Fans everywhere were thrilled when Prison Break came back seven long years after its initial cancellation. Of course, we all wondered how they could possibly top previous seasons where the boys escaped from Fox River and then from a Panamanian prison. Well, their escape from a prison in Yemen is just as exciting, if not more. The boys of Prison Break are back and they’re better than ever.
So, when [not if] Prison Break Season 6 arrives, what would all of us fans really like to see? Well, here are a few story ideas:
1. Bring Back Mahone
We miss him. Sure, he’s doing “Mom” right now but we’d still like to see him come back for Prison Break Season 6. He was an integral character in previous seasons and William Fichtner is a great actor. Besides, we also love the way the magic of television can turn a bad guy into a good guy almost overnight. The writers, director, and Mr. Fichtner made us believe that he was a murderous drug-addicted FBI agent and then turned the tables on us and made it a matter of protecting his family. Beautiful!
2. Bring Back Whip
We loved the twist last season of T-Bag having a son. In fact, the kid even looked like him. Here’s another character who went from bad to good in a blink of the eye. OK, we saw Whip get shot and die on the floor but hey, this is TV, they can bring anybody back with just a somewhat plausible back-story about their death. He was an interesting character and the dynamic between bad-Dad and good-Son was great. The adventures of big and little Tea-Bag could be a lot of fun for Prison Break Season 6.
3. Peace & Happiness for Michael, Sarah & Mike
Even if it’s only temporary, and we know it has to be because, after all, this is Prison Break, right? We would just like to see the three of them have a few blissful days and nights of happy family time together. Is that too much to ask? Perhaps but oh well, it could happen. These three have been through so much in past seasons that they deserve it.
4. Give Linc and Sheba a Chance at Love
In Prison Break Season 6, we would love to see them get together on a more permanent basis. She’s so sweet yet so bad-ass. We just love her. And, the two of them together is a marriage made in heaven. Both of them also deserve some happiness and a chance to get to know each other better without bombs going off around them.
5. More Action & More of Michael’s Brilliant Mind
Last but not least, we would love to see some more in-depth explanations of Michael’s tattoos and explore more about how his brilliant mind works. He’s such a complicated mysterious guy and we often want to say, “How’d he do that?” even though, in reality, we love the mystery of it all. And, OK we admit it, we just want to see as much of that non-stop Prison Break action that made the series such a huge hit in the first place. Let’s face it, nobody does action like Prison Break and we’re quite sure that Prison Break Season 6 will be no less action-packed and exciting as the previous seasons. So, all we can say at this point is, “We can’t wait!”

Many good points have been raised here, however with the way television has changed over the years, i.e 8-10 episodes seasons compared to the 22 Prison Break initially aired during seasons 1 & 2. Season 5 conversely, felt too rushed, likely due to little amount of time available for plot development and where I disagree here, is the contention that more action scenes would be desirable. To the contrary, I found that this reprise was clearly lacking in dialogue driven scenes, once an integral part of this show. The writing and characterizations fell flat save for Whip and the Korean. Lincoln and Michael though most important to this show, are not portrayed by particularly gifted actors and thus need gifted co-stars to work with – think William Fichtner and Jodi Lynn Keefe for instance, as well more of T-Bag and Sucre [than the few moments of screen time they had] to make this the thinking person’s show it once was and balance out the overload of gratuitous action scenes repeatedly shown throughout this disappointing season. Do it right, or not at all.
Whip is dead. I thought the lady took Michael’s gun and shot him with it, but I guess that wasn’t the case. I would really like to see a rival of Michael. Someone who can do almost the same stuff as him but in other ways. Michael plays more of the mind games to break out, but in season 1 we see Michael have to right down chemistry formulas to make the tooth paste that eats metal. Why not have the rival an expert in chemistry as well as some of the other things Michael is an expert at, so the only upper hand is Michael’s charisma. Would that be enough to rival a chemistry major as well as mechanical, electrical engineering? I know the perfect rival for this as well, and I think you guys might agree. He goes by the name Michael Rooker. (spoiler for guardians of the galaxy vol.2) He’s dead in all the TV shows and movies he’s done so far and I could see him as a perfect rival in the Prison Break series. I will see him next month at the Colorado Springs comic con so I can ask him if he has any plans for up coming movies or TV shows. The rival never dies in a series but is responsible for a main player’s death but ends up being the good guy later on. It has always been that way in everything, since Professor Moriarty to Sherlock Holmes and “Dragon Ball” Z with Vegeta to the newiest stories, like “Terminator Genesis”, Casey Jones in “Ninja Turtles” and Aidan Gillen who was a rival to best friend in both “King Arthur and the legend of the sword” and “Game of Thrones”. Rivals make a story last so much longer. Give Prison Break a rival and I look forward to Prison Break season 9.
