Breaking: Fox cancels 'Prison Break'

Jan 13, 2009, 12:29 PM | by Michael Ausiello

Categories: Prison Break

Stevenkingprisonbreak_lBig news from Fox's portion of winter press tour! The net just announced that Prison Break would be coming to an end this season. Oh, did I say big news? I meant news we all saw coming a mile away.

The final string of episodes will kick off April 17, but exactly how many episodes there will be is an open question. "We've got our remaining batch of four episodes and then there are a couple more we're contemplating," says network prez Kevin Reilly, adding that the four-year old Prison has simply run its course. "The show is played out."

Do you agree? Will you miss it? Looking for more scoop? Check out what Prison Break's exec producer told Lynette Rice exclusively about the series finale (for starters, "There will be deaths'') at EW's Hollywood Insider.

I agree with all the negative comments about whoever is running programming on FOX big mistake taking such a great show off the air

FOXSUCKS Fri, Jun 5, 2009 at 11:36 PM EST

FOX BLOWS!! IT CANCELS ALL THE GOOD SHOWS AND REPLACES THEM WITH CRAP!

irockska Sat, May 30, 2009 at 01:17 PM EST

Fox sucks a big time. They ruined my sleep. one of my gone into depression after seeing what happens to scofield. after delivering 4 wonderfull seasons fox did this to micheal's character. I think big brains in fox studios aren't working anymore. they are running out of strategy to continue. God bless fox.

HIPOFIZA Fri, May 29, 2009 at 04:35 PM EST

JEBO VAM PAS MATER!!!
DOG FU K ED YOUR MOTHER ALL OF YOU IN FOX
u just could not make they lived happily ever after?And what about michael's mother? she lived 60 years with same disease ..... FOX SUCKS!!! but fox is loosing money not me so i dont care !!! FUK YOU!!!

Cor Thu, May 28, 2009 at 02:19 PM EST

I watched EVERY SEASON since the show began and even influencd others who became addicted each week! After seeing what happens to Michael and after watching "THE FINALE BREAK" I can honestly say FOX HAS CUASED ME TO LOSE SLEEP AND LEGITIMATELY CAUSE ME ANXIETY! Like Ive sat up at night since watching the Final and thought "Is there ANY way they'll bring this back" "How will Wentworth Miller EVER play as good of a role even if he is casted again" and honestly parts of me are just confused and agry and in shock that is REALLY did come to an end! But couldnt just have let Michael n Sara be happy together.. Michael definately didnt deserve that after everything.. Especially after we now know that if his mother (Christina) lived to be 40-50 then Michael COULD HAVE found a way to beat his condition! Maybe if enoug of us open LAWSUITS against FOX for pain n suffering they reconsider n bring it back (Hint to FOX: they didnt ACTUALLY SHOW Michael die at any point)

Cor Thu, May 28, 2009 at 02:12 PM EST

FOX has got to be retarded!! NOBODY WILL EVER PLAY AS BRILLIANT OF A ROLE AS MICHAEL!! This show was so suspenseful and addicting! I know AT LEAST 15 people who were just beginning to watch the Series (after hearing many reccomendations) that now are not going to bother! Every episode didnt fail ot leave you pheining for more due to the cliff-hangers!
And as others have said its been known since the end of the 1st Season they had 7 Seasons of material! Wy cut it short n kill off someone who was argueably the best character ever created on tv? At least leave a CHANCE so we can at least HOPE it would come back!

Seriously FOX.. U guys need to stop fukkin up! You cancelled "THE OC" prematurely after 4 Seasons only for him to go on to "Gossip Girl" which is great but nothing but an East Coast "OC" and have wide success with that.. You THINK that would have been a red flag when thinkin of ending Prison Break!It EASILY could've went on!

razzy Mon, May 25, 2009 at 12:17 PM EST

oh an...i just watched the final break and i'm all tears....to bad...after 4 yers i just can't believe it's gone:(
another year for Lost and it's all over...man...time flies.

ghada Fri, May 22, 2009 at 03:33 PM EST

we loved the show,,it was family time and prison break....

ken Thu, May 21, 2009 at 04:23 AM EST

the first few seasons were well written. the plot was fresh and imaginative. the script was good. the fourth season was just atrocious. you could tell they were just phoning it in. the same repetitive, predictable plot "twists" and the lines were so bad it was insulting to the good actors they had. i kept thinking, these can't be the same writers! which came first: the writing got bad after the decision to cancel the show or the show got cancelled because the writers forgot how to write???

carol Wed, May 20, 2009 at 04:38 PM EST

So sad...as much as I agree it can only go so far, I kept watching. Loved it and will miss it terrible. What the heck am I going to watch now?

awais Sun, May 17, 2009 at 08:33 AM EST

y did it have to end it was the best tv show ever

NotPublic Sun, May 17, 2009 at 02:19 AM EST

I agree with about half you. The show did run as long as it can. I mean how many times can you get caught and escape? It was a great show, and it will be missed! It would be nice if they made some sort of a spin-off tho. Or maybe even a "childhood" version, kinda like "SmallVille" *shrug*

Anyways great show, will be missed, but it was time for it to be over...
Yes it was a rushed final episode.

Ice44 Sat, May 16, 2009 at 10:01 PM EST

I take it back. I do love Fringe. I wonder how long it will be before they take that one off. American Idol is ok.

Ice44 Sat, May 16, 2009 at 09:58 PM EST

Did not miss one episode. One of the greatest shows ever. I am in my late 40's. House is the only other show I watch on Fox. Stupid shows are coming up like Dolls something. Whatever the stupid name is. Oh well.

Ice44 Sat, May 16, 2009 at 09:57 PM EST

Adam Sat, May 16, 2009 at 04:44 PM EST

It was a GREAT ending to a very good show. Let it go and let the cast move on to other things.

Grannie Annie Sat, May 16, 2009 at 04:00 PM EST

I'm 60+ years old and have never been for violent shows...however, Prison Break had such edge-of-the-seat drama, suspense, & wickedly evil characters (T-bag...so glad he didn't get away or off) that you couldn't wait to see the next show. Good writing guys....but I will miss my weekly treat! Time for it to end....with dignity and what else could Michael get out of? He and Sarah needed some good times before his demise. If he had stayed alive in 20 years the gov. bad guys would have been after him and his brilliant son.

Zdravko Sat, May 16, 2009 at 03:16 PM EST

This is worst end ewer.

amy Sat, May 16, 2009 at 12:17 PM EST

this is crap, this is my favorite show

PB Fan Sat, May 16, 2009 at 09:27 AM EST

I'm currently only dedicated to 3 shows on Fox. Prison Break, 24, and House. Now Fox will only have me watching them for 2 hours. They should have kept Prison Break. What a great show!

GIL Sat, May 16, 2009 at 12:07 AM EST

OH WOW I CNT BELIVE THIS SHOW IS OVER..ONE OF MY FAVE SHOW.

Deggie Fri, May 15, 2009 at 09:17 PM EST

I WILL MISS THIS SHOW SO BADLY, M CRYING AS I WRITE THIS COMMENT OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS, IT IS REALLY OVER.....OMG ...WENTWORTH MILLER I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU DO BUT PLEASE COME BACK WITH ANOTHER SHOW....CUZZ I LOVE YOU...

Deggie Fri, May 15, 2009 at 09:11 PM EST

mat Wed, May 6, 2009 at 08:43 AM EST

nah. prison break was probably one of my favorite shows but its definitely "at the end of its run." just feels like the same crap over and over now. they get caught get away, almost get killed but get away. show was amazing but I think im actually glad theyre ending it here. they saw that they were at the end of their run and arent trying to drag the show on for 10 years. R.I.P. Prison Break. Youll be missed dearly :(

Tom DiGianvittorio Fri, May 1, 2009 at 02:56 PM EST

Because I love this show, I don't agree with Fox but I understand it. There is only so far you can take the story and getting 4 years was a bonus. I hope the ending is a good one.

Wedding Favors Mon, Apr 27, 2009 at 08:17 PM EST

I'll surely miss the Prison Break series.
I have watched most of the series and I think it's great.
Good luck to all of the cast.

Dan Fri, Apr 17, 2009 at 02:01 PM EST

What people don't get is there are def. a lot of people who did not like Prison Break and that's fine everyone has a right to an opinion, but just because it's been "cancelled" at season 4 doesn't mean it was a bad show. I thought this show would only be a three season show at the most. The way the story was setup it couldn't be much more then that. It was never meant to be a 5, 10, 15 season show and it's not being cancelled because it's bad but just because there's nowhere else to go they accomplished what they set out to do, nothing fox could do could of changed this. I think they have been pretty inventive about keeping it going as long as they did so kudos for that at least, and yes this past season has been pretty good but it's gotta end.

Chadd Wed, Apr 15, 2009 at 11:53 AM EST

You guys are pathetic. You don't need to freak out over a show being cancelled, its a television program for Christ's sake.. First, this show sucks anyways. Second, even if it didn't, they are totally out of material. That's what the director said even. Its not FOX's fault, its the studio who produces the show. FOX does suck a lot sometimes, but this isn't their fault.

Ryan Sun, Apr 12, 2009 at 12:52 AM EST

I just saw a promo for the last episodes and went online to see it was canceled. I loved the first season and really have enjoyed this season. Thought 2 and 3 were kind of boring. While I will miss the show I am happy that they didn't keep dragging it on. I think you will see a lot of this cast in movies as well. Looking forward to the end.

Katie Tue, Apr 7, 2009 at 10:41 PM EST

This is an AMAZING show and I can't believe it got cancelled! When shows like ER run for 15 seasons, Smallville runs for 9+...and Prison Break only makes it 4? Something is wrong there. This show deserves another chance. If Fox knew how to market their shows, it would have more viewers, dammit.

shaye Mon, Apr 6, 2009 at 11:40 PM EST

This was an intense and captivating show from the gate. Since the "break out" I'm not sure it's lived up to first season. First season was so well thought out and we got a little taste of what was to come week by week. Very thoughtful from the beginning first episode. I have to say since the second season it's not the end of the world if I miss an episode. The last season started to get good again, the South American prison was too much. I will watch to see if my bros will make away with their freedom and family, what we all desire in this life. I am a sucker for a happy ending, but not a dead give away. Thanks FOX for the entertainment and thanks for 24! I love this show. I just started watching

Heather Sun, Apr 5, 2009 at 09:47 PM EST

wow!!! this totally sux b/c it is the absolute BEST show ever!!! theres no way it can end, i dont kno what to say but FOX SUX!!! i must say it is the only show that has ever kept me on the edge of my seat EVERY SINGLE EPISODE!! best show ever no way u can take that from us!!

Joel wall Thu, Apr 2, 2009 at 07:49 PM EST

Fox has recently demonstrated a great deal of ignorance. I do not watch fox very often the media and owners have consistently demonstrated ther low intelligence level opinions are of education deprived reporters will low Intelligence. Canceling prison break shows how slow in the head or semi retarded executives think.

Ryan Wed, Mar 11, 2009 at 11:11 PM EST

Susana Wed, Mar 11, 2009 at 06:27 PM EST

I can't believe that Fox is cancelling the best show in their network. Fox... you really suck.

Kevin Wed, Mar 11, 2009 at 06:26 PM EST

This is the only show I ever watched in Fox. It really was the best show every season, the excitement never ended from start to end. Well, I guess that that was all the Fox I will ever take.

Bob Mon, Mar 9, 2009 at 06:59 PM EST

Here we go again. Cancell shows and then proceed to spend the money on your crummy news. Its either that or replace this show with anoither reality type show. Fox is the worst.

sasha Wed, Mar 4, 2009 at 01:38 AM EST

i love this show i was so scardy thought it was cancelled thank god its not i hope they can make more and more ive seen almost every season make more please!!!!!!!!

Jean Bodie Sat, Feb 28, 2009 at 11:51 PM EST

Can't the producers use a bit of imagination to take the show in a different direction? None of it is realistic anyhow so we would be quite accepting of something kind of unbelievable.
They could have a pardon for some great job they do for the government and then be hired to do 'jobs' for 24 or something. I mean come on; don't bring it to an end; we love it.

I can't believe it. This was the best show going. How disappointing!!

Leena Sat, Feb 21, 2009 at 09:00 AM EST

The only reason the viewings went down was because 89% of people who were addicted to the fantastic series couldnt watch it anymore because it was put onto Sky and Sky was taken off of all the channel packages. nobody wants to pay extra to sky just to get sky1 and sky2. then sky was put back on the packages halfway through season 4 being shown on tv. i dont think many people want to start watching a series halfway through!

PHX Girl Fri, Feb 20, 2009 at 05:07 PM EST

I will miss my beautiful boys, but it's prolly for the best. How to see them in the movies.
Always & Forever...
Much Luv to Wentworth & Dom.

Looking forward to the end, it needs to be done.

Shows which brag out too long like LOST are just boring now.

I love this show i looked forward to monday for p b poor michael ever show he plays in gets cancel john doe northshore great actor i just hope to see them on a show all the cast was great now i will not watch fox they cancel too many shows, take off some of the stupid shows terminator, house ,bones maybe we could start a petition to keep it on,email fox like crazy to get it on, last year we got jericho put back on for a little while

Lola Fri, Feb 6, 2009 at 10:31 AM EST

Prison Break is the best! It should NOT be cancelled! **** FOX!

Kyle Stevens Tue, Feb 3, 2009 at 09:21 PM EST

wow, my life has hit an alltime low. I chose this show over Heroes, little did i know that heroes would live on and that FOX, the all powerful, would give up on such an amazing show. It has had a great run, it will be missed for sure. Scheuring better be right on with his next series, like he was with this uncomparable, short-lived, phenomenon.

PRISON BREAK BLOWS!!!!!!!! Mon, Feb 2, 2009 at 07:23 PM EST

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

Anurag Mon, Feb 2, 2009 at 02:47 PM EST

prison break has been the only show i watched from start to end. its best it ends at its peak than fade away into ignominy.
Thnx Fox, for such a gr8 show!!

lindsay Sun, Feb 1, 2009 at 09:16 PM EST

Are they serious. What do they expect us to look at on fox now..PB is now staring to get interesting for they have so many ways to play it out now. I guess all other lame fox shows have the priority. I guess were suppose to stare at lame tv shows vs. Hot men on interesting plot filled shows..wow what is life coming too..stupid people, stupid shows that get to stay on tv. Just to make people more stupid.

Lynnette Sun, Feb 1, 2009 at 10:43 AM EST

It's about time. They broke out of one prison then got put in a worse one. Then got blackmailed into doing other nonsense. When does it ever end!! Can these guys just ever live!

amina Sun, Feb 1, 2009 at 10:11 AM EST

omg i already know about that its not fair !!!

Ladylibra Fri, Jan 30, 2009 at 06:20 PM EST

The Final season, BOO! I thought they were just getting started. With bring the idea of Mike & Links mom being alive, and nobody really knowing just what Scilla really is? I must say Boo! There are a few storylines twists and turns this series can become. With keeping us all in the dark with Scilla FOX could give Prison Break a good 5-6 more years. Come on you guys, go for the gold take it to the stars in you have to, make it last.

CRACKTHESHUTTERS Thu, Jan 29, 2009 at 03:24 AM EST

BTW, i heard that FOX did order I THINK a few eps totalling to 26.

CRACKTHESHUTTERS Thu, Jan 29, 2009 at 03:21 AM EST

Well, when I'm watching here (Seven network 10:30pm), i sense that they were running out of ideas, and maybe finishing now is better than producing eps that will be repetitive. it WILL finish strong, and it has been an excellent series, just that it has run its course and its time for someone else to take over.

Dustin James Wed, Jan 28, 2009 at 11:25 AM EST

I love this show; disappointing to see it go. Fox better come up with something that is as high budget as this show was. I'm sick of the low budget shows on TV. Now that we've all tasted the high budget film like TV series.. that is what we expect for TV Producers.

Pati Tue, Jan 27, 2009 at 11:12 AM EST

"We've got out remaining batch of four episodes...says network prez Kevin Reilly."

Ah, what? I thought there was going to be SIX more episode when the show came back. At least that is how Fox promoted it at the end of the winter finale, "Sunshine State" episode. Not to mention that the SIX promised episodes would make the usual 22-episode season. Where as FOUR would only give us a 20-episode season.

This had better not be the case. I mean it's bad enough that my fave show will be going off the air. But to get short-change like that, would be completely NOT FAIR.

Mon, Jan 26, 2009 at 08:30 PM EST

I love Prison Break so much!!! I can not wait until April for the show to return and will be devastated when its over. I think Fox really needs to rethink this one!

Matt Mon, Jan 26, 2009 at 10:45 AM EST

i can't believe it!!!...i had to see it 2 beleive it!!!...Prison Break is my favorite show ever!!...i don't know what everyone is talking about how it should've ended a long time ago!!!...this show is soo exciting & entertaining i'm out of my seat every episode & the writers are great!!...fox sucks!!keep putting all that reality bs on!!!...i hate fox time to boycott them!!.. i mean really you cancelled alot of good shows you even cancelled family guy & then 3 years later brought it back!!!..it just shows that the fox people r f'ing morons!!!...thanks fox!!!...what's next in place of prison break???....let me guess a reality show about some loser guy & some annoying girls to win some kind of money???...fox you suck!!!... maybe another station will pick it up!!!...pleaseeeee!!!!!

josette Sun, Jan 25, 2009 at 09:33 PM EST

I am so diapointed! I love Prison Break! Micheal is smart and sexy. I don't want it to end. It's the only good thing about mondays. I will miss all my favorite charaters. I hope most of them go on to bigger and better things, I think most of the cast are great actors.

SUPERFARIA.com Sat, Jan 24, 2009 at 05:18 AM EST

As always the good things end up, I am sorry for this. I can only wish good luck to all players who participated in this wonderful adventure.

Portuguese:
Como sempre as coisas boas acabam, fico triste por isto. Só me resta desejar boa sorte a todos os actores que participaram nesta maravilhosa aventura.

ana Sat, Jan 24, 2009 at 03:42 AM EST

ahhh, this is a show that I have fallen in love with. It makes me look foward towards monday's. I absolutely love the cast and the great work that they have all done. But if this show is just is going to get dragged, I rather it come to an end and remember it the way it has ended.

Mumbo Sat, Jan 24, 2009 at 01:31 AM EST

This really is the perfect season to end the show with. It was a return to high quality after the mediocre Season 3, so it goes out on a high note, and the whole premise and events of this season have pointed it toward a conclusion that should be satisfying.

It had a great run, I loved almost every minute of this series, and I'm glad to see that it will be ending on a high note rather than being continued for the mere sake of continuing it. Great series and I hope there will be an equally excellent serial series in the fall for me to watch as a replacement.

bell Fri, Jan 23, 2009 at 02:43 AM EST

please dont cancel it at this stage.Prison break 4 life

Joseph Schembri Thu, Jan 22, 2009 at 08:15 AM EST

As they say,
All good things come to an end.

Great show. Hope for a great finale, and to see more work by the same scriptwriters and actors.

Dirty Dave Thu, Jan 22, 2009 at 12:18 AM EST

Prison Break is one of the best shows on TV. I think that the characters should be put to rest, but not all. Make a spin off or have someone else break out of a prison or escape the company. Don't just end a good thing. Your doing what you do with every good show. Build up a large fan base then cancel it. It is BS. Do we really need another reality show, or some sitcom that has already been done 5 times before. I think the writers are way capable of doing something to spin this off to keep the fans attention.

UofAZWildkitty Tue, Jan 20, 2009 at 11:50 PM EST

Poor Sen. McCain!

Johny Tue, Jan 20, 2009 at 11:08 PM EST

Well, I saw this coming. I am just hoping that FOX will give the character a 'rest', a happy ending and a closure. After all the hardwork ... they all kinda deserves it.

mary Tue, Jan 20, 2009 at 06:17 PM EST

we should send out petitions with those origami swans(this time,with their heads cut off) and boycott the sponsors, if FOX cancels, or shuts down poduction on prison break again!!! :((

ALOK RANJAN DAS Tue, Jan 20, 2009 at 06:56 AM EST

Man this sucks...
If they are ending in the fourth season they should probably start a new fresh story after 2 or 3 months,that would be another good thing for all of us,PRISON BREAK FANS.

Mon, Jan 19, 2009 at 09:48 PM EST

Absolut beschissene Entscheiden eine so tolle Serie einzustellen!!

Eine Schande dabei zu sehen was FOX da sonst noch ausstrahlt. Einfach traurig, aber man sieht mal wieder: Geld regiert die Welt ..

Realynn Mon, Jan 19, 2009 at 04:15 PM EST

I think it is good the show is being cancelled. Do not get me wrong, I love it and I have seen every episode of it but I think the story has to come to an end. The characters deserve a happy (hopefully) end and it is time they are put to rest. I do not want the story to be dragged on and on and this way the show would lose its touch and it would just be too much. It was brilliant while it lasted, lets enjoy the rest of the season and remember it as good show. :)

I LOVE PRISON BREAK, keep dragging it out like you have before, but if you start to slip end it.

It's been so great while it lasted! I have enjoyed watching the show from day one: great actors, incredibly creative writing with suspenseful storylines; it was my favourite show. And now that it's run its course I will certainly miss it! I hope that the final episodes will offer a lot of answers and the writers will wrap it all up nicely with a happy ending for Michael, Linc and Sara. I believe they deserve that after all the physical and emotional turmoil they have been through. And viewers deserve it too. So go for it, writers!

I can't believe you are taking away Prison Break. It is just getting into where the brother's mom is alive and hope you will at least let that storyline come to a conclusion before ending the show. First I lost Journeyman which I loved, now this show. Guess I'll have to catch up with Heroes now since I watched Prison Break instead of Heroes as they came on same times in my area. Hope you replace it with something good, not some stupid reality show as I think there are enough of those.

Hey people, i really can't believe that want to stop prision brake tv show. Every season are really amazing, suspensed and I have to watch the missing episodes, so that i get in to the point they want to reach. Is not fair to us. Please dont do that!!!!!!!!

Give the writers a chance to make one more season and wrap up everything at least. There are so many fans of the show and it still holds a large fan base. I do not like sitcoms on TV I have never missed an episode of Prison Break. This was once a show that won an award for outstanding director for best drama or comedy series along with many nominations for Wentworth Miller. Robert Knepper and Amaury Nolasco were nominated for awards too. Great cast! Great show! T-Bag is the man! Don't cancel!

La verdad estoy molesto por que esta serie da para mas unas dos temporadas mas.
No sé por que estarian cancelando esta serie por lo que veo es una de las mejores que tiene FOX y realmente estoy molesto!!!

Prison Break is such a great show. I will miss it. However I am glad that it's ending on a high note and not being dragged on for a few more seasons.

I really truly can't believe this. The show is just getting to a point where they could do so many things with it. Now they have options to make it better than it ever has been. This is really disappointing. Around here the show is very popular. Guess they didn't have 7 seasons of scripts written out like they said they did on disk 1 from season 1. Oh well.

Even the most exciting roller coaster gets boring after you've ridden it 80 times....

A lot of mixed feelings, I guess.
