Breaking Bad is a neo-western crime drama franchise created by American filmmaker Vince Gilligan.[1][2][3][4][5]

Breaking Bad revolves around chemistry teacher turned-methamphetamine drug lord named Walter White and his former student and fellow cook/dealer Jesse Pinkman. The prequel series Better Call Saul is about criminal lawyer Saul Goodman who Walter and Jesse eventually hire. Both series about the topic of change and metamorphosis, similar to classic novel Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde,[6] with the protagonists drastically changing as their stories develop; Walter White becoming Heisenberg, and Jimmy McGill becoming Saul Goodman. The shows are set in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and give a modernized twist to Westerns set in the region, such as Albuquerque, Walt Disney Presents Elfego Baca, or The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.[7][8]

The franchise has garnered numerous awards for Breaking Bad and for Better Call Saul. The franchise is owned by Sony Pictures Television,[9] the series was originally aired on AMC and Netflix,[10][11] and produced at Albuquerque Studios which emboldened success for the media in Albuquerque and film in New Mexico.[12][13][14]

Television series

Breaking Bad

Main article: Breaking Bad

Originally airing on AMC starting in 2008. The original show was written as a drama about a cancer-stricken chemistry teacher that became involved in cooking and dealing methamphetamine, alongside one of his former students.

Metástasis

Main article: Metástasis

On March 13, 2013, after several days of speculation fueled by Univision,[15] Sony confirmed that it would be making a Spanish-language remake of Breaking Bad titled Metástasis starring Diego Trujillo as Walter Blanco (Walter White) and Roberto Urbina as José Miguel Rosas (Jesse Pinkman), alongside Sandra Reyes and Julián Arango in unnamed roles.[16] On October 2, 2013, the cast list was revealed to include Reyes as Cielo Blanco (Skyler White) and Arango as Henry Navarro (Hank Schrader), and that the show would be set in Colombia.[17] The equivalent of Saul Goodman is named Saúl Bueno.[18]

The series premiered on June 8, 2014, until September 18, 2014, airing a total of 62 episodes.[19][20]

Better Call Saul

Main article: Better Call Saul

Bob Odenkirk's character of Saul Goodman was originally to appear in Breaking Bad in three episodes within the show's second season, but became a main character through the rest of the show's run in part due to the strength of Odenkirk's acting abilities.[21][22] Goodman became one of the show's more popular characters, and Odenkirk, Gilligan, and Peter Gould, who wrote the episode "Better Call Saul" in which the character was introduced, started discussions near the end of Breaking Bad of a possible series expanding on the character, eventually settling on the idea of a prequel to show the origins of Saul about six years prior to the events of Breaking Bad.[23] In April 2013, AMC and Sony Pictures Television expressed interest in Gilligan and Gould's spin-off series concept,[24] and they officially ordered Better Call Saul in September 2013.[25] The series focuses on Saul's life six years before he became Walter's lawyer as Jimmy McGill, a more earnest lawyer trying to turn away from his troublesome con-man days.[26] In addition to Odenkirk, Banks and Esposito star and reprise their roles as Mike and Gus, respectively, while several other Breaking Bad cast members have guest-starred on the show. Newcomers to the starring cast of Better Call Saul include Rhea Seehorn, Patrick Fabian, Michael Mando, Michael McKean, and Tony Dalton.

The show premiered on February 8, 2015,[27] with a sixth and final season aired in 2022 to complete a 63-episode run.[28] Better Call Saul has received similar critical praise as Breaking Bad, and was considered as a prime example of how to produce a spinoff work that defies the usual expectations of such forms.[29]

Film

El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie

Main article: El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie

A sequel film was formally announced in February 2019, and was later revealed to be titled El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie.[30] The film was released exclusively on Netflix on October 11, 2019, and was broadcast on AMC on February 16, 2020.[31] The film stars Paul reprising his role as Jesse, following the events of the series finale "Felina", as the character searches for his freedom.[30]

Video games

Breaking Bad: Criminal Elements

Main article: Breaking Bad: Criminal Elements

On June 6, 2019, FTX Games released Breaking Bad: Criminal Elements, a strategy-mobile video game for both iOS and Android. The game contains many elements of the original show and focuses mainly on the player building their own drug empire from nothing, similar to how Walt did in the show.[32] The game closed in September 2020.

Animated series

Slippin' Jimmy

Variety reported in March 2021 that AMC was developing an animated spinoff series, Slippin' Jimmy.[33] The series, a prequel based on younger Jimmy and Chuck's time in Cicero, Illinois, was developed by Ariel Levine and Kathleen Williams-Foshee, who previously worked on the associated live-action web series. Voice actors include Chi McBride, Laraine Newman, and Sean Giambrone as Jimmy.[34]

Slippin' Jimmy was later revealed as a short-form series; a six-part animated series to be released online during the sixth season of Better Call Saul. Told in the style of classic 1970s-era cartoons, each episode is an ode to a specific movie genre — from Spaghetti Westerns and Buster Keaton to The Exorcist. The series was produced by Rick and Morty animators Starburns and written by Levine and Williams-Foshee.[35] Six episodes, each around 8-9 minutes in length, were released on AMC+ on May 23, 2022.[36]

Comics

AMC has released two digital comic books for Better Call Saul. The first, titled Better Call Saul: Client Development, released in February 2015, in advance of the series premiere, details the history of Saul and Mike, acting as a spin-off of the Breaking Bad episode that introduced Saul.[37] In February 2016, in advance of the second-season premiere, AMC released Better Call Saul: Saul Goodman and the Justice Consortium in the Clutches of the Judgernaut![38]

Shorts and online media

Shorts

Talking Bad

Main article: Talking Bad

From August 11, 2013, to September 29, 2013, eight episodes of the live talk show, Talking Bad, aired on AMC, following Breaking Bad. The host, Chris Hardwick, and guests—who included celebrity fans, cast members, and Breaking Bad crew members—discussed episodes that aired immediately preceding the talk show. Talking Bad was inspired by the success of Talking Dead (also hosted by Hardwick), which airs immediately following new episodes of The Walking Dead, and the talk shows share a similar logo and theme music.[39]

Talking Saul

Talking Saul is a live aftershow hosted by Chris Hardwick, which features guests discussing episodes of Better Call Saul. The show uses the same format as Talking Dead and Talking Bad, other aftershows hosted by Hardwick. AMC announced that Talking Saul would air after the second season Better Call Saul premiere on February 15, 2016, and again after the second-season finale on April 18, 2016.[40] It returned following the season 3 premiere and finale.[41] The show did not return for Better Call Saul's fourth and fifth season, with no word from AMC on its status. This caused some to believe the show was cancelled.[42] Talking Saul returned for the mid-season finale of Better Call Saul's sixth season.[43]

Podcast

The Better Call Saul Insider Podcast is a pre-recorded series which the creators gather to discuss the episode recently broadcast. Originally started as part of the Breaking Bad series, the podcast discusses the production of the show and features actors discussing their decisions and process of the characters they play. The crew also details their methods in deciding how an episode was shot. The show routinely includes the major cast, director and camera crew of the respective episodes.[49]

Web series

Better Call Saul Employee Training Video

Since season three, AMC has released four separate short series that feature a mix of live action and animated segments. Season three featured Los Pollos Hermanos Employee Training with Esposito portraying Gus, season four featured Madrigal Electromotive Security Training with Banks as Mike, season five featured Ethics Training with Kim Wexler with Seehorn as Kim and side-voiceovers from Odenkirk as Jimmy, and season six featured Filmmaker Training with the film crew that helped Jimmy make his advertisements. These were released over the course of each season on YouTube and through AMC's social media. The first three series consisted of ten episodes, while the last will consist of six.[50][51]

Both Los Pollos Hermanos Employee Training and Ethics Training with Kim Wexler received the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Short Form Comedy or Drama Series,[52][53] and while Madrigal Electromotive Security Training had been initially nominated, the Academy had to pull the nomination after discovering the show was too short (less than two minutes), though stated the pull was "in no way a diminishment of the quality of Better Call Saul Employee Training or Mr. Banks's performance in it".[54]

The Broken and the Bad

In June 2020, AMC announced The Broken and the Bad, a six-part true crime short-form docuseries inspired by Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. The miniseries explored real-world stories and situations that mirrored the fictional worlds of both shows.[55] Episode subjects included the psychology of con artists and hit men, the economics of massive drug operations, as well as a town in the United States that catered to those who suffered from electromagnetic hypersensitivity, a condition that Better Call Saul character Chuck McGill believed afflicted him. The miniseries was hosted by Giancarlo Esposito and premiered on the AMC app and AMC.com on July 9, 2020.[56]

Digital shorts

No Picnic

On June 19, 2017, the night of third season finale, fans were able to access the three-minute short film No Picnic, which feature the characters Betsy and Craig Kettleman, who were not seen since the first season. The short, directed by Saul associate producer Jenn Carroll and written by the show's writers' assistant Ariel Levine, shows the Kettleman family organizing a picnic close to family patriarch Craig, who is seen picking up roadside litter with his fellow inmates as part of his prison sentence.[57]

American Greed: James McGill

In April 2022, a few weeks before the sixth season premiere, the CNBC Prime YouTube account uploaded American Greed: James McGill.[58] Written by Peter Gould's assistant Valerie Chu, the ten-minute short was a mockumentary done in the style of the documentary series American Greed. It featured interviews of several recurring Better Call Saul characters recounting their memories of Jimmy McGill and Kim Wexler.[59]

Others

In July and August 2013, amidst the host of games, merchandise, podcasts, and various media AMC had released on the "Exclusives" section of the show's official website, over the course of the series,[60] the digital comic book Breaking Bad: All Bad Things was released in August 2013. The comic "recaps the first four-and-a-half seasons of Walter White's descent from mild-mannered chemistry teacher to drug kingpin".[61][62]

In October 2013, New York composer Sung Jin Hong announced his intentions to create an opera inspired by the Breaking Bad episode "Ozymandias".[63]

The mini-opera titled Breaking Bad – Ozymandias is a combination of Percy Bysshe Shelley's sonnet "Ozymandias" as well as the episode.[64]

Prior to the start of production of the fifth season, Jeffrey Katzenberg had approached the series' creators and offered them to produce three additional episodes at US$25 million a piece compared to the normal US$3.5 million cost of each episode, as to create material for his future streaming platform, Quibi. The episodes would have been broken up into 5 to 10 minute chapters as to fit Quibi's micro-format. The Breaking Bad team turned down this offer, chiefly as there was not much material they could continue into these episodes.[65]

In 2017, French editors Lucas Stoll and Gaylor Morestin created a fan edit, simply titled Breaking Bad: The Movie, condensing the entire series into a two-hour feature film and uploaded it onto Vimeo. They had worked on the film for around two years prior to its release.[66][67] However the film was soon taken down for copyright violation.[68][69][70] Critic Alan Sepinwall remarked that the movie "doesn't in any way work as a standalone entity."[71] In order to achieve feature film length, notable side characters like Tuco Salamanca and the Salamanca Cousins were cut entirely, and the conclusion to the Gustavo Fring story occurred off-screen.[71]
