If you’re still missing Breaking Bad since it came to an end, the good news is that the Latin American remake, Metastasis, is a step closer.

And following on from the teaser trailer for the series which was released last autumn, a much longer preview of the show has now surfaced which shows some remarkable similarities to its US counterpart.

The six-minute clip shows Diego Trujillo as Walter White’s Latin American equivalent Walter Blanco, going on a personal journey from chemistry teacher to cancer-afflicted drug dealer – as per the original.

Meanwhile Jesse – now known as Jose (Robert Urbina) – also features prominently as the story unfolds.




Fans will also note that the characters and plot aren’t the only familiar things about the remake, which also features identical titles to the US version.

Alex Marin, senior vice president of distribution in Latin America for Sony Pictures Television, said: ‘Metástasis is masterfully complex and irresistibly compelling. We are sure the show can bring the audiences and acclaim garnered by the US series to broadcasters in Latin America.’

Metastasis will be aired later this year, although the date has yet to be confirmed.
