Breaking Bad received widespread critical acclaim during its original run, leading to the spin-off prequel Better Call Saul, and the recently released special El Camino.

And RJ Mitte, who appeared on the show as the namesake son of the show's lead character Walter White (Bryan Cranston) has revealed plans for another spin-off – which would see Walter Jr. take over his late dad's meth empire.

In an interview with The Sun, RJ, 27, revealed that he cooked up the idea himself, and has already pitched it to Break Bad creator Vince Gilligan.

Speaking of his character, RJ said: 'He is his father’s son in a way of his actions and his moralities of what he’s going to do would be right for his family.

'I think for us it would be a very hard life after what Heisenberg did to his family and I think that stigma would carry. But I would like to see Walt Jr. being a gangster.'

Like his character on the hit show, actor RJ has cerebral palsy. He is said to have sought out playing acting opportunities where his disability would educate viewers.

Emmy-winning Breaking Bad ran from 2008 to 2013 and garnered widespread acclaim from both fans and critics around the world.

It followed White, a terminally ill high school chemistry teacher as he created a meth empire with Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul), his former inept student.

In the Breaking Bad series finale, Paul's Pinkman was seen speeding off in a hysterical frenzy in an El Camino after Cranston's Walter saved him from his captors who had enslaved him to produce mass amounts of methamphetamine.

After White rigged a remote-control machine that wiped out the captors, the two partners in crime, who had at that point had fallen out, stared at each other in a tense standoff the resulted in Pinkman refusing White's request for him to kill him.

They eventually parted ways with one last nod of respect to one another.

After years of speculation, it was confirmed in El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie that White, known as the formidable Heisenberg in drug circles, had indeed died.

Series creator, writer and executive producer Vince Gilligan returned to write and direct the two-hour Netflix film El Camino, which followed Pinkman in the aftermath of the series' closeting scenes.

Bob Odenkirk, who played conman-turned-lawyer Saul Goodman on Breaking Bad, has been starring in prequel Better Call Saul since 2015.
