Final Two Breaking Bad Episodes Have Extended Run Times

A bit more bad for you before the end...

We're getting a little more Breaking Bad than expected. No, there won't be any extra episodes, but the final two episodes of the series will have extended run times. One of the show's writers/executive producers, Peter Gould -- who is developing the Better Call Saul prequel/spinoff with Vince Gilligan -- tweeted about it, with the following.

I checked & it's official. Last 2 #BreakingBad eps are 75 minutes each w/commercials. Set your DVRS accordingly. Better still, watch live!

That likely means the final episodes will be about 60 minutes or so of actual content, with commercials bringing it to 75 minutes. Regardless, I think we'll all take that, right? The producers being allowed to use a bit more screen time for these crucial final episodes of Breaking Bad can only be a good thing.

I checked my own DVR and the additional time was being added automatically, but everyone will want to make sure that's the case for them - and perhaps add on to the recording time either way, just to be safe.

Two to go...
