Jesse Pinkman might have cooked a fair deal of meth in his day, but he’s still a pretty popular character.

For those who haven’t watched Breaking Bad, we won’t give too much away, but fans of the show often wonder what happened to Aaron Paul’s character.

That seems to be the central question of El Camino, although we will have to wait until October to find out.

Via the BBC, here’s more:

Netflix teased fans with a trailer for the film and tweeted it will be on the streaming service on 11 October.

It will see Aaron Paul returning as crystal meth cook Jesse Pinkman and it has been written by the show’s creator, Vince Gilligan.

We still don’t know if Bryan Cranston, who played Walter White, will return to star in the film.

Earlier this week Bob Odenkirk, who plays lawyer Saul Goodman in the series, revealed the whole movie had already been shot.

Looks like they got the whole team back together, then.

I’m sure there will be another, more informative trailer coming soon, but here’s what we have for now:

Not a great deal has been given away there, although Netlix has offered up some clues.

By the way, if you haven’t watched the series, there are some spoilers from here on out:

According to Netflix, El Camino will see Jesse escape from captivity and “come to terms with his past in order to forge some kind of future”…

It’s reportedly a sequel to the series. A prequel, Better Call Saul, has already run for four seasons on Netflix and a fifth is planned for next year…

Actor Aaron Paul certainly hinted to Variety magazine he’d be involved, pointing out “in case you haven’t caught up on the TV series, Walter dies, so it has to star Jesse.

“When it comes together I’d love to be a part of it. I would love to do it.”

A bigger question is whether Bryan Cranston will return as Walter White – despite him and Aaron posting the single word “soon” on social media at the same time in July.

Bryan’s Breaking Bad character might be dead in the series but he’s told Entertainment Tonight, “rigor mortis has a way of allowing that to happen”.

“Could be in a flashback, or a flash forward. I’m still dead, Walter White, I don’t know what could happen.”

Come on – there is no way they revisit Breaking Bad and Walter White doesn’t feature in some way.

It’s happening.

Let’s just hope they don’t mess with the storyline too much, because the original series was one helluva ride.
