It seems that initial news that came out mid this year about Breaking Bad Season 6 is actually qute confirmed now, reports say.
It has been known that there is a Breaking Bad spinoff series in the works, focusing on walt and Jesse's funny and extremely nervous lawyer, Saul Goodman (played by Bob Odenkirk.) The spinoff is wittingly named: "Better Call Saul", which is Goodman's tagline with his legal services office. While the spinoff is definitely confirmed to air, a recent report about an actual new season for the critically-acclaimed series has been going viral, claiming that producers have confirmed that there will indeed be a Breaking Bad Season 6.
According to Empire News, quoting the show's creator Vince Gilligan: "'It's true, we did decide to come back for another round with Walt,' said series creator Gilligan. 'Better Call Saul is going to be able to stand on its own, but there is more to Walt's story. He hasn't died just yet.' Gilligan says that the story he wanted to tell got wrapped up 'too quickly,' and that he, his producers, and AMC executives mutually decided that they needed to provide the fans with at least one more season. 'I was contacted by executives from AMC, the network which had been our home for five great seasons,' said Gilligan. 'They told me, in no few words, that they couldn't survive as a company on just the strength of The Walking Dead; as good as people think that show is for some reason, as many records as it might break, it doesn't have the viewership or the type of rabid fans that Bad has. So yes, this is about continuing the story for our fans, but it's also about AMC really, really not wanting to let go of a franchise that has made their channel a contender in the world of cable.'"
According to the same website and article, Breaking Bad star Bryan Cranston also voiced in:
"'I knew the show would be huge,' said Cranston in an interview last May. 'It was written too well, the ideas and characters so involved, it was a lot of fun working on the series, and I'm glad I got to be a part of it.'"
"'I loved playing Walter, and I was glad to jump at the chance to do it one more time,' said Cranston. 'We have a lot of things happening in this last season - not giving too much away, obviously Walter didn't die. Jesse is on the run, and our relationship is strained. The DEA and FBI don't know Walter is alive, so the meth still flows for a while. I already know that Walt ends up in jail at some point, there is a trial, but you can bet that won't be how the series ends, either. Everyone will be in for a real treat in season 6, I can promise that. I haven't seen the final ending script, so hell, maybe season 6 won't even be the last, who knows?'"
While this news seems very accurate, numerous bashers have commented that the article is obviously fake, and nothing more but a 'click-bait' type of site, where the writer makes up stories about the topic, in this case, Breaking Bad Season 6. A lot of readers are also hopeful that the news is true, as it would be great to see Walter and Jesse at it agai in a new season.
