Breaking Bad fans may have just one year left to watch show on Netflix

As one of the most highly-rated and critically acclaimed shows of the 21st century, Breaking Bad has accrued a cult following online... but there could be some bad news on the horizon for fans.

That's right, unfortunately the show may not be available on one of its main platforms for much longer.

The crime drama's first season was released back in 2008 and follows Walter White, a chemistry teacher who finds out that he has stage three cancer and turns to crime to secure his family's financial future before he dies.

The show is allegedly set to be pulled from Netflix following an investigation by The Wrap and What's On Netflix, who claimed to have found the exact last date you can watch Breaking Bad on Netflix.

Breaking Bad will be one of the biggest losses seen on the platform, but if you are a fan of the AMC show and the rumours are true, there is just about enough time to watch it through (a few times).

According to The Wrap, Walter White and Jesse Pinkman will be kicked off Netflix on 10 February 2025, if nothing is agreed in the next year or so.

Some good news though, is that boss at AMC, Dan McDermott, is eager for another Breaking Bad spin-off following the success of Better Caul Saul.

So there could still be content coming from the Breaking Bad world, don't worry folks.

In an interview with variety, McDermott stated that AMC's door 'is always open', leaving it in the hands of creators Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould.

He said: "I can tell you that if I could do anything to encourage Vince and Peter to continue on in this universe, I would do it.

"I think you’d have to ask them, but the door is always open and I long for the day my phone rings and Vince, Peter or our friends at Sony call to say, 'Hey, I think we have another show set in this universe'."

If they do decide to go in on a third series, Vince and Peter have set themselves up nicely, with no shortage of characters from the worlds of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul who fans want to see more from.

Breaking Bad is still available to stream on Netflix.

LADbible Group has Netflix and Sony Pictures Television Entertainment for comment on the reports.
