Fans are excited about the news that Breaking Bad is returning on television for its sixth season.

A recent Empire News report revealed alleged quotes from the show's creator, Vince Gilligan, saying that AMC has contacted him and admitted that it can't go on with the sole popularity of its other series, 'The Walking Dead.'

"I was contacted by executives from AMC, the network which had been our home for five great seasons. They told me, in no few words, that they couldn't survive as a company on just the strength of The Walking Dead; as good as people think that show is for some reason, as many records as it might break, it doesn't have the viewership or the type of rabid fans that Bad has," Gilligan mentioned.

The article was shared over 150,000 times on Facebook, confirming the liveliness of the of the show's fandom, one year after the series' finale aired.

Unfortunately, the contents of the article were false.

Many had not noticed of the disclaimer on Empire News website, declaring that it is a 'satirical website.'

"We only use invented names in all our stories, except in cases when public figures are being satirized. Any other use of real names is accidental and coincidental," the website's disclaimer stated.
