New York - March 17, 2022 - AMC announced today that it will air a marathon of the explosive and Emmy Award-winning series Breaking Bad, hailed as "one of the greatest dramas in TV history" (The Hollywood Reporter), for five consecutive weeks beginning Saturday, March 19 at 4:00pm ET/PT, leading up to the sixth and final season of Better Call Saul, which premieres Monday, April 18 at 9pm ET/PT on AMC and AMC+.

Produced by Sony Pictures Television, Breaking Bad follows protagonist Walter White (Bryan Cranston), a chemistry teacher who lives in New Mexico with his wife (Anna Gunn) and teenage son (RJ Mitte) who has cerebral palsy. White is diagnosed with Stage III cancer and given a prognosis of two years left to live. With a new sense of fearlessness based on his medical prognosis, and a desire to secure his family's financial security, White chooses to enter a dangerous world of drugs and crime and ascends to power in the world. The series explores how a fatal diagnosis such as White's releases a typical man from the daily concerns and constraints of normal society and follows his transformation from mild family man to a kingpin of the drug trade.
