Bryan Cranston of AMC's "Breaking Bad" has confirmed that the show's upcoming sixteen episode season will be split into two eight episode sections.
"We're splitting it. We're going to shoot the first eight, then take a four-month production break, then the rest will air next year."
This will be the first sixteen-episode season for the show, which has previously only run for thirteen episodes.
He added details on what viewer's might expect:
"We're cleaning up the pieces from last season's huge ordeal where Gus Fring was forced to meet his maker. It's not as easy as Walter thought. And as we've discovered over the years, you don't really know who Walter White is. I'm still discovering who he is and I'm trying to allow myself to be open to him going darker and darker. There's physical danger to himself and his family, plus there's the emotional danger due to his anger and hubris. It's about the evil that men do and where that takes him."
