Prison Break’s executive producer Matt Olmstead has admitted that the show may be axed in the near future. With the poor ratings Olmstead told Entertainment Weekly that there’s a shelf life to serialized drama. “If this is the last season, we’re not mourning that because it’s been a great ride and we have a great season [ahead].” IF the series is cancelled midway through this season, Olmstead says that they will have enough time to prepare an appropriate ending. “The season finale we have in mind could play as a season or series finale.” That being said, Olmstead says that the show’s producers have “absolutely been encouraged by the response” to the fourth season. “It took a while to get the right idea… and to have the audience supporting it is very gratifying.”
