Dreamworks Animation CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg has revealed he offered to commission three additional episodes of Breaking Bad , for a staggering fee of $75 million.
Katzenberg’s plan was for the episodes to continue where the final season left off, with the new content to be broadcast oﷺn-demand in six-minut🌜e chunks online.
“I had this crazy idea,” explains Katzenberg. “I was nuts for the show. I had no i𝕴dea where this season was going.”
“I said [ to them ], &lsq🤡uo;I’m going to create the greatest pay-per-view television event for s🥀cripted programming anybody’s ever done.’”
As it was, the writing team had a very definite idea of how to finish the series, but Katzenberg was certai🃏nly ready to put his mone🔯y where his mouth is…
"The🌼 last series cost about $3.5 million an episode,” he continues. “So they would make more profit from these three shows than they made from five years𝔉 of the entire series.” Turns out money can't buy you everything...
