Prison Break's long-awaited revival is already over in the US, but the series still may not be done for good.

Fox's network chief Dana Walden recently commented that they would "definitely consider doing more episodes" – and now co-showrunner Vaun Wilmott has suggested they're already thinking about a sixth season.

He told TVLine: "Right now, we are all just enjoying these nine episodes. If the right storyline comes along, I am sure the gang would be back to do it again… But ideas are percolating."

Wilmott added he enjoyed reuniting the cast and crew for season 5, saying: "For me, the reunions were the most satisfying. Michael and Lincoln hugging at the end of Episode 4. Sara saving Michael's life in Episode 7. The big reveal in Episode 9 – Michael's long game and his genius."

He also spoke about the difficulties of being cut from an initially-planned 10 episodes to 9, revealing what he would have done differently.

Wilmott explained: "We would have given more time to Sucre, or spent more time with Sara and Michael. The bible was originally written for 10 episodes, so cutting down to 9 caused certain sacrifices.

"The series reinvention was malleable and we adhered to as much of the past as feasible for the story. Certain things were not mentioned as they were not important to the overall narrative that we wanted to tell this season."

So when are we likely to get more Prison Break? Probably when creator Paul Scheuring can come up with a decent idea.

Previously, star Wentworth Miller said himself that he feels "like there's more story there".

Prison Break airs on FOX in the UK and the US.
