Prison Break had something of an issue with reversing major character deaths even prior to bringing Michael Scofield back from beyond the veil. Sarah Wayne Callies ( The Walking Dead universe) originally left the show during a contract dispute in season 3, with Lincoln (Dominic Purcell) discovering her character’s severed head in a box. Callies later returned for Prison Break season 4, with her death handwaved away as an elaborate ruse by the villains. While Prison Break was never exactly realistic, the increasing reliance on silly twists gradually turned fans off of the continuing series. Michael’s emotional death in season 4 at least offered some closure in this regard, but Prison Break season 5 even undid that modicum of finality. Prison Break season 5 didn’t offer much in the way of fresh ideas for the central concept either, contriving another convoluted conspiracy to reunite all the main characters again.

The suspension of disbelief required of even the most loyal of audiences looking for hidden messages meant Prison Break season 5 divided critics and alienated fans - with the Prison Break revival series subsequently labeled a mistake. If nothing else, Prison Break season 5 was designed as a concrete ending for the series, reuniting the brothers once and for all. That said, season 5 sets up Prison Break season 6, with Michael being offered a government job to make use of his unique skills.

Star Wentworth Miller also revealed that same year he pitched an endearing silly season 6 idea where the brothers are locked up by their psychotic, previously unrevealed brother Tag and they'd have to relive their past escapes in a new prison. Series creator Paul Scheuring, on the other hand, appears content that Prison Break season 5 is the end of the road for the show.
