End Nears for Prison Break

LOS ANGELES, January 14: FOX’s Prison Break will end its run at the close of its fourth season this spring, with the final episodes to begin airing April 17 in a Friday night slot.

Ratings for the series, which premiered in August 2005, have been on the decline for the last two years. Kevin Reilly, FOX’s president of entertainment, said at a press conference yesterday: "We didn’t give it the hook. The show just played out. I think you get to the point where creatively everyone feels enough stories were told."
