Breaking Bad will not return until July 2011. Ineligible for next years Emmy's.

AMC has announced that 'Breaking Bad' will not return for it's 4th season until July 2011.  As a result the show will not be eligible for next year’s Emmy Awards.

AMC plans to put up mini-episodes on the web early next year to bridge the gap.  "I, for one, am eager to make these little interstitials important," Bryan Cranston says. "I don't want them to be simply filler or recap, but something that actually moves the storyline forward. If we're going to do it, it ought to be a real part of the larger show."

"I think what AMC is thinking here is there will be less competition for us -- particularly from the broadcast networks -- if we launch our season during the summer than if we come back again like we did this time in March," Cranston said.
