currently in development  .

This reboot is not expected to follow the intricate escape plots and character arcs of the previous seasons. Instead, it aims to expand the Prison Break world, introducing new conflicts and perhaps modernizing the theme of wrongful imprisonment in a different setting. However, as of late 2024, there has been no confirmed release date for this reboot, and details regarding the cast or specific plot points remain scarce .

Fans awaiting more Prison Break content will have to look forward to this reboot, but it will likely come without the core elements that defined the original series, such as the intense brotherhood between Michael and Lincoln, and the elaborate prison breaks that were central to its storylines. The reboot has the potential to capture new audiences while giving longtime fans a fresh perspective on the Prison Break universe, albeit with different characters and a modern context.
