The Breaking Bad movie sequel will reportedly air on AMC and Netflix, premiering first on Netflix.
Per The Hollywood Reporter, the feature-length film will star Aaron Paul, who portrayed Jesse Pinkman in all five seasons of Breaking Bad. The film, codenamed Greenbrier, will reportedly be written and directed by series creator Vince Gilligan, who will executive produce alongside Mark Johnson and Melissa Bernstein.
Having the film premiere first on Netflix is a reversal of how the show branched out to the streaming service, as it initially debuted on AMC, and the streaming rights were later sold to Netflix. This brought in more viewers, and made the final seasons immensely popular.
News of the film’s production broke back in November 2018, at which point it was reveled that it would follow Jesse after the events of Breaking Bad’s series finale. As it turns out, Gilligan may have revealed the film’s plot over five years ago in an interview with GQ.
