It was also reported that the showrunners have apparently mentioned that the fifth season could be the final season for the show. Creator Paul Scheuring said that it is almost certain that the series will say its farewell after all the episodes on the fifth season finish airing.

Scheuring said, "On some level, that break that we had of six-to-seven years in real life allowed Wentworth to appreciate what he had with Michael Scofield,"

However, as per Digital Spy, Wentworth Miller said that there is a possibility the show could be renewed for another upcoming season after season 5. He said in an interview that he would love to have another comeback on the show, as long as the story is still worth telling to the fans and viewers.
