Paul Scheuring tells THR that he’s open to another season, “but only if we can find a story that’s going to knock your socks off.”

At long last, the odyssey of Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller) is at an end.

The Prison Break limited series event drew to its conclusion with Tuesday’s season finale, which ended with Michael finally reunited with his family. It wasn’t an easy task, of course, involving seven years away from his wife Sara (Sarah Wayne Callies) and their son, the whole world believing him dead. But thanks to some long-game planning, a mobile frame job and even a murder or two, Michael is finally free for the first time in years — though even then, freedom comes at a price.

“Michael’s home but I don’t know if he’s at peace,” Wentworth Miller told The Hollywood Reporter about the season finale. “He’s been living a nightmare, for years, and now he’s back — back from the dead. He’s reunited with his loved ones, but I think he would be haunted for a long time. I think there’d be paranoia, insomnia, anxiety… maybe a lingering taste for darker things, illegal things. If there are new stories to tell, we could probably start there: with Michael’s not-so-smooth re-entry into civilian life.”

Well, that might be the end of Prison Break. We rightfully thought that same thing eight years ago, considering you know, the main character died and all. But yet, here we are. And if this was the last we’ve seen of Michael, Lincoln, Sara, Sucre, T-Bag, and C-Note, then they went out on a high note, at least compared to season 5’s earlier episodes.

When a revival doesn’t live up to expectations, many wonder if it was worth doing or if the show’s legacy has been damaged. I would say, “Who cares?” Yes, this fifth season didn’t come close to the epic first season or exhilarating second season, but I would contest it was at least better than the dreadful third season in Sona and probably on par with the Ocean’s Eleven-style reboot of season 4. Whether you view this new installment as a disappointment or a competent follow-up, it doesn’t take away from the previous iteration.

Did I love this Prison Break? No. Am I glad it exists? Hell yeah. As a fan of the original, why wouldn’t I want to hear Sucre call Michael “Papi” again or see the brothers back together or continue to be conflicted over loving the detestable T-Bag? This isn’t an all-time Mount Rushmore series like Lost or The Sopranos. It’s Prison Break. So if they want to make a nonsensical limited series every few years, then count me in. Just two conditions: Come up with better villain names (see A&W, Van Gogh, Cyclops) and more Sucre.

Michael Scofield was finally able to take down Poseidon during the Prison Break finale — but not without some losses.

While it appeared that both Michael (Wentworth Miller) and Lincoln (Dominic Purcell) had perished in the penultimate, the brothers survived with a little ingenuity.

First, we learned that though Jacob (Mark Feuerstein) initially went rogue to help the country by cutting through the red tape, the Yemen mission was purely to get Michael out of the way so Jacob could keep Sara (Sarah Wayne Callies) all to himself. While Sara was able to sway Poseidon henchman Van Gogh against Jacob, A&W shot him in retaliation — that’s who was shot in the penultimate.

Warning: Spoiler alert! Do not proceed if you haven’t watched Tuesday’s season finale of Prison Break.

Did Michael Scofield get his happily ever after?

At the end of Tuesday’s Prison Break finale, Michael (Wentworth Miller) revealed to his archnemesis, Jacob (Mark Feuerstein), that he has always been the one calling the shots — successfully reframing Jacob for the murder he committed and originally framed Michael for.

It all worked out in the end, of course, with Michael reuniting with his love, Sara (Sarah Wayne Callies), and their son, Mike (Christian Michael Cooper), finally free of the shackles of prison. But did they finally achieve their happy ending — one that has been years in the making?

This one is gonna hurt, folks.

Just when you thought you couldn’t hold Prison Break‘s Jacob (played by Mark Feuerstein) in lower esteem, this exclusive sneak peek from the Fox revival’s finale (airing Tuesday at 9/8c) shows “Poseidon” hitting a new nadir, whilst fielding a call from Michael (Wentworth Miller).

* The hour opens with a bit of a “rewind,” giving us better context for what was happening in the minutes leading up to the gunshot/blood splatter that closed last week’s episode.
* Michael has two extremely crafty tricks up (or on) his sleeve, one of which had me shouting, “No [expletive] way!” at the TV — and yet in retrospect he basically warned Jacob about it in one of their years-ago flashbacks.
* You’ll never guess what the jar of blood that Whip found tied to the Lake Michigan buoy is for.
* The Elvis-worshipping Southerner to whom Michael sent the screen grab of his opened palms? And who hasn’t been seen much of since? Instrumental.
* The season closes with a sequence that you might see coming, but is nonetheless awesome.

Fox Home Entertainment has dated the Prison Break Event Series Blu-ray and DVD for June 27th.

The same day will also deliver the Prison Break Collector’s Set Blu-ray that includes all five seasons of the Fox drama starring Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell.

Fox produced a single appropriate bonus feature for the Prison Break Event Series Blu-ray and DVD release. It is titled ‘A Return Home: The Making of Prison Break Event Series.’

That bonus feature plus all the previously released bonus features from the first four seasons of Prison Break will be included in the Prison Break Collector’s Set.

You can currently pre-order the Prison Break Event Series Blu-ray for under $20 at Amazon. Pricing for the Prison Break Collector’s Set has yet to be revealed.

“Although he was buried seven years ago, pictures from a Yemen prison reveal that Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller) may still be alive, which sends shock waves through everyone he knows. Determined to rescue his brother, Lincoln (Dominic Purcell) enlists C-Note’s (Rockmond Dunbar) help. Meanwhile, Michael’s wife Sara (Sarah Wayne Callies) has remarried. And even if this biggest break-out yet is possible, is Michael the same man he was? Also starring Robert Knepper and Amaury Nolasco, this action-packed series has more plot twists than ever. Catch all nine explosive episodes here, along with a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the event series.”

In the words of the great DJ Khaled, “Congratulations Michael, you played yourself.”

The penultimate episode of the Prison Break revival featured the impossible: Mr. Always Has a Plan got outplanned. The cool and calculated genius, who is seemingly always five steps ahead, let his emotions get the best of him, leaving him so vulnerable that he talked himself into thinking a kid however-old-MJ-is years old could plant an incredibly sophisticated map inside a child’s drawing. I mean, the kid is weirdly obsessed with Greek heroes, but c’mon!

“Progeny” ratcheted up the already blazing pace of the fifth season, packing multiple episodes’ worth of events and travel into one installment. The result was a mixed bag, feeling both rushed and exactly what we’ve been waiting for. Having the boys back stateside working together to rescue Sara is a much better use of this revival than the characters being separately scattered around the world. Plus, T-Bag is back, and there’s a T-Bag Jr.!

While the episode may end somewhere in upstate New York, the eighth episode begins somewhere in the Mediterranean. Michael, Lincoln, Whip, and Sucre survived last week’s nosedive into the water to avoid being blown to smithereens, and they’ve managed to be rescued by a fishing boat that is taking them to Marseille. First Greece, now France — this has been a pretty solid vacay.
