WHEN’SITCOMING?13thSeptember2019.BREAKING BAD
WHAT WE KNOW: Written by the show’s^
creator, Vince Gilligan, the spin-off (code-named
Greenbrier) explores what happened next for
Walter White’s sidekick, Jesse (Aaron Paul, right).

showrunner, Neil Cross, is
adapting the crime series into
a film – and that our lives will be
infinitely better when we see DCI John Luther

before, so maybe Alice Morgan (left, played

be led astray by his dubious moral compass, all
while wearing a seasonally appropriate coat.
