There are pieces of good and bad news for fans waiting for “Prison Break” season 6. The good one is that the project still seems in the pipeline. On the other hand, no one knows yet when it will arrive and what will happen once Michael (Wentworth Miller) and Lincoln (Dominic Purcell) return.
However, this also allows fans to speculate on how the brothers are coming back and what situation will force them to go back to their breaking-out-of-prison activities. It has been two years since the revival miniseries premiered leading to some speculations that “Prison Break” season 6 might feature a plot time skip.
If that actually happens in “Prison Break” season 6, the fans could be seeing a grown-up Michael Jr., who was portrayed by Christian Michael Cooper in season 5. A time jump also makes sense considering that season 5 ended on a very peaceful note for Michael and Lincoln.
Fans may recall that one of Lincoln’s final lines was, “What’s really strange is things actually working out.” They were at a park, and a few feet away from them is Sara (Sarah Wayne Callies) and Michael Jr. along with Sheba (Inbar Lavi) suggesting that both Michael and Lincoln got their happy endings after all.
Meanwhile, nothing is certain yet about the cast of “Prison Break” season 6. Purcell did mention in a previous post that Miller will also return. Showrunner Paul Scheuring hinted at “50-150 chance” chance of Alexander Mahone (William Fichtner) coming back. But other than that, no detail has been announced yet about the season 6 cast.
Considering that things worked out in the end, there is a big chance that “Prison Break” season 6 will return with this happy family together. But for another prison heist to take place, something majorly bad might need to happen to force Lincoln and Michael out of retirement. It will not be surprising if it would involve the ones they love the most such as Michael Jr., Sara, and Sheba.
Just before the Fox and Disney merger was finalized in March, Purcell opened up to fans that the major business deal delayed the project. It possibly means that they have not even started filming yet making a 2019 release date highly impossible at this point.
