Few shows reach the same heights as Breaking Bad. It brilliantly blends western, drama, and dark comedy, making it one of the most popular and highly praised shows ever made—and its 16 Emmy Awards prove it. Recently, creator Vince Gilligan spoke with The Hollywood Reporter, and the news is either exciting or disappointing, depending on how you feel about spin-off series.
It’s exciting to see Gilligan exploring new ideas! Given his previous successes with shows like Breaking Bad – creating memorable characters like Walter White, Jesse Pinkman, and Saul Goodman – we’re eager to see what he does next. He explained that while he’s incredibly proud of Breaking Bad and its legacy, he was ready to write about a genuinely heroic character – someone striving to do good.
Is There A Future For Breaking Bad?
When asked about the possibility of continuing the Breaking Bad story, Vince Gilligan famously said, “Never say never.” However, he expressed a strong desire to protect the show’s legacy. He’d prefer to leave fans with good memories rather than risk creating a continuation that tarnishes their overall experience – he doesn’t want a final installment to ruin the positive impression of the original series. In a time filled with unnecessary reboots and sequels, this is a surprisingly honest and welcome perspective.
Fans have been very vocal about wanting a new spin-off, particularly after the success of Better Call Saul and as we get closer to the 20th anniversary of Breaking Bad‘s premiere. While it’s disappointing to think about the franchise ending, we agree with creator Vince Gilligan that it’s better to leave it on a high note rather than revive it just for the sake of it. And if you’re missing this kind of compelling TV, check out Pluribus on Apple TV+—you might even spot some familiar faces, locations, and hidden references.
