Breaking Bad will not return for another season. Rumors about a “Season 6” are fake and were published by satirical news websites.
The latest bogus report was posted on Empire News, and it reads: “If you were are fan of the hit AMC TV show Breaking Bad, then I hope you’re sitting down for this news. Vince Gilligan, the creator of the much-loved series, has announced that on top of working on creating spin-off series Better Call Saul, he and his writers have begun working on a sixth season for Breaking Bad.”
The bogus report also includes fake quotes from Gilligan.
According to a disclaimer, Empire News doesn’t publish real news stories.
“Empire News is a satirical and entertainment website. We only use invented names in all our stories, except in cases when public figures are being satirized. Any other use of real names is accidental and coincidental,” it reads.
The bogus article had hundreds of thousands of shares and “likes” on Facebook.
A few months ago, another satirical website, National Report, published a similar article saying Gilligan confirmed another season.
That article also was being shared this week--also with hundreds of thousands of “likes.”
According to a now-removed disclaimer, the National Report is fake and shouldn’t be taken seriously.
