Bad news to Prison Break lovers as the much awaited season 6 is never going to happen, at least not with main characters Wentworth Miller (Michael Scofield) and Dominic Purcell (Lincoln Burrows).
Miller announced he will no longer feature in any Prison Break instalment in a lengthy post on his Instagram account on Sunday November 8th.
Miller, who is outright gay, explained that he no longer wanted to play straight characters on TV because ‘their stories have been told (and told)’.
“This is my favorite IG account,” someone wrote in response to a recent post. Thank you. I want you to know I saw that. I see the positive comments and DMs (a lot of them anyway). Affectionate. Supportive. Appreciated (by me).
“Obviously there are comments and DMs I appreciate less. Who are these people? On my page? What backwards-ass, Stone Age values country did they crawl out of? The U.S.?
“I won’t be disappearing (too many cool things to repost). The ability to comment likely will. I’m not concerned for myself. I can’t be “bullied” in this space. I have too much power. “Delete. Block. Deactivate.” Etc.
“But I take seriously the possibility of queer kids visiting here, recently out of the closet or exploring the idea… I don’t want them exposed to bullshit.
“On a related note… I’m out. Of PB. Officially. Not bec of static on social media (although that has centered the issue). I just don’t want to play straight characters. Their stories have been told (and told).
“So. No more Michael. If you were a fan of the show, hoping for additional seasons… I understand this is disappointing. I’m sorry.
“If you’re hot and bothered bec you fell in love with a fictional straight man played by a real gay one… That’s your work. – W.M. ?️?,” wrote Wenthworth Miller.
