Six years after the final season of Breaking Bad came to an end, the series returns for a feature length sequel El Camino, which streams on Netflix from 11 October. Before you catch the film, here’s a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the movie.
While Breaking Bad followed the journey of Walter White from high school chemistry teacher to drug lord, El Camino focusses on his partner in crime Jesse Pinkman. The film picks up where the show left off, right after Jesse escapes imprisonment at a White Supremacist’s meth making compound.
The clip features interviews with Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan, producer Melissa Bernstein and Aaron Paul, who plays Jesse. We also hear from Matt Jones and Charles Baker, who play Jesse’s friends Badger and Skinny Pete in the series. “This is very much a Breaking Bad movie. It feels a bit like old home week, it feels a bit like deja vu. And yet it also feels like something fresh and new. Aaron getting to star in his own movie, the Jesse Pinkman story post Breaking Bad, I’ve been looking forward to doing this for years,” Gilligan says about El Camino.
