Breaking Bad And The Walking Dead Are Connected, Here's How

Ever since The Walking Dead first aired in 2010, the creative minds at AMC had been quietly sowing seeds that connected the zombie series with another AMC success story, Breaking Bad. So, what does Walter White's meth-infused power trip have to do with surviving the end of the world?

Ever since the spinoff series of Fear the Walking Dead arrived on the scene, it's been clear that The Walking Dead universe was more than just a single show set between Atlanta and Washington D.C.

This was confirmed when AMC Network CEO Josh Sapan announced in early September 2018 that the folks at AMC had plans for the universe that extended, quote, "over the next decade plus."

While this may have seemed odd in the shadow of the show's faltering ratings at the time, it kind of makes sense.

The idea of a long term goal that spans beyond the scope of a single film or series is par for the course in Hollywood. Cross-pollinating universes is totally in these days, so a connection between AMC shows is hardly surprising.

What's a bit more interesting, though, is the not-quite-confirmed larger crossover that integrates Breaking Bad into The Walking Dead universe, a phenomenon fondly nicknamed the "Breaking Dead Theory."

It's been loosely confirmed by showrunner Dave Erickson, and here's the skinny on how the two shows line up.
