The show has been renewed for 16 more episodes- that's the really good news...
Especially since tense contract negotiations between AMC and Sony were getting many people worried that the show would have to shift networks.
And the bad news is that it will be the last 16 episodes the show will ever film- after this current season of 13 episodes of course.
And I say "bad news" because knowing that a great show has an imminent end date is sad. However, there had been talk that creator Vince Gilligan was thinking about the fifth season of the show as being the last.
It will give the show a nice sense of symmetry and also makes sure it ends on a high (creatively, not necessarily plot-wise).
There is also discussion as to whether the final 16 episodes will be split over two seasons, meaning next season will not be the last.
I am leaning towards thinking an epic 16 episode final season is the way to go, but would understand it being split into 8 and 8 episodes- though they would seem extraordinarily short.
Episode 6 of Breaking Bad Season 4 airs today in the US.
How do you feel about this news?
