“Breaking Bad: The Complete Series” release in its entirety for Blu-Ray looks AWESOME. Sony Pictures Home Entertainment announced that the upcoming home entertainment release would feature a 16-disc set with all 62 episodes and more than 55 hours of special features. Also you could stuff a tiny dead body in the decorative barrel case. I mean if that is something you are into.

Some special features fans will be able to enjoy includes more than two-hours of never-before-seen footage in a ground-breaking series documentary which chronicles the making of the final season, from filming the first table read to the very last day on set and everything in between, including Bryan Cranston inviting the camera in to his Albuquerque living room for the first reading of the final script with Aaron Paul. The box set also contains all bonus features from previously released seasons (including retail exclusives formerly only available in select stores), a Los Pollos Hermanos apron and a collectible booklet with a letter from Gilligan, as well as a commemorative “Breaking Bad” challenge coin designed and created by Gilligan exclusively for this set as a token of appreciation to fans.

“Breaking Bad” has been critically acclaimed since its first season. It stars  three-time Emmy winner Bryan Cranston alongside two-time Emmy winner Aaron Paul. The series follows protagonist Walter White (Cranston), a chemistry teacher who lives in New Mexico with his wife (Gunn) and teenage son (Mitte) who has cerebral palsy. White is diagnosed with Stage III cancer and given a slim chance to survive. With a new sense of fearlessness based on his medical prognosis, and a desire to secure his family’s financial security, White chooses to enter a dangerous world of drugs and crime and ascends to power in this world. The series explores how this fatal diagnosis transforms Walt from mild family man to a kingpin of the drug trade.
