A Final Season of Breaking Bad


One more season of Breaking Bad, one of the most critically acclaimed series currently on television, will be reaching across the airwaves this fall. The award-winning show will be aired on AMC for a final 16 episodes and the series will conclude sometime next year or in 2013, depending on the schedule of episodes. This decision comes after Sony went around to other networks to find the best deal. Breaking Bad has had strong ratings from the beginning, but funds have been cut drastically for the show despite its popularity.

Creator Vince Gilligan says, "It’s a funny irony – I’d hate to know the date of my own last day on earth, but I’m delighted to know what Walter White’s will be (episodically speaking). This is a great gift to me and to my wonderful writers. It’s knowledge which will allow us to properly build our story to a satisfying conclusion." With 16 episodes to go, Gilligan has plenty of time to decide what that conclusion will be.

Breaking Bad is a television show that chronicles the story of struggling high school chemistry teacher, Walter White, played by Bryan Cranston, who is diagnosed with advanced lung cancer and turns to a life of crime making and selling meth. He works on this with a former student, Jesse Pinkman, played by Aaron Paul. The show takes place and is filmed in Albuquerque, New Mexico. It has won numerous awards for Paul and Cranston’s performances, as well as for its cinematography and writing. These awards include six Emmy Awards and a general consensus among critics that the show is one of the best on television today.
