Breaking Bad Binge Event Announced For August

AMC has announced the Breaking Bad binge event, during which the network will air every episode of the Emmy-winning series in chronological order, from pilot to finale, on Sunday nights from 5 p.m. to 1 a.m. ET/PT. The event will begin August 10 and finish October 5.

Each episode will be preceded by never-before-aired behind-the-scenes footage and interviews with the cast and crew, including an inside look at the making of each episode. AMC will also engage fans on social media with custom social graphics and content, including episode and season badges, character quote cards and iconic moments. They're also partnering with Facebook to give fans a look at the evolution of the Breaking Bad Facebook community, which is 10,000 users strong and growing, and how Walter White's alter ego, "Heisenberg," became a social media trend.

Additionally, AMC will be launching the Breaking Bad Binge Companion via Story Sync. Every Sunday night, AMC.com will release a new Companion with 40-50 pieces of content that coincides with Sunday's batch of episodes, including trivia questions, polls on fan-favorite through-lines throughout the series, graphics on the science of the show, freeze frames of key moments in each episode, memorable one-liners from the characters, video replays and webisodes.

Breaking Bad is one of the most critically acclaimed television series in modern television. Created by Vince Gilligan, the series follows the story of a desperate man who turns to a life of crime to secure his family's financial future. The show stars Bryan Cranstron as Walter White and Aaron Paul as Jesse Pinkman.
