Prison Break Cancelled

Fox has announced the cancellation of Prison Break.

Prison Break first went to air in 2005 with strong ratings, but slowly lost viewers as the show progressed. From a peak of 12.1 million viewers the third series averaged only 6.1 million. Fox ordered an additional two episodes for Season 4 in November, sparking rumors that they may be the finale for the show; the rumors turned out right.

The fourth and final series of Prison Break will air on Fox Friday nights from April 17.
