The title for the new Breaking Bad film has been revealed, ahead of its arrival on Netflix in October.
El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie sees Aaron Paul return as crystal meth cook Jesse Pinkman, who has escaped from a Nazi meth gang and is “coming to terms with his past in order to forge some kind of future”, according to the streaming service.
It is not clear whether Bryan Cranston will return as Walter White, a chemistry teacher who turns to drug dealing after being diagnosed with lung cancer.
Cranston – who won an Emmy for outstanding lead actor in a drama series four times in the role – revealed the project in November following reports that show creator Vince Gilligan was working on a script.
He told NBC at the time: “I honestly have not even read the script. I have not gotten the script, I have not read the script. So there’s the question of whether or not we’ll even see Walter White in this movie.”

White was an ailing chemistry teacher when the series premiered in 2008, but over the course of its five-season run he transformed into a feared drug dealer known as Heisenberg.
The series finale in 2013 became one of the most-watched cable shows in US TV history, with plenty more glued to their screens in the UK.

Gilligan has already co-created the popular spin-off series Better Call Saul, which is set before Breaking Bad and focuses on conman turned lawyer Jimmy McGill.
El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie will arrive on Netflix on 11 October.
