The question of whether AMC will indeed split the final season of Breaking Bad is close to an official verdict.
Emmy-winning series star Bryan Cranston says AMC will break the
award-winning drama’s final 16-episode season into two separate runs, as
reports have speculated for months. “We’re splitting it,” says
Cranston, who’s currently shooting the fifth season premiere in New
Mexico. “We’re going to shoot the first eight, then take a four-month
production break, then the rest will air next year.”
The network has not announced a premiere date for Breaking Bad, though actors on the show say the drama will return in July.
