The stars of Breaking Bad, Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul, are heading to Australia and New Zealand in January 2027.
For five years Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul lived inside them: the chemistry teacher, cooking his way to ruin. The aimless kid, struggling to find his identity. They filmed in the desert, drove home in the dark, and came back the next morning to do it all again. By the end of it they had made something a generation will never let go of – and they had found, in each other, enduring friendship.
For the first time together in Australia, Bryan and Aaron will be on stage together to talk about how the show was made, what it gave to each, and what it took out of them. They will discuss everything Breaking Bad: the writing, the production’s long days, the mistakes, the danger, the scenes that cracked them up with laughter – and the ones that broke them up with despair.
Tickets on presale from 1pm local time today with general on sale from 1pm local time, Friday 2 October 2026.
The New York Times has just placed Breaking Bad as the #1 show of the 21st Century – as voted on by over 500 stars, show-runners, and other notable names.
Breaking Bad made them international stars… but find out what they’re really made of. What drives them? What they advise young artists hoping to have a career in the performing arts. What they enjoy doing when they’re not working. Their personal lives…and if they’ve tried Vegemite!
This is not a panel and not a press tour. It is two extraordinary men, in two ordinary chairs, in an unguarded conversation about the roles that defined a generation, the years that shaped them, and the friendship: improbable, durable, the kind people write about – that has carried them through everything since.
Join them for a talk about their Empire Business. And they’ll be sharing news on their tequila & mezcal, of course!

ABOUT BREAKING BAD:
BREAKING BAD follows protagonist Walter White (Bryan Cranston), a chemistry teacher who lives in New Mexico with his wife (Anna Gunn) and teenage son (RJ Mitte) who has cerebral palsy. White is diagnosed with Stage III cancer and given a prognosis of two years left to live.
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 the world. The series explores how a fatal diagnosis such as White’s releases a typical man from the daily concerns and constraints of normal society and follows his transformation from mild family man to a kingpin of the drug trade.
