How many episodes of prison break season 3 are there?

Season three was cut short due to the writers strike hence there are only thirteen episodes, whereas the first two seasons had twenty two episodes each. I love Prison Break! Edited to add: Season 4 will also have 22 episodes. Prison Break season 4 returns on Fridays between Apr 17, 2009 thru May 15th (US) to air its final 6 episodes (epi 17-22). Season 4 is the finals season so tune into FOX to see how the story ends. (UK episodes start back up Tue, April 21). Prison Break was not renewed for a 5th season, but its not over until its over, so be sure to tune in to see how the story ends.

Is Michael schofield from prison break still alive?

Maybe, because we didn't see Michael die, but the directors want us to think he's dead. so officially, no. But if there is going to be a season 5 of prison break, then i am sure that he would be alive. unless another story will start. But i don't see a reason to start another season, probably something to do with his son.

Has prison break been axed?

prison break has not been axed. it ended as Michael scofield, Lincoln burrows and the rest of the team finally took down the company and put the general of the company behind bars. however sara got arrested for killing michaels mother and so Michael broke her out of the prison but sacrificed his own life blowing himself up through electric currents so that Sarah could get away safetly. very sad ending on THE FINAL BREAK which isn't part of any season, its the final movie part of the whole series. in season 4 last episode you see michaels son going to his grave and laying some flowers down, with Sarah, sucre, mahone and Lincoln. however im hoping prison break producers improvise and come up with a season 5 somehow


Will there be any series as good as prison break?
