Prison Break's Dominic Purcell claims season 6 of the show is happening

From Digital Spy

Prison Break star Dominic Purcell appears to have confirmed that season six of the show is finally happening.

The show's last season aired all the way back in 2017, and talk has been rife ever since of a possible follow-up – including from Purcell himself.

However, the Lincoln Burrows actor has dropped the biggest hint yet that season six is on the way in a new Instagram post today (September 22), where he addressed a number of "rumours".

"Rumor number 1. I'm old. Yes," he jokingly began. "I'm 50.....Rumor number 2. I'm bald. No I have a full head of hair; the people demand I shave it."

However, he then teased fans with the comment: "Rumor number 3, Will season pb 6 happen. Yes.....". Wait, what?

Digital Spy has reached out to Fox for comment.

It comes after a post last month in which the actor teased that he was "hearing #october" in terms of a start date for a possible season six.

Earlier this year, Purcell also addressed talk of another season, telling fans: "I get smashed with 'when is #prisonbreak 6 happening'. What I can promise is this. We are all in agreement that if the story is worthy it will get made.

"Now with the horror of this #virus the calamity of it all drills inside me a new focus a steely resolve with PRISON BREAK 6– I'm very optimistic with #socialdistancing and a fierce adherence to expert opinion on how to beat this catastrophic unprecedented event, we all as one will be victorious over #coronavirus – corporations such as #netflix are desperate for content.

"I won't comment on pb 6 until it is time."

We wonder whether his latest post is that "time"?

Prison Break is available to watch on Amazon Prime Video, while seasons 1-5 are also out on Blu-ray and DVD.
