'Breaking Bad' Season 5 News: Last Two Episodes 'Messier' Than Before & Extended to 75 Minutes Long [VIDEO]
Fans of Breaking Bad can expect the final two episodes of Breaking Bad to be even crazier than anything that has come before on the show.
Aaron Paul, who plays Jesse Pinkman on the show, was on Jimmy Kimmel Live Wednesday night and told the host about the intensity of the last two episodes of the AMC series.
"You know this last week's episode was pretty messy," Paul quipped. "The final two episodes are so much more messier." When Kimmel asked how that could possibly be, Paul was tight-lipped.
Sunday's episode featured numerous shocking events that will undoubtedly have long lasting effects on the series' characters, including the death of Hank (Dean Norris) mere moments after arresting Walt (Bryan Cranston). Walt and Skyler (Anna Gunn) had their biggest blowout to date, with Skyler pulling a knife on Walt and getting into a physical altercation before Walt drove away with little Holly.
Jesse was also taken hostage by the Neo-Nazis and held in their basement where he was subsequently beaten into submission. None of the main characters were in a good place after the events of Sunday's episode, so Paul's comments suggest even more craziness to come.
In order to contain the "messiness," it was announced Wednesday that the last two episodes of the series would be 75 minutes long as opposed to the usual hour-long episodes. Peter Gould, who wrote and directed the penultimate episode, tweeted Wednesday that both episodes would be extended to 75 minutes.
"I checked & it's official," Gould tweeted. "Last 2 #BreakingBad eps are 75 minutes each w/commercials. Set your DVRS accordingly. Better still, watch live!"
The penultimate episode of Breaking Bad is scheduled to air Sunday from 9 p.m. - 10:15 p.m. on AMC.
