Prison Break Season 4 - Page 17

Usually when a network orders two additional hours of a series, it's because it's doing well and the network wants to build on the buzz. However, this isn't exactly the case with Prison Break, which is down in the ratings this season. Many have speculated this could be its final season, and now it's looking more likely.

The Hollywood Reporter says that producers have been informed two additional episodes may be filmed this season, and it's assumed those two hours will be used to wrap up the series. What's unclear is when these two episodes, if made, would air – The Reporter says it's looking unlikely that they would air in the spring, due to the low ratings of the show. In fact, it's not clear when the final six episode of Season 4's initial 22-episode will air, as Prison Break goes on hiatus when 24 Returns.

The Reporter says it's possible FOX might air the final two episodes as a TV-Movie event next fall, akin to their upcoming 24: Redemption special. They also say the episodes might end up debuting on DVD.

Personally, I think that for fans of Prison Break, it's probably nice to hear that a network is for once working with producers to figure out a way to properly wrap up a series - rather than the scenario we've seen many times before when a season ends and only then is everyone told a series won't be coming back, without any closure for the characters or storyline.
