News Article for Thursday 8th July 2010

The Emmy®-winning and critically acclaimed series returns to DVD on 26th July 2010 when Sony Pictures Home Entertainment releases Breaking Bad: The Complete Second Season. Winner of two Best Actor Emmys® and recently nominated for a SAG award for his role as high school chemistry teacher turned drug kingpin Walter White, Bryan Cranston (TV's "Malcolm in the Middle") stars in Breaking Bad. The edgy thriller also features Anna Gunn (TV's Deadwood), Aaron Paul (TV's Big Love), Dean Norris (Terminator 2: Judgment Day), Betsy Brandt (TV's Back When We Were Grownups), and RJ Mitte.

The second season of the hit series won two Emmys® (Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series, Outstanding Single-camera Picture Editing for a Drama Series). All 13 episodes will be included on the four-disc DVD along with exclusive bonus content, including behind-the-scenes featurettes, deleted scenes, cast and crew commentaries and much more.

Created by acclaimed writer/director/producer Vince Gilligan (an executive producer for TV's The X-Files), who also serves as executive producer alongside Academy Award® winner Mark Johnson (Rain Man, 1988 Best Picture), Breaking Bad follows the story of Walter White (Cranston), a high school chemistry teacher who discovers he is dying of lung cancer. Desperate to secure his family's financial security and to pay for his cancer treatments, he teams with former student Jesse Pinkman (Paul) to turn a used RV into a mobile drug lab.

Walt and Jesse find themselves in even bigger trouble as their partnership reaches new heights and they begin to see the extremes of the drug trafficking business. Money starts rolling in, but it's getting more difficult than ever for Walt to conceal the truth from his wife (Gunn), his son (Mitte) and his DEA agent brother-in-law (Norris). Walt struggles to maintain control of his life as he contends with vicious drug dealers, an increasingly distant wife and son, the impending birth of his daughter, and a strung-out business partner - all while battling terminal lung cancer.
