Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul are being re-incarnated Korean style and Breaking Bad is turning into a Korean drama series, reportedly offering up four seasons and set to be directed by Lee Chang Yeol.
The show is based on high school chemistry teacher, Walter White, who gets diagnosed with cancer and joins the meth making business in order to pay his bank-breaking medical bills.
Years after the original smash hit series ended after five seasons and 16 Primetime Emmy Awards, Comicbook.com has reported that a Korean series is being developed, although no actors have been cast yet and little is known about the production. All of the K-drama’s scripts for the first season are thought to have been completed.
According to a report by Hankyeoreh, Park Bum-Hoon from the production company JP E&M announced that the upcoming remake will be directed by Lee Chang-Yeol.
However, there is definitely no chance of a return from Cranston's White. During an interview with Extra, he said: "He’s officially hanging up the yellow lab coat. This might be the retiring episode of the Breaking Bad universe.”
Cranston added: “I’ve had opportunities to bring Walter White into the milieu.
“I did it for Aaron’s movie El Camino and then once again for Better Call Saul we were able to come back and each time, we think, ‘We’ll this is the last time we’re ever going to do this and then PopCorners calls and it was like, ‘Well we’ll do it one more time.’”
Here's more about Cranston recently revisiting his character in a Super Bowl advert for the snack.
