In 2018, it was reported that a revival of Prison Break was in development, with a potential sixth season. The new season would reportedly feature the return of the main characters, including Wentworth Miller (Michael Scofield) and Dominic Purcell (Lincoln Burrows).

Never say never in Hollywood. With the rise of streaming services and the popularity of legacy sequels, networks love a revival.

The original series ended with Michael sacrificing himself. The revival revealed he was alive but imprisoned. Season 5 ended with the brothers finally exonerated, Michael reunited with his family, and the "Prison Break" tension fully resolved.
