Every Season Of Prison Break Ranked Worst To Best

5. Season 5

Out of the five seasons, the wooden spoon goes to Paul Scheuring's final and shortest chapter airing in early April through to late May in 2017.

Season Five is set seven years on from Scofield's heroic death in 'The Final Break'. It is revealed that he is very much alive and locked up in a Yemen prison, having been sent there by an alias known as 'Poseidon'. The likes of Burrows, Sara, C-Note and T-Bag all return to bring Michael back home and unravel yet another conspiracy.

Season Four, though not perfect, managed to tie up most of the loose ups and gave the fans a thrilling two part finale and much needed closure, Therefore, Season Five was ultimately unnecessary. This short season saw the return of complicated plot lines and twists, throwing fuel on an already extinguished fire. It's hard to justify its purpose, other than to give all our heroes a happy ending.

The bad outweighs the good but, to note a few positives, T-Bag's first time meeting with his son was touching and showed that the franchise's regular antagonist did have a heart after all. The sequence in which Scofield reframes Jacob, aka 'Poseidon' (Mark Feuerstein), was also precisely crafted, though rather silly.
