Breaking Bad News of the Day

AMC's hit series Breaking Bad will reportedly air the final season in two parts: eight episodes this summer, and the rest in 2013.

"We're splitting it," said Bryan Cranston, who plays Walter White. "We're going to shoot the first eight, then take a four-month production break, then the rest will air next year."

The network has not commented on how it plans to air Season 5, but the cast has said the show will be returning this July.
