Sony is not screwing around. The studio knows they have captured lightning in a bottle with AMC’s Breaking Bad, and less than two months after the final episode airs, the complete series will be released on Bluray November 26th.
From the press release:
Fans who are addicted to the series and itching for another hit can now indulge in more than two-hours of never-before-seen footage in a ground-breaking series documentary exclusively in the box set, which comes packaged in a collectible replica barrel representing part of Walter White’s dark legacy. The all-new documentary chronicles the making of the final season, from filming the first table read to the very last day on set and everything in between, including Bryan Cranston inviting the camera in to his Albuquerque living room for the first reading of the final script with Aaron Paul. The box set also contains all bonus features from previously released seasons (including retail exclusives formerly only available in select stores), a Los Pollos Hermanos apron and a collectible booklet with a letter from Gilligan, as well as a commemorative Breaking Bad challenge coin designed and created by Gilligan exclusively for this set as a token of appreciation to fans for making the Breaking Bad journey.
For at least three seasons now, I have been telling my wife that I can’t wait until the entire series is available to sit down and get lost in. Breaking Bad is a masterpiece; a classic novel told through the medium of television and the brilliance of its creators.
You can pre-order the complete series at Amazon.com.
Here is my review of season five.
As of now, the series only has three episodes left, and if you saw what happened last Sunday, your heart has been in your throat for a whole five days now.
Man alive, what a show — and one like no other in one very important arena: “Breaking Bad” has yet to make a storytelling misstep. Even “The Sopranos,’ “Wire,” and “Shield,” and “Seinfeld” can’t say that.
“Breaking Bad” will not be completely over, though. A spin-off prequel, “Better Call Saul,” is in the works at AMC. Saul is Saul Goodman, the wormy but remarkably competent attorney played so memorably by Bob Odenkirk. Saul is in good hands. “Breaking Bad’s” creator, Vince Gilligan, is behind it.
Below is a list the special features included in the package.
