Miller, who came out in 2013, put an end to rumors he'd be involved in a second reboot of his Fox drama series, writing in an Instagram post Sunday: "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. If you're hot and bothered bec you fell in love with a fictional straight man played by a real gay one... That's your work. - W.M."

Glad you have made this decision for you health and your truth. Keep the posts coming. …. love ya brother.” Sarah Wayne Callies, another co-star, also voiced her support. “With gratitude for all the work we did together, & with deep love, I’m voicing my support for that choice,” she wrote. “To all the fans, know this: the cast of prison break is a queer friendly space. we stand with – and among – our friends & family in the LGBTQ+ community with full throated support for their rights and artistic work. all the time. always.” Prison Break originally aired on Fox for four seasons from 2005 to 2009, returning for a limited series revival in 2017.
