That’s right. We have over a year of waiting for the next season of AMC’s series Breaking Bad.

The third season of the show just wrapped up recently (on June 13th, to be exact) and fans were left with an agonizing cliffhanger. Now, with the news that it will be 13 months before the series’ continuation, I can only imagine how frustrated hardcore fans will be.

Series creator Vince Gilligan stated about next season’s schedule: “We’re going to go back on the air in, I think, July of 2011, so it’s a little ways off, but we’ve got a lot of lead time to hopefully make the best show we can make.”

Was Gilligan willing to give away any hints as to what the fourth-season will have in store for our favorite meth manufacturer? No.

He said, “I could be coy and say I can’t say that because it’s top secret, but the truth is I don’t really know yet. We’re going to kind of make it up as we go along.”

I find it oddly comforting that the series writers aren’t even sure yet as to which way Breaking Bad will go…there’s a sort of open freedom in the knowledge that absolutely anything could happen…too bad we won’t find out what the forces behind the show decide on until next year!

So, in the meantime, enter our giveaway to win the first season. You have plenty of time to catch up.
