Prison Break

A ninety-minute television film finishes the story, and it belongs inside the last episode of season four rather than after it.

Where to start with Prison Break

Four seasons in order, then one decision that people get wrong because every service makes it easy to. The television film is not an epilogue. It is set inside the final episode, and the final episode's last scene tells you how it ends.

  1. 1
    Prison Break, season 1 Prison Break

    Twenty-two episodes and the only season that is about a prison break. Nothing before it and nothing to decide.

  2. 2
    Prison Break, season 2 Prison Break

    Twenty-two episodes, picking up minutes after the first season ends. It is the manhunt, and it closes the story the first season opened.

  3. 3
    Prison Break, season 3 Prison Break

    Thirteen episodes rather than twenty-two, because the 2007 writers' strike stopped production part way through. The short order is why the season ends abruptly rather than because anything was cut.

  4. 4
    Prison Break, season 4, stopping before the last scene Prison Break

    Twenty-two episodes. Watch all of episode 22, Killing Your Number, but stop when the caption reading four years later appears. That caption is the ending of the television film, moved.

  5. 5
    Prison Break: The Final Break Prison Break: The Final Break

    Ninety minutes, and it is where the story actually finishes. It runs from the arrests at the end of episode 22 up to that same four years later scene, which it ends on, so nothing is skipped by stopping the episode early.

Then what? Season five, nine episodes made eight years later and set seven years after Michael is presumed dead. It undoes part of what the film establishes, and a good many people stop before it on purpose. After that there is nothing finished: a new Hulu series with an entirely new cast was ordered in October 2025 and has no date. If you would rather not stop an episode part way through, watching the film straight after episode 22 costs you only the order of one reveal, and Fox itself released it that way.

A suggested way in, not an official one. The full list is below — tick anything off in either place.

Your progress is saved on this device automatically. To carry it to another device, move the code below.

The code holds only this franchise. The link opens the tracker with your progress already filled in — good for showing someone where you're at. The image is a picture you can keep anywhere: scan the code on it with a phone, or drag the file back in below.

Drag a SagaList image here, or .

This reads the progress stored inside the picture, so nothing has to be retyped. If the image has been through a messaging app it may have been re-encoded and lost that — scan the code on it instead, or copy the code printed along the bottom.

Restoring replaces the progress currently saved on this device for the franchise the code belongs to.
