Breaking Bad film release date, cast, trailer, plot: All we know about El Camino

Breaking Bad may have come to an end in 2013, but that was not the last that fans would see of the beloved characters. Now, Netflix has unveiled a new film set in Walter White’s universe called El Camino. Set to reunite some of the key members of the original series, the thriller will tell the story of what happened after the dramatic finale of season five.

When is El Camino released on Netflix?

Over the past few months, information has been shrouded in secrecy around the possibility of a Breaking Bad film.

In fact, Better Call Saul actor Bob Odenkirk only revealed it had actually been filmed last week in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter.

Now, Netflix has finally announced that not only is it coming but it will be unveiled sooner than you think.

Along with the release of a new trailer, it was revealed the thriller will be released on the streaming platform on October 11.

There is no information yet about whether it will get a cinematic release as some other Netflix films have.

However, Jesse was seen driving away from the scene – and now it seems viewers will find out what happened next.

The official synopsis reads: “In the wake of his dramatic escape from captivity, Jesse must come to terms with his past in order to forge some kind of future.”

From what is revealed in the trailer, it seems like Jesse is on the run while the police are actively trying to look for him.
