Prison Break star Dominic Purcell's Instagram post renews fan hopes for season 6
Prison Break's Dominic Purcell has sparked speculation that season six could be on the way with a recent Instagram post.
The does-what-it-says-on-the-tin series last aired in 2017 with its fifth season, but season six still doesn't have an official greenlight despite previous interest from its network Fox.
Uploading a close-up shot earlier this month, the Lincoln Burrows actor teased in the caption: "Hearing #october," next to clapperboard and camera emojis.

As you'd expect, Purcell's followers were quick to react in the comments section over what his cryptic post might mean, with one particular user writing: "Please tell me is PB6."
"If it's Prison Break, hurry up already! Withdrawal!" added another, while a third replied: "wait what i feel like this is about prison break...."
With less than two months to go until October and an appetite from fans for more prison drama, let's hope the rumours are right.
Digital Spy has reached out to Fox for comment.

In the early days of coronavirus lockdown, the actor used social media once again to stir up some excitement for more episodes.
"I get smashed with 'when is #prisonbreak 6 happening'. What I can promise is this. We are all in agreement that if the story is worthy it will get made," he explained.
"Now with the horror of this #virus the calamity of it all drills inside me a new focus a steely resolve with PRISON BREAK 6– I'm very optimistic with #socialdistancing and a fierce adherence to expert opinion on how to beat this catastrophic unprecedented event, we all as one will be victorious over #coronavirus – corporations such as #netflix are desperate for content.
"I won't comment on pb 6 until it is time."
