Prison Break Returns to Netflix After 7 Years, But…
18 Months and Then It's Gone Again
Prison Break is Back on Netflix After 7 Years
After a seven-year absence, Prison Break has returned to Netflix. The show, which originally aired from 2005 to 2009, follows the story of two brothers, Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller) and Lincoln Burrows (Dominic Purcell), who are both incarcerated in a maximum-security prison. Michael, who is a structural engineer, devises an elaborate plan to escape from prison and exonerate his brother, who has been wrongly convicted of murder.
But There's a Catch
While the return of Prison Break is good news for fans of the show, there is a catch: the show will only be available on Netflix for 18 months. After that, it will be removed from the streaming service.
Why Is Prison Break Only Available for 18 Months?
The reason why Prison Break is only available for 18 months is due to the licensing agreement between Netflix and 20th Century Fox Television, which produces the show. The agreement states that Netflix can only stream the show for a limited period of time. After 18 months, the rights to the show will revert back to 20th Century Fox Television.
What Does This Mean for Fans?
For fans of Prison Break, the news that the show will only be available for 18 months is disappointing. However, there is still hope that the show will be renewed for a sixth season. If the show is renewed, it is likely that it will be available on Netflix for a longer period of time.
