"Breaking Bad" was a well-crafted and well-received show, which is why many viewers and fans were saddened when it had to end. However, many also realized that the ending was just timely for an awesome show like "Breaking Bad." Ending it early while the show was at its peak was better than ending it on a lower note.
While many have accepted and moved on from "Breaking Bad," a report surfaced that there would be a Season 6. The first report came out back in August. The National Report published an article saying that "Breaking Bad" would have a sixth season, and that Walter didn't really die in the last episode. But later, the story was proven to be a fabricated story, a lie, a hoax.
Two months later, a similar report surfaced. This time, it was from Empire News. The story was actually made better, even including what was claimed as quotes from actor Bryan Cranston and creator Vince Gilligan.
"I was contacted by executives from AMC, the network which had been our home for five great seasons. They told me, in no few words, that they couldn't survive as a company on just the strength of The Walking Dead; as good as people think that show is for some reason, as many records as it might break, it doesn't have the viewership or the type of rabid fans that Bad has," Gilligan allegedly said.
"I loved playing Walter, and I was glad to jump at the chance to do it one more time. We have a lot of things happening in this last season – not giving too much away, obviously Walter didn't die," the report claimed Cranston as saying.
The two quotes sound very realistic and true, but sorry to burst the fans' bubble, it's all a hoax. Empire News is a satirical site that makes a living out of creating falsified stories. It's actually what they're known for. Additionally, the article has a disclaimer below stating that public figures were satirized and names were invented.
The article got more than 150,000 shares on Facebook alone. This just proves how many people believed the story. More than that, this shows how many people actually failed to read the disclaimer.
Well, there won't be "Breaking Bad" season 6 and the report isn't true. But if one can't really move on yet, they can treat themselves to "Better Call Saul," a spin-off of the show. It will hit Netflix and AMC on Feb. 2015.
