AMC to air 'Breaking Bad' marathon leading up to Sept. 29 finale

Catch up on every episode of the binge-worthy “Breaking Bad” with AMC’s marathon leading up to the Sept. 29 finale.

Starting at 7 p.m. Wednesday, seasons one through four will run through late night Friday. The marathon picks up again with the fifth and final season at 10 p.m. that Saturday (Sept. 28). Season five will run continuously up to the series ender at 8 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 29.

The final episode will be followed by an expanded hour-long edition of “Talking Bad,” a live after-show hosted by Chris Hardwick. Special guests for the chatfest include series creator Vince Gilligan, Aaron Paul, Jesse Plemmons, RJ Mitte, Giancarlo Esposito, Jonathan Banks and Jimmy Kimmel.

“We want to appropriately honor this remarkable series by delivering the ultimate, most immersive experience for ‘Breaking Bad’ fans,” AMC president Charlie Collier said in an emailed statement. “From a five-day marathon featuring every episode across all five seasons, to an unforgettable finale rolling immediately into an expanded one-hour ‘Talking Bad’ after-show, we are so proud of Vince Gilligan and everyone associated with this show, and believe this is the perfect way to send ‘Breaking Bad’ from our air into television history.”
