If you thought the rumors of Vince Gilligan confirming the planned production for Breaking Bad Season 6 were too good to be true, you were right.
It's easy to see how a rumor like this could get started. It's seems like every month we hear about another surprise reprise of a show we once thought was gone for good. Netflix gave us more Arrested Development. The Mindy Project was revived by Hulu. Even Yahoo! TV got in on the action by giving life to Community after it had been dropped from NBC's line-up.
Strangely enough, there's even a result from Amazon that appears to be selling episodes of Breaking Bad, Season 6. When you click the link to try to watch Season 6, it takes you to a page that confusingly lists all of the Season 5 episodes of Breaking Bad as Season 6. When you search Amazon for "breaking bad season 6," the first two products that come up are the digital and physical copies of Breaking Bad, Season 5, listed simply as Breaking Bad: The Final Season. Apparently, both Google and Amazon are confused.
"Walter White is not dead, and neither is Breaking Bad... We've kept it under wraps for months, now the cat's out of the bag. Season 6 is coming, and it's going to be epic and true to the fans that have followed the show so incessantly.But alas, Vince Gilligan was not interviewed by NBC News, and there are no current plans for Breaking Bad, Season 6. Until further notice, fans will have to be content with Season 1-Season 5 of Breaking Bad. But you shouldn't feel bad if you were fooled. A lot of people thought the rumors were true. Even early the next morning, some fans were Tweeting about it:"This isn't a cash-grab or a sophomoric attempt to bastardize what was such a beautiful ending to season 5. I've invested so much of myself in these characters that I'd always had an inkling I'd return to it... Bryan [Cranston] called me up last year and said he had this incredibly lucid dream in which Walt wakes up in a hospital bed surrounded by the DEA."
