We're all sad to see the end of the acclaimed show "Breaking Bad" just around the corner. Six seasons of unbeatable drama with a unique story line have left all true fans attached to the lives of these intriguing drug dealers and their families. So what's in store for the characters we've grown to love after AMC ends the series?

Bryan Cranston is the lead for a reason. His Walter White persona has gotten him the most exposure out of all his cast mates and now Cranston is set to star in at least three feature length films post "Breaking Bad." One very anticipated film is "Trumbo," a film in which Cranston will play Dalton Trumbo, a screen writer who won two Academy Awards whilst being blacklisted by Hollywood for his alleged affiliation with the Communist Party. After watching Cranston do so well as Walter White, this role of the intelligent outlaw seems like a good fit.

Aaron Paul has definitely earned a place in our heart as druggie-turned-drug dealer Jesse Pickman. Paul showcased his stellar acting abilities through his easy adaptation to the capricious ways to Pinkman's characters, and it seems to have paid off. Aaron Paul is now set to feature in at least three films post Breaking Bad, with a rumored role in the blockbuster movie "Exodus." Fingers crossed that this rumor is actually true!

Anna Gunn has also played a pivotal role as Walter White's wife, Skylar. Gunn has beautifully portrayed the role of the loving, but smart and independent wife and it has gotten her noticed by Fox TV studies who have just contracted her to play "Rita" in their new show, also entitled Rita. But with Gunn's theatrical past, we predict her "Breaking Bad" fame will also land her back on the stage. 

R.J. Mitte made his television debut with as Walter White Jr., and it was definitely a good move. Since starting Breaking Bad, the actor has gotten into modeling and is contracted to star in a feature length film entitled "The Devil's Ink" in 2014. Once the series is officially over, you can surely expect to see more of the actor, whether it be in magazines, or on the screen.  

So no need to fret, all of your favorite "Breaking Bad" actors can be seen at a theater near you in the upcoming years!
