So where can you watch them now?...
Last updated 5th Jan 2022
Did you set yourself up for a Christmas binge of Cult series Prison Break is time? You may want to think about watching the popular show ASAP, as the series (containing 90 episodes) is officially leaving Netflix in January – sob!
It's not all bad news, though, as you will be able to stream all five series of the show on another streaming platform, getting your all important fix of Michael Scofield in all his glory. Find out below where you can now watch all five seasons of Prison Break.
Is Prison Break still on Netflix?
To put it bluntly - no.
Sadly, the show was removed from Netflix in January 2022.
How can I watch Prison Break now?
Fans were saddened to hear that the show was leaving Netflix in January, however it's not all bad news, as you will be able to stream all five seasons of Prison Break on Disney + from 23rd February 2022.
The drama will be joining Disney+ as part of its newest brand Star – a more 'mature' line of content that joins existing brands on the service like Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographic, Disney and Pixar.
The American classic series where Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller) intentionally gets himself sent to prison so he can break out his brother, who is on death row for a crime he didn't commit first aired between 2005, 2009 and 2017.
The show first aired on FOX network in America and starred Wentworth, Dominic Purcell, Amaury Nolasco, Robert Knepper, Sarah Wayne Callies, and Wade Williams.
Rumours of a sixth series of the show have been rife for a while now after Fox Entertainment teased that there could be a new series. However, in November 2021, Wentworth admitted that he was ‘done’ with the franchise.
Speaking on his Instagram story, Wentworth made it clear that he would not be involved with the new series as he doesn’t want to play straight characters anymore.
He wrote: 'I’m out. Of PB. Officially.
'Not because of static on social media (although that has centered the issue). I just don’t want to play straight characters. Their stories have been told (and told).
'I understand this is disappointing. I’m sorry.'
He ended the post saying, 'If you’re hot and bothered because you fell in love with a fictional straight man played by a real gay one…That’s your work. – W.M.'
Prison Break will be available to watch on Netflix until January.
Check out TV shows we wish would make a comeback:
Footballers' Wives
Broadcasting between 2002-2006, Footballers' Wives followed fictional Premier League football club Earls Park, as well as all of the drama from both the players and their fiery wives!
Bad Girls
Set inside a fictional women's prison, Bad Girls aired on ITV between 1996-2006 and featured some very famous faces, including Claire King and Debra Stephenson.
The Bill
First broadcast in 1983, police drama The Bill certainly proved popular, airing until 2010. The show focused on the lives and work of police officers and starred well-known actors such as Trudie Goodwin, Graham Cole and Mark Wingett.
Outnumbered
Although all of the kids from BBC sitcom Outnumbered are now grown up (Tyger Drew-Honey is now 26), we'd love to see a remake of the hilarious programme, which followed the lives of a mother and father who were outnumbered by their three children.
Of course, the mum and dad are now officially a couple in real life!
Don't Try This At Home
Who remembers sitting down in front of the TV on a Saturday night, watching on as Davina McCall helped members of the public take on tough and fearful challenges?
This needs to come back!
Sabrina the Teenage Witch
She was confident, funny, magical AND she had a talking cat. Sabrina made us all want to be a witch!
The show was also rebooted between 2018 and 2020 as a Netflix series called Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.
Ugly Betty
Believe it or not, it's been a massive 16 years since Ugly Betty last aired on our screens! The show, which featured actress America Ferrera, followed a character called Betty Suarez, who despite her lack of 'style', landed a job at a very prestigious fashion magazine.
Where The Heart Is
The British drama, which was filmed in the Yorkshire town of Skelthwaite, proved very popular with viewers between 1997-2006, showcasing the lives of a group of district nurses and their families.
It's a Knockout
It was stupid, it was crazy, but it was certainly fun! It's a Knockout started way back in 1966, but the show made a number of returns on BBC, Channel 4 and Channel 5!
The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
We'd love to see Will Smith get back into his character alongside Carlton Banks, however we got the next best thing earlier this year, with the Fresh Prince reboot called Bel Air, which was released earlier this year where Jabari Banks played Will Smith.
Stars In Their Eyes
A true classic! Stars In Their Eyes, originally hosted by Leslie Crowther, first aired in 1990 with Matthew Kelly taking over in 1993. The show did make a return with Harry Hill in 2015, but it didn't quite take off!
The Queen's Nose
Who would have thought that rubbing a 50p coin would be so interesting? We used to love watching the adventures of Harmony as she used up her magic wishes.
Gossip Girl
Although the show was given a reboot in 2021 with a brand new cast, it didn't live up to expectations of the original series, which aired between 2007-2012.
Fun House
We used to love watching two schools battle each other in three rounds of madness. Bring back the gunge and Pat Sharp's crazy hairstyles!
Grange Hill
Despite being at school all day, we loved to come home and watch other people be at school. Strange. But gripping story lines and relatable characters had us glued to our screens.
London's Burning
Airing between 1988 and 2002, London's Burning documented the lives of a fictional London Fire Brigade Blue Watch at the fictional Blackwall fire station.
The Big Bang Theory
The Big Bang Theory was on TV from 2007 until 2019. The show centred around two physicists who shared an apartment, Johnny Galecki as Leonard Hofstadter and Jim Parsons as Sheldon Cooper, and their friendship with Penny, played by Kaley Cuoco, who lived opposite.
Game of Thrones
Game of Thrones lasted for eight seasons between 2011 – 2019. The show starred Sean Bean as Eddard 'Ned' Stark and Kit Harington as Jon Snow.
House of Dragons is the new prequel but we really wish we'd have gotten more (or another ending) to the original Game of Thrones TV show. Who knows, maybe when the last book is out they might make some more episodes…
