A Fascinating Fan Theory That Suggests ‘Breaking Bad’ is Actually the Prequel to ‘The Walking Dead’

Breaking Bad Prequel to The Walking Dead Prequel

Netflix has animated the fascinating fan theory that suggests suburban schoolteacher turned nefarious drug maker Walter White of Breaking Bad was the originator of the virus that cause the zombie outbreak in the Walking Dead. This prequel theory was first developed from famous easter eggs and intentional nods across the AMC network.

What if Breaking Bad was about more than Walter White starting as a bumbling chemistry teacher and turning himself into a full fledged monster? What if he turned everyone into full fledged monsters? What if Walter White’s Blue Sky methstarted the zombie epidemic of another all time great show: The Walking Dead!
