There will be no more 24: Legacy or Prison Break on Fox in the immediate future, execs announced today, though there may be a chance of escape to another revival eventually for the latter.
There are “no plans rights now” for more of the Wentworth Miller– and Dominic Purcell-led Prison Break after its latest event series revival, Fox co-chairman and CEO Gary Newman said today. However, the exec didn’t shut the door entirely on more Prison Break. Declaring “we loved this season,” Newman suggested that if producers of the Paul Scheuring-created action drama “come back” with an idea for a new installment down the line, the network could be open to it.
Saying that more Prison Break, which ended its original four-season run in 2009, would be “seriously considered,” co-chairman and CEO Dana Walden added, “we want to make it special.”
Brought back April 4 for a nine-episode run of what is ostensibly a fifth season, Prison Break has been so-so in Live+Same Day ratings for Fox but a solid performer in delayed viewing.
