Multiple sources have confirmed that Netflix will be airing the new Breaking Bad movie when it debuts, which will then move on to AMC, where the series originally aired.

The distribution move is unique, but not surprising, considering the factor Netflix played in Breaking Bad's success- as the series grew in popularity on the streaming service, more viewers tuned in to keep the show afloat on AMC.

The plot of the Breaking Bad movie supposedly revolves around the escape of Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) from his kidnappers. The film is set to be a sequel to the Emmy Award-winning series, which may tie up some loose ends, according to Bryan Cranston:

It's a great story and there are a lot of people who felt that they wanted to see some kind of completion to some of these storylines that were left open [in the series finale]," Cranston said. "This idea, from what I'm told, gets into those — at least a couple of the character show was not completed, as far as their journey.

Cranston, who was appearing on the Dan Patrick Show, confirmed that he would jump at the chance to appear in the movie:

I don't know if there's an appearance — flashbacks, flash forwards — but I'm excited about it because it's Breaking Bad and it was the greatest professional period of my life and I can't wait to see all those people again, even if I just come by to visit.

The new Breaking Bad movie will be written and directed by series creator Vince Gilligan, who is joined again by Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul producers Mark Johnson and Melissa Bernstein.

A release date for the Breaking Bad movie hasn't been announced yet, but we'll keep you updated as we learn more!
