In a superb move, Netflix UK & Ireland have bagged a deal to air the final eight episodes of hit US TV drama BREAKING BAD in the UK, right after its domestic airing on AMC. The show returns to the channel on August 11th at 9PM ET (2AM BST). Netflix/ AMC did a similar thing with THE KILLING, which proved to be very successful.
“Netflix has been instrumental in making Breaking Bad the success that it is,” says creator Vince Gilligan.
“I am delighted that fans [in the UK] will be able to enjoy the end of Breaking Bad on Netflix so soon after it airs in the US.” He added.
Now, will they do the same with the upcoming season of THE WALKING DEAD. I’m guessing not due to its deal with UK cable channels, but we can hope, right?
