Today's announcement also reveals a brand new trailer for the series. Click on the video player below to watch this first glimpse at Breaking Bad Season Four.
Breaking Bad Season 4 Trailer
Over three seasons, Breaking Bad has been heralded as one of the best TV dramas on television. The San Francisco Chronicle hailed "the writing is among the very elite in television," with others calling the show "mesmerizing" (LA Times), "still TV's best" (Newsday) and a drama that has the "jarring feel of a Tarantino film" (Variety).
Leading into season four's highly anticipated premiere, fans will have a chance to catch up on Breaking Bad as all episodes from season three will be available On Demand beginning Monday, June 20 through Sunday, July 17. In addition, AMC will air every episode from seasons one through three in late night, beginning Tuesday, July 5. Breaking Bad: The Complete Third Season will be released to Blu-ray and DVD on Tuesday, June 7 packed with special features, including deleted scenes, outtakes, cast and crew commentaries, plus five all-new behind-the-scenes featurettes, and much more.
Breaking Bad season four will also be complemented by a variety of exclusive material on AMCTV.com. Among the special digital content is "Inside Breaking Bad" videos for each episode, behind-the-scenes clips throughout the season, and videos of the season's most "Talked About Scenes." The site will also feature a new iteration of its interactive graphic novel, starring Aaron Paul's character Jesse Pinkman, and an interactive case file - with photos, text and video - that allows visitors to sift through the same crime scene evidence that DEA agent Hank Schrader (Dean Norris) sees and reviews.
Filmed on location in Albuquerque, NM, Breaking Bad stars 2008, 2009 and 2010's Emmy Award winner for Outstanding Lead Actor Bryan Cranston as Walter White; 2010 Emmy winner for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series Aaron Paul as Jesse Pinkman; Anna Gunn as Skyler White; Dean Norris as Hank Schrader; Betsy Brandt as Marie Schrader; RJ Mitte as Walter, Jr; Bob Odenkirk as Saul Goodman; Giancarlo Esposito as Gus Fring; and Jonathan Banks as Mike.
Breaking Bad has garnered a total of six Emmy Award wins and 16 nominations. In addition to wins for Cranston and Aaron Paul, the series won Outstanding Single-Camera Picture Editing for a Drama Series for Lynne Willingham (2008, 2009). Additional Emmy nominations include: Outstanding Drama Series (2009, 2010); Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series for Vince Gilligan (2008) and Michelle McLaren (2010); Outstanding Cinematography for a One-Hour Series for Michael Slovis (2009, 2010) and John Toll (2008); Outstanding Single-Camera Picture Editing for a Drama Series for Skip McDonald (2010); and Outstanding Sound Editing for a Series (2010).
Breaking Bad has garnered a Peabody Award (2008), a Writer's Guild Award for Vince Gilligan's work on the pilot episode, two American Cinema Editors (ACE) Awards, and been named to the American Film Institute's (AFI) list of the "Top 10 Programs of the Year" (2008, 2010).

I can't wait to see the aggressive Mr. White unleashed...ugh just a few more days but the wait is driving me crazy. Like everyone else, I have been frustrated by how long they took to come out with Season 4, but if it means they spent extra time making it the best BB season ever, then I'm sure by July 18 I will have no complaints
The extended trailer sure is enough promise to make me hopeful that it will indeed continue to build on everything...and again, the idea of Walter White going on the offensive is enticing.
Oh also, gotta love the fact that they used Middle Distance Runner's "Brother John" in the extended trailer, really added such a cool eery vibe to it. Here's to a great season, and more to come after!

It's a pity they couldn't show any new footage, as every inch of this trailer is from earlier seasons, dialogue included.

I was drawn towards the gritty emotion that Cranston purveyed in just the first 2 episodes of season one and I've been hooked since, but I don't plan on being a couch potato this summer. I just got a free Sling Adapter from my job at DISH Network and now I can watch all the programming I'm subscribed to as it airs on my Android or my iPad2. The most refreshing part of it is that there isn't a monthly fee for having the ultimate way to keep a social life this summer and not miss a breaking moment of Breaking Bad. http://goo.gl/Qsggz

I really hope somebody offs the wife this year. The actress does a good job but I hate the character and everything she does to Walt.
