Hence, it is evident for them to serve as a prominent nostalgia for the fans of the series. No doubt, the award-winning series of AMC, Breaking Bad, is unmatchable in every aspect. Be it cast performance, direction, or screenplay, the crime thriller has excelled in every field. Ever since it debuted in 2008, Breaking Bad became one of the best TV series of all time. In fact, it rose to new heights after receiving a second life on Netflix.
The viewership touched the skies and bagged numerous accolades. With an ensemble cast including Bryan Cranston and Giancarlo Esposito, the series has had five blockbuster seasons so far. However, ever since the last installment wrapped up, the fate of Breaking Bad Season 6 also got packed. Why is it so? Keep reading to know it.
Created by Vince Gilligan, Breaking Bad is set against the backdrop of Mexico. It was so successful that the makers decided to develop its spin-off, Better Call Saul. It garnered even more critical appreciation and is still one of the highest-rated shows of all time. While Breaking Bad ended in 2013, its popularity showed no sign of slowing down. Talking about its story in brief, the plot follows a chemistry teacher, Walter White. All the events take place primarily between 2008 and 2010. It tells the journey of Walter’s transformation into a drug kingpin, who later on suffers from lung cancer. Interestingly, the makers have covered several genres in a single attempt. Breaking Bad is known to have set the bars of thrillers and crime dramas so high. In addition to this, the captivating twists and enthralling drug activities never let the series lose its pace.
Is There Any Chance Of Breaking Bad Season 6? What Is The Current Status?
Vince Gilligan’s iconic meth saga is unarguably one of the finest neo-noir series ever created in the history of television. But every time when the chapters saw their end, fans always hoped for the next season. The same applied when fans witnessed the fifth season of Breaking Bad. But things aren’t the same, as the series has not returned to the screens yet. Even almost after a decade, Breaking Bad Season 6 has shown no sign of happening. This is because of a few factors that have assured that the show will not return.
Firstly, the story has concluded completely and is fully rounded. As per the different media reports, Breaking Bad season 5 did not leave behind any cliffhangers that can compel the makers to develop a new season. Secondly, much before the premiere of the last season, the team announced it to be the final installment. So, it is quite possible that the creator could have thought not to exaggerate the story much, or else it would lose its seriousness. But, to compensate, the official team of Breaking Bad decided to develop a sequel film, El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie. It was released in 2019 on the streaming giant Netflix. Therefore, Breaking Bad Season 6 is not happening as of now. Further, Vince is working on a new project. Thus, the chances of the sixth season remain quite slim.
Breaking Bad Season 5: Ending Explained!
The fifth season of Breaking Bad started with the aftermath of Gus’ death. Following his demise, the other members, Walt, Mike, and Jesse, began a new business venture. Complications arrive when their partner Todd kills a child while trying to rob methylamine. Following this incident, Jesse and Mike decided to sell their methylamine share to another distributor. On the other hand, Walter White was successful in establishing his math business and earned about $80 million. For that, the entire business apparently shifted to a proper crime story where Walter killed Mike. Not only this, but the entire assassination plan resulted in Declan’s death as well.
Meanwhile, Hank realized that Heisenberg was none other than Walt, and to prove the fact, he started collecting pieces of evidence. Eventually, Walt was taken under arrest while Jack’s gang killed Hank and captured Jesse. In the last scene of the series, Jesse escaped while Walt died in Jack’s math lab due to his wounds.
Who Could Have Returned In Breaking Bad Season 6?
Breaking Bad is incomplete without Bryan Cranston. Therefore, he would have surely reprised the character of Walter White. Anna Gunn as Skyler White and Aaron Paul as Jesse Pinkman would have been the other confirmed names. In addition to them, RJ Mitte, Giancarlo Esposito, and Dean Norris would have appeared as Walter White Jr., Gus Fring, and Hank Schrader, respectively. Apart from these actors, Bob Odenkirk and Jonathan Banks were such names who were bound to return to their respective roles as well. Many personalities from the recurring panel would have also joined the cast in Breaking Bad Season 6.
Breaking Bad Season 6: Release Date
Well, before discussing it, it is important for us to clear the fact that AMC dropped the sixth installment of Better Call Saul and not Breaking Bad. Now, as already mentioned above, the chances for Breaking Bad Season 6 are slim, and so a release date for the same is a vague subject to discuss. But when it comes to speculations, fans have really expected it to drop sometime in 2025. But the potential season 6 can take even more time to develop and land on AMC and Netflix.
