Fans of the beloved series “Prison Break” should prepare for a tight viewing schedule, as the show is set to leave Netflix globally in September 2025. This comes as part of a deal with Disney, which reinstated the series on the platform after a three-year hiatus in July 2025, starting with the US followed by international regions.
Created by Paul Scheuring, “Prison Break” follows the gripping story of an engineer who purposely gets incarcerated to assist in the rescue of his brother, wrongfully convicted of murder. The show’s return to Netflix saw a significant surge in viewership, garnering impressive statistics. In just under a year, it accumulated a staggering 2.097 billion hours viewed, equating to about 153.79 million views across all five seasons.
Internationally, “Prison Break” will depart Netflix on September 4th, 2025, giving viewers just a few weeks to catch up. However, there is a silver lining: the series will continue streaming on Disney+, ensuring that fans can still enjoy it despite its removal from Netflix.
In the United States, subscribers have a bit more time, as “Prison Break” will remain available until January 29, 2026, albeit with uncertainty surrounding future renewals due to similar patterns observed with other Disney shows. This gives US viewers the opportunity to binge-watch the series over the holiday season before it leaves Netflix for good.
As the streaming landscape continues to evolve, it’s crucial for fans to ensure they have alternative platforms ready to watch their favorite shows. Despite the temporary losses, hope remains with options for continued access on platforms like Disney+.
