‘Breaking Bad’ Movie Sequel Coming To Netflix

The streaming giant has their hands on the initial broadcast rights to a feature-film sequel to the hit series “Breaking Bad,” according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The movie, which will focus on Jesse Pinkman —the oft-troubled meth-cooker played by Aaron Paul —, will air on Netflix before debuting on AMC, the network that originally aired “Breaking Bad” from 2008 to 2013.

Although many expected the film would premiere on its home network, in actuality, Netflix and “Breaking Bad” have a long history together. Although the show’s initial seasons on AMC received critical acclaim, they earned middling ratings. It wasn’t until Netflix added the show to its streaming service, however, that ratings for “Breaking Bad” began to increase.

The sequel, which is being written and directed by creator Vince Gilligan and produced by Sony TV, will focus on Jesse, presumably after his escape from Neo-Nazi captivity in the series finale.

Bryan Cranston confirmed the news of a sequel movie, but said that he was in the dark about the details.

“I have not gotten the script, I have not read the script,” Cranston told “The Dan Patrick Show.” “And so, there’s the question of whether or not we’ll even see Walter White in this movie. Ohhhhh! Think about that one.”
