Transformed and Moving On: Dominic Purcell Says 'No' to Prison Break Reboot!
PRISON BREAK EXCLUSIVE: Dominic Purcell Shuts Down Rumors of Sixth Season, Fans Left Devastated
In a shocking move that has left fans reeling, Australian actor Dominic Purcell, 55, has finally put an end to the rumors surrounding a potential sixth season of the hit crime drama Prison Break. The cult classic, which aired on Fox from 2005 to 2017, had been fueling speculation about a comeback for years.
But in a recent Instagram post, Dominic dropped a bombshell that will leave fans heartbroken: "I mean, I get it, it was a sick show, but I've really moved on. It's not happening." The actor, known for his iconic role as Lincoln Burrows, went on to explain that he's focused on the future and is excited about the possibilities ahead.
But why the sudden decision? Sources close to the actor suggest that Dominic has been feeling suffocated by the constant pressure from fans and producers to revive the show. "He's done it all before," a source spilled. "He wants to explore new projects, create new characters, and push his limits as an artist."
And it seems like Dominic is finally free from the Prison Break shackles. Since saying goodbye to Lincoln Burrows in 2017, he has accumulated an impressive résumé of credits, including starring roles in Arrow, Batwoman, DC's Legends Of Tomorrow, and the upcoming Universal drama Snatchback alongside his Prison Break co-star, Wentworth Miller.
But what about Wentworth? In a similar Instagram post last year, the actor revealed that he was officially done with the series. "I'm out," he wrote. "Not because of static on social media, but because I don't want to play straight characters anymore. Their stories have been told (and told)."
The Prison Break fan base has been on edge since Fox announced a sixth season in January 2018, only to later confirm that it wouldn't happen after all. The constant back-and-forth has left fans feeling frustrated and confused.
But what does this mean for the future of Prison Break? Insiders claim that there are no plans to revive the show, and Dominic's Instagram post seems to be the final nail in the coffin. "It's time to move on," a fan commented on the post. "Some people just can't let go."
The news has left fans reeling, with many taking to social media to share their disappointment. But as one fan so aptly put it: "True fans should know/understand to move on... Just rewatch the entire series for the 10th time like me and call it a day."
In other news, Dominic tied the knot with Tish Cyrus in 2023, following her divorce from Billy Ray after 28 years of marriage. The romantic ceremony was a much-needed break from the constant Prison Break drama.
It seems that Dominic is ready to move on and focus on his next projects. And we can't help but wonder what's next for this talented actor. Stay tuned for more updates, and don't forget to subscribe to TheScholarlyNote.com's showbiz newsletter for all the latest scoops and exclusives!
