SHARE Happy holidays: AMC to air ‘Breaking Bad’ and ‘Walking Dead’ marathons

In “Breaking Bad” withdrawal? Want to lurch into the New Year with zombies?

AMC announced Thursday it will air two back-to-back marathons of both popular dramas.

A four-day “Breaking Bad” marathon, which kicks off at 11 a.m. (CT) each day from Friday, December 27 through Monday, December 30, will feature every episode from the Emmy Award-winning series’ five seasons. (AMC notes that it’s the only destination for cable subscribers to watch every “Breaking Bad” episode for free.)

On December 31 at 8 a.m. (CT), AMC will air a two-day marathon of “The Walking Dead.” Beginning with the incredible pilot (one of the most compelling pilots I’ve ever seen), episodes will air back-to-back in chronological order until 4 a.m. (CT) January 2, 2014.
