Dominic Purcell has claimed that Prison Break will return for a sixth season at some point in the future.

The drama, which starred Purcell and Wentworth Miller as two brothers on the run, originally aired for four seasons between 2005 and 2009 on FOX.

The network revived the series for a nine-episode fifth season in 2017 and although plans for a sixth were said to be in development at the time, there has been no visible progress since.

Sharing a selfie on Instagram, Purcell wrote: "Rumor number 1. I'm old. Yes. I'm 50.....Rumor number 2. I'm bald. No I have a full head of hair; the people demand I shave it.

"Rumor number 3, Will season pb 6 happen. Yes.....Rumor number 4. Do I like humans? No. Not on mass. Definitely not."

All five seasons of Prison Break are available for streaming on Netflix in the UK.
