Even though the fans of Prison Break are fabulous (you know you are!), the end is looming near. So what happened? Executive producer Zack Estrin tells Kristen at E!Online why the show is ending and what we can expect.
“We’ve always known that this would probably be our last season,” Zack says. “And we’ve been approaching the stories as such. It was, and is, very important to the writers that this show have an ending. A completed story” He says that the fans are loyal and they owe it to the fans and to the characters to end it soon.
“Safe is never terribly interesting. Safe may last a little longer, but will it be remembered ten years from now? I don’t know. But I believe Prison Break will be remembered. Has it been perfect? Of course not. But it’s been unique. It’s been provocative. It’s been iconic. And, most importantly, it’s been entertaining. And, at the end of the day, isn’t that the point of it all?”
Zack says that there will be eight more episodes, including a final two-episode that will answer one final question we’re left with. What could that be? All I know is that, even though I’ve never been a huge MiSa fan, there better be an engagement ring in their future and not some horrible death for Michael!

That is great news!
As sad as it is to see PB go I’m glad they’ve got an ending in store to bring closure.
And I’m glad to hear that there will be 8 more episodes!

Yes so there will be 8 episodes :D :D :D
I don’t want any of the brothers to die cuz that will ruin the show :(
Surely Michael can’t die again since he was on the brink of it in 4.15!

the final 2 hour episode which one question will be answered, will be: what exactly happened to Paul Kellerman? :)

It worries me that he wants the show to be remembered because he said that they would likely not be a safe ending. I just hope our 3 main characters have a safe ending….i’m picturing them on a beach with LJ

I hope we see happy ending for Misa,Linc ,Sucre and Alex..We deserve it after all of this suspense.
Of course I’ll always remember this awesome show for more than 10 years from now.
