Breaking Bad Plot and Cast

Breaking Bad follows Walter White, a poor high school chemistry teacher diagnosed with lung cancer. After his cancer diagnosis, Walter White decided to ‘cook’ crystal methamphetamine to pay for his cancer treatment and to collect a lot of money to support his family after his death.

Walter then learns the basics of the drug trade with the help of his former student, Jesse Pinkman. In the last five seasons, Walter White turned into a deadly drug lord who was feared throughout the state. Eventually, his identity was leaked to the police after a confrontation with his partner, Jesse Pinkman.

Towards the end of fifth season, Walter White managed to return to Albuquerque to avenge his brother in law’s death and give his remaining money to his son. However, in the last episode, he gets shot and passes away, while Jesse Pinkman manages to escape the police.

Breaking Bad Season 6 will follow the story of Jesse Pinkman’s return and will reveal what happened to Walter White’s hidden money.

Jesse Pinkman will be the main lead and will work to reclaim the drug market in Albuquerque. The show will not feature Bryan Cranston’s Walter White, as he died at the end of Season 5. Reports also mention that Walter White Jr and his mother, Skyler White, would appear as supporting characters for Season 6.
