Netflix has been trying hard to convince people to sign up for its $8 per month paid streaming service for several months now. With the brand investing money in original programming and broadening its film and TV library, it seems like it's on the right track. In that spirit, Netflix is about to add another huge feather in its cap when it posts the remaining finale episodes from AMC's hit drama Breaking Bad on instant-streaming by the end of February.
Breaking Bad, which took home a very well deserved Golden Globe award for Best Drama at the 2013 show. Now it seems that you'll be able to relive all the drama, heartbreak, violence and occasional laughs of the series finale when the final eight episodes of the series go up on Netflix Instant on Feb. 24. As Entertainment Weekly notes, the show ended its five-year run in September and, with the release of these final episodes, will now be available to stream instantly in its entirety.
One could make the argument that Netflix played a key roll in making the Breaking Bad finale one of the most-viewed shows on TV. The streaming service made the first half of the final season available just before the mid-season premiere. This allowed fans who might not have been caught up on the action to get on board before we learned how it would all come to a close.
This isn't the only news regarding Netflix and the storied world created by Bryan Cranston's Walter White character and his meth-cooking empire. The streaming service has signed a deal that will allow it to stream the highly anticipated Breaking Bad spinoff, Better Call Saul, when it debuts on AMC in the fall.
Better Call Saul will focus on Walter White's seedy lawyer played by Bob Odenkirk and will take place before the event so Breaking Bad.
