'Breaking Bad' Debuts Teaser for Final Episodes

The promo video features green smoke and a
cryptic tagline, 'All Bad things must come to an
end.'
To tide fans
over the
midseason
premiere of
"Breaking
Bad" fifth
and last
season, AMC
unleashes
the first
teaser for
the final
episodes. The
promo video
doesn't share
any footage
from the show, but features smoke on a green
background and a man saying in voiceover,
"All Bad things must come to an end."
The same cryptic tagline will appear Monday
on billboards in New York and Los Angeles. The
billboard doesn't even mention the show's
title, but includes the show's logo which is the
"Ba" symbol from the periodic table of the
chemical elements, and the premiere date of
the final episodes. The video teaser,
meanwhile, will be released on air next week.
The final eight episodes of the crime drama
series will begin airing Sunday, August 11 at 9
P.M. ET/PT on AMC. The cable channel has
announced an accompanying half-hour talk
show, "Talking Bad", that will air live following
each new "Breaking Bad" episode.
Series creator Vince Gilligan dishes on the
ending without spilling any details, "There's
not much in the way of ambiguity with this
ending." He promises, "People won't be left
scratching their chins and saying, 'I wonder
what's happening here.' It doesn't have to be
happy or sad or anywhere in between. What
mattered most to us was that the ending
satisfy."
Of a possible spin-off centering on Bob
Odenkirk's shady criminal lawyer Saul
Goodman, he recently said, "Nothing's written
in stone, but we are working away on it."
