The Plot Set several years after the events of Season 5, the new season finds Michael living under a new identity, far from his past, while Lincoln tries to rebuild a quiet life. But peace doesn’t last long. When a covert U.S. agency discovers secrets buried deep in Michael’s past—secrets that could threaten national security—he’s captured and locked away in a black-site prison off the grid.
Lincoln, unwilling to let history repeat itself, gathers a new team of allies—including familiar faces like Sara Tancredi (Sarah Wayne Callies) and Sucre (Amaury Nolasco)—to stage an impossible breakout. Meanwhile, Michael must navigate a psychological labyrinth of isolation, surveillance, and betrayal inside the ultra-modern prison known as “The Citadel.”
Trailer Highlights The trailer showcases intense hand-to-hand combat, high-tech security systems, and cryptic tattoos that hint at hidden messages once again playing a vital role. “I’ve escaped before,” Michael says in a haunting voice-over. “But this place was designed for me not to.”
The tension, clever planning, and emotional weight that made the original series a global phenomenon appear to be back in full force.
Premiere Date & Streaming Prison Break Season 6 is set to premiere in January 2026 on Hulu and FX, with weekly episode drops. The creators promise a darker, more suspenseful tone, while still honoring the intelligence, emotion, and brotherhood that fans fell in love with.
