The strangely convincing idea that Breaking Bad is a prequel to The Walking Dead – something referred to as “The Breaking Dead Theory” – has been around for a while, leading many to believe Walter White’s Blue Sky meth to be the true cause of the walker outbreak.
The latest episode of The Walking Dead continued to confirm the long-standing theory that the zombie drama is set in the same universe as Breaking Bad.
The Walking Dead continues in the US every Sunday with the UK premiere arriving the following evening on FOX.
It’s the tone that rings when drug distributor Lydia Rodarte-Quale (Laura Fraser) calls creepy Todd (Jesse Plemons) in the series finale. This isn’t the first time Breaking Bad has been referenced in the Walking Dead universe, either.
