"El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie" – Bryan Cranston Talks Heisenberg Return [VIDEO]

With Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould's Breaking Bad prequel/sequel/parallel series Better Call Saul set to return for a fifth season with two-part premiere on Monday, February 23, and Monday, February 24, AMC's been running a "Breaking Bad universe" marathon on Sundays to mark the occasion. Which brings us to this Sunday, February 16 – that's when the final season of Breaking Bad gets its binge marathon – with the special cable network debut of El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie. Originally airing on Netflix in October 2019, the film focuses on what happened to Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) after the credits rolled on "Felina" and asks an important question: will Jesse be a victim of the past, or can he carve out a new future for himself?
