Hollywood star, Wentworth Miller has called it a quit with Prison Break, as he announced that he will not be returning for the sixth season of the Fox Network’s TV series.
Announcing his shocking exit, Miller, in a post on his Instagram page, made it clear that he would not be involved in the forthcoming season of Prison Break due to his decision to only play gay characters.
While apologising to fans who “fell in love with a fictional straight man played by a real gay one,” Miller identified with the LGBTQIA+ community.
He wrote: “On a related note… I’m out. Of PB. Officially.
“Not bec of static on social media (although that has centered the issue). I just don’t want to play straight characters. Their stories have been told (and told).
“So. No more Michael. If you were a fan of the show, hoping for additional seasons… I understand this is disappointing. I’m sorry.”
Miller, who came out as gay in 2013, starred in Prison Break as Michael Schofield, who attempts to spring his brother Lincoln Burrows, played by Dominic Purcell, from death row by getting himself incarcerated in the same prison.
