Aaron Paul Exposes Lack of Netflix Residuals for ‘Breaking Bad’

In a surprising revelation, Aaron Paul, known for his iconic role as Jesse Pinkman in the acclaimed AMC series Breaking Bad, disclosed that he does not receive compensation for the show’s streams on Netflix despite its sustained popularity on the platform.

The actor made this startling statement while participating in the SAG-AFTRA picket line outside Sony Pictures Studios, where fellow cast members, including Jesse Plemons and Bryan Cranston, joined him. Paul said, “I don’t get a piece from Netflix on Breaking Bad, to be honest, and that’s insane.” He expressed his belief that many streaming services have bneglectedtheir responsibility to provide fair wages to talent, emphasizing that it is high time they rectify this situation.

Cranston chimed in, highlighting that the cast chose to gather at the picket line outside Sony due to the studio’s involvement in Breaking Bad, its Better Call Saul spinoff, and the Netflix movie El Camino. He clarified, “We’re not making them the enemy. They are not villains. We will all be working with these people again at some point. We just want them to see reality.”

Paul’s revelation comes from Grey’s Anatomy star Ellen Pompeo’s public call-out of Netflix for failing to compensate actors with residuals when a show is streamed on the platform.
