The actor Dominic Purcell from his Instagram profile rekindles the hopes of fans: Prison Break will return with a new season
Prison Break is among the most beloved TV series of the early 2000s, especially in the United States where it won a large audience of fans. It was launched in 2005 and after a break that lasted a few years, it was revived in 2017 with the fifth season, which was set a full 7 years after the events of the previous chapter.
Since then, the production has not given any more news. However, the story of Prison Break did not really end and this gave several hopes to fans who have been waiting for a final season for years. The rumors about a possible sixth season of the show have been confirmed by Dominic Purcell, the interpreter of Lincoln Burrows in the famous prison drama. The actor has published an ironic post on his Instagram profile that leaves little room for doubt: the sixth season will definitely be done, although it is not yet known when. After all, Netflix and other similar platforms are desperately looking for content to distribute.
Prison Break plot: what it’s about
Because it’s an old TV series, many people don’t know exactly the events that made it famous. The show aired from 2005 to 2009 to return in 2017. In 2018, Fox had stated that they were working on the sixth season, but then released no further news for the next two years.
Prison Break begins with the story of a man, Lincoln Burrows (played by Dominic Purcell), who is sentenced to death because he is accused of murdering a wealthy Washington tycoon. However, the man proclaims his innocence and is convinced that he was framed. No one believes him, except for his brother Michael Scofield (played by Wentworth Miller), who designs a plan to break him out of prison. To implement the plan, however, he must be himself locked up in prison, for this reason he fakes a bank robbery. From this incipit develops the story of the two brothers engaged in the escape from prison.
The story is very exciting because it involves several other characters who will help them in their intent, but also who will put a spoke in the wheels. The TV series has therefore reached a fifth season without actually concluding the narrative events. The genre is not very classifiable, precisely because of the variety of topics covered: it goes from action to thriller, up to the drama.
Prison Break news: the post of the actor
Dominic Purcell on September 22 published a post that has rekindled the hopes of fans. He shows himself in front of the camera as he is today, with a half smile and announces a series of rumors about his life: “Rumor #1: I’m old, I’m 50. Rumor #2: Not just bald. Rumor #3: Prison Break 6 will happen, yes. Rumor #4: Do I love humans? No, not at all.”
That brief mention of the TV series caused an immediate word of mouth among the audience, who flocked to ask questions in the comments of the content.
