The fifth season of Prison Break is a limited event television series and a revival of the original series created by Paul Scheuring that aired on Fox from 2005 to 2009. Let’s recap the show, its history on Netflix and whether and when season 5 of Prison Break will be streaming on Netflix. Prison Break made its long-awaited return in 2017 but will its new season, season 5 come to Netflix Well, that’s a little complicated.

Scheuring tells Hollywood Life there’s a reason why Michael wasn’t in every scene of the Prison Break premiere. “Outis” is Greek for “no man” or “nobody.” If you read The Odyssey back in high school (or the Cliffs Notes), that’s the name Odysseus was using when others thought he was dead. Prison Break creator Paul Scheuring (who tweeted that Episode 2 “is better”) reportedly based Michael’s new name, Kaniel Outis, on Homer’s The Odyssey.

When Michael finally appears on the season premiere, he looks the same as he did when he (supposedly) kicked the bucket on the Season 4 finale (2009).

We’re not going to recap the show for you because that’s what Hulu (or your DVR, if you’re still warming up to the streaming thing) is for. What they didn’t expect was the twist that the show’s creator added that has everyone questioning Michael’s return. The return of Prison Break has everyone talking and if you missed the premiere, you can watch every mind-boggling moment on Hulu.Įven if you watched the Prison Break Season 5 premiere, you’ll want to watch it again because - Michael.ĭie-hard fans of the series assumed Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller) would be a major part of the new season.
