Breaking Bad 2 (2025): The Truth Behind the Rumors of a Sequel with Bryan Cranston, Aaron Paul, and Betsy Brandt

In recent months, rumors have been spreading like wildfire online about a supposed sequel titled Breaking Bad 2, allegedly set for release in 2025. Fans around the world were thrilled by the idea of Bryan Cranston (Walter White), Aaron Paul (Jesse Pinkman), and Betsy Brandt (Marie Schrader) returning to the gritty universe created by Vince Gilligan. But is there any truth to these reports?

✅ What We Can Confirm:

As of now, there has been no official announcement from AMC, Sony Pictures Television, or Vince Gilligan regarding a Breaking Bad 2 film or series. Numerous misleading fan-made trailers and posters have flooded YouTube, Facebook, and other social platforms, tricking many into believing a sequel is in the works. However, these are not official teasers or promotional materials.

As Screenrant clearly stated:

“Simply put, the poster is fake. There is no Breaking Bad movie coming in 2024, nor is there one currently planned at any point in the future.”

Vince Gilligan himself, the creator of Breaking Bad, has publicly stated he has no plans to return to the Breaking Bad universe after the conclusion of Better Call Saul.

“I don’t want to overstay my welcome,” Gilligan told popculture.com, confirming that he wants to move on to new creative projects.

✘ The Betsy Brandt Confusion:

A wave of social media posts and videos have falsely claimed that Betsy Brandt is reprising her role as Marie Schrader in Breaking Bad 2. These claims are entirely unsubstantiated.

According to reliable sources like IMDb, Brandt is currently involved in other projects, including The Bad Orphan (a Lifetime original) and a guest appearance in Law & Order: SVU. No credible outlet has linked her to any Breaking Bad-related sequel.

Reddit and Facebook have seen dozens of fan-edited videos promoting her return — but again, these are fan fiction at best, not factual announcements.

📌 Conclusion:

There is no official Breaking Bad 2 in development.
All the supposed trailers, posters, and articles promoting a 2025 sequel are fan-made creations with no backing from AMC, Sony, or Vince Gilligan.

The rumor mill has been working overtime, but the reality is simple:

• Vince Gilligan has closed the chapter on the Breaking Bad universe.

• Betsy Brandt is not involved in any Breaking Bad-related projects.

• Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul are not signed on for any new installments.

🎥 If You’re Craving More Breaking Bad…

You can watch El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie (2019), the only official sequel to Breaking Bad, which follows Jesse Pinkman’s journey after escaping captivity.
This film, written and directed by Vince Gilligan, is available to stream on Netflix and has been widely praised by fans and critics alike.

“El Camino gave us the closure we needed. I’d love more, but I also respect Vince for not milking it.” – @HeisenbergFan96 on Twitter

“Breaking Bad 2 would be amazing, but I doubt they could top the original. I think it’s better to leave it legendary.” – Comment on YouTube trailer (unofficial)

“We want more Jesse! But only if Gilligan is behind it.” – Facebook comment on a fan-made poster

📺 What’s Next for Vince Gilligan?

Rather than revisiting the past, Gilligan is focused on a new original series for Apple TV+, described as a “blended genre drama” with Rhea Seehorn (Kim Wexler from Better Call Saul) in a lead role. This project promises something fresh and entirely unrelated to the world of drug empires and criminal masterminds.

While the idea of Breaking Bad 2 might be exciting for longtime fans, it’s important to separate fact from fiction. For now, it remains a dream project imagined by fans, not a reality supported by the show’s creators or producers. And perhaps, in the world of Breaking Bad, some stories are better left finished.

Let the legend remain untouched.
