Season one is breaking out of prison. So far so good.
Season two is a manhunt. That’s fair, it’s the aftermath.
Season three is breaking out of prison… again! But this time in Panama. Technically that is the show, so alright.
Season four is a secret shadow organization who can cure all diseases but don’t.
Also there is a post-show film that adds another prison break for some reason. Also I’m learning the show was revived for a fifth season, I can’t say what that’s about.
It was conceptualized as a miniseries and not really intended to go beyond the first season. They didn’t write it to have a plot post season one so it goes off the rails quickly as they tried to capture the original essence that made it popular while winging it on the story. Hell they didn’t even originally write it to have as many episodes in the first season as they ended up having and iirc they even considered just making a movie instead

Season 5 is, you guessed it, another prison. This time in the middle east.
Talks of a reboot/relaunch are being thrown around rn
I feel like an anthology series based around different prison breaks in different eras and countries could be very fun.
