Scofield devises an elaborate plan to help his brother escape prison and clear his name. The first season received mostly positive reviews from critics with universal acclaim from audiences. The success of the series has inspired short videos for mobile phones, several official tie-ins in print and on the Internet, and a video game. In the United States, all five seasons have been released on DVD and released on Blu-ray internationally. A nine-episode fifth season was announced by Fox in January 2016, and premiered on April 4, 2017. In January 2018, Fox confirmed that season 6 was in early development; however, in August 2019, Fox announced that they have no current plans to revive Prison Break, while Miller said in November 2020 he has no plans on returning to the series. A spin-off series, Prison Break: Proof of Innocence, was produced exclusively for mobile phone. It won the 2005 Golden Globe Award for Best Television Series Drama and the 2006 People’s Choice Award for Favorite New TV Drama, which it won. The second season begins eight hours after the escape, focusing mainly on the eight escapees after the second season. The fourth season of Prison Break returned from its mid-season break in a new timeslot on April 17, 2009, for the series’ last six episodes.
Two additional episodes, titled \”The Old Ball and Chain\” and \”Free\” were produced, and were later transformed into a standalone feature, titled The Final Break. The events of this feature take place before the last scene of the show’s series finale, and are intended to conclude unfinished plotlines. The season performed exceptionally in the ratings. The season was originally planned for a 13-episode run, but was extended to include an extra nine episodes due to its popularity. The following seasons, however, received generally positive-to-mixed reviews, with some critics claiming the show had overstayed its welcome. In the U.S., the show has spawned an official magazine and a tie-in novel. In Europe, it has spawned a magazine and an official novel, as well as an official video game and a mobile phone app. It has also inspired a number of spin-offs, including a game, a reality show, a movie, and an animated series. It was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award in 2006, and for a Golden Globe award in 2005, as the best drama series in 2005. The show was originally turned down by Fox, which was concerned about the long-term prospects of such a series, but Fox decided to back production in 2004. In 2005, the first season was produced by Adelstein-Parouse Productions, in association with Original Film and 20th Century Fox Television and syndicated by 20th Television.
