With 16 Primetime Emmy Awards, two Golden Globes, and several other accolades, Breaking Bad is undisputedly one of the most influential American neo-Western crime drama television series of all time. It made mainstream viewers believe that TV series could have complex stories that are just as good or even better, than films. The crime drama climaxed with its fifth season back on 29th September of 2013 leaving the fans wondering about Jesse Pinkman’s fate. But perhaps it seems to be the perfect time for the series to take things a notch higher with the well awaited Breaking Bad Season 6.
Breaking Bad Season 6
Breaking Bad Season 5 ended with Walter White’s cryptic death, but creator Vince Gilligan never confirmed much in his script. Some fans wondered about Jesse Pinkman’s fate. Well, that’s because Vince wanted to maintain the ambiguity over Walter White’s death. But 7 years later, he directed and released the highly-anticipated movie, El Camino, on 7th October 2019. Running at about two hours long without commercials, it answers all those questions.
After Breaking Bad season 5, AMC commissioned the spinoff series Better Call Saul instead of Breaking Bad season 6. The offshoot stars the colorful lawyer Saul Goodman, played by Bob Odenkirk is currently in its fifth season and follows Saul in the years leading up to the beginning of the Breaking Bad storyline.
Is Breaking bad Season 6 really going to happen?
Some fans presumed that El Camino’s huge success would officially lead to the launch of well-anticipated Breaking Bad Season 6. According to multiple entertainment portals, the directors and writers of Breaking Bad might be working on the sixth season of the drama. The reports claim to follow the story of Jesse Pinkman’s return along with the reveal of what happened to Walter White’s hidden money. The show will not feature Bryan Cranston’s Walter White, due to his cryptic death at the end of Breaking Bad Season 5. Jesse Pinkman is the main lead, will work to reclaim the drug market in Albuquerque. Walter White Jr and his mother, Skyler White, might be prominent supporting characters for Season 6.
Now that there is a possibility of bringing Walter back, the whole idea of another season stacked with uncontrolled drugs, Jesse Pinkman’s coolness, and Walter’s agitating attitude. For the time being, we have Better Call Saul and El Camino to extinguish our anticipation pangs. Who knows, maybe a Breaking Bad Season 6 is slated for the future!
