The film reunites the original creative team including series creator Vince Gilligan and picks up immediately after the events of the series finale. The official synopsis released by Netflix states that:
“In the wake of his dramatic escape from captivity, Jesse must come to terms with his past in order to forge some kind of future.”
The film will be released both in limited theaters and on Netflix on October 11, along with airings on original network AMC in the future (the dates have not yet been released but it is expected to premiere early in 2020.)
Breaking Bad originally aired for five seasons on AMC and starred Bryan Cranston as Walter White, a high school teacher whose terminal cancer diagnosis starts his journey into becoming a major drug kingpin in New Mexico. Paul starred as Jesse Pinkman, a former student of Walt’s who ends up partnering with him in his scheme to sell pharmaceutical grade methamphetamine. Breaking Bad won 16 Primetime Emmy Awards, including Paul’s three wins for his performance as Jesse Pinkman.
El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie premieres on Netflix and select theaters on October 11.
