Sundance Channel has acquired the rights for the off-network premiere of the hit AMC series Breaking Bad, and this week will begin airing the show in its entirety, season one through season four.

Viewers will be able to witness Walter White's dramatic transformation on Breaking Bad from the very beginning through the shocking season four finale, as two back-to-back episodes air every Monday night at 11pm and midnight ET. The series will follow premiere episodes of Sundance Channel original series The Staircase: Last Chance, Top of the Lake and Rectify.

"Breaking Bad' has become a benchmark for storytelling at its finest and we are proud to air this series as we embark on our own scripted programming with the upcoming debut of Rectify, which is produced by the same incredible team behind Breaking Bad," said Sarah Barnett, Sundance Channel's general manager and executive vice president. "We are looking forward to giving viewers another opportunity to catch up with what has been called TV's best drama."

Breaking Bad follows protagonist White, a chemistry teacher who lives in New Mexico with his wife and teenage son, who has cerebral palsy. White is diagnosed with Stage III cancer and given a prognosis of two years left to live. With a new sense of fearlessness based on his medical prognosis, and a desire to secure his family's financial security, White chooses to enter a dangerous world of drugs and crime and ascends to power in that world. The series explores how a fatal diagnosis such as White's releases a typical man from the daily concerns and constraints of normal society and follows his transformation from mild family man to a kingpin of the drug trade.
