Aaron Paul Reveals Lack of ‘Breaking Bad’ Residuals from Netflix Amid Strike

In a surprising revelation, renowned actor Aaron Paul has brought to light the absence of residuals from the hit TV series “Breaking Bad” as it streams on Netflix. Paul, who portrayed the iconic character Jesse Pinkman for five seasons and reprised his role in the Netflix original sequel film “El Camino,” shared his concerns during a recent interview while participating in the SAG-AFTRA strike alongside fellow cast members Bryan Cranston and Jesse Plemons.

Speaking candidly to Entertainment Tonight Canada, Aaron Paul expressed his astonishment at not receiving any compensation from Netflix for the continuous streaming of “Breaking Bad.” He candidly stated, “I don’t get a piece from Netflix on ‘Breaking Bad,’ to be totally honest, and that’s insane to me, you know what I mean.”

Paul’s comments highlight the evolving landscape of the entertainment industry, where the longevity of shows on streaming platforms can lead to substantial profits for these platforms. As he pointed out, “Shows live forever on these streamers and it goes through waves.” Recently, “Breaking Bad” resurged in popularity on Netflix, underscoring the enduring appeal of the series.

Aaron Paul’s revelation is part of a broader conversation within the entertainment industry, particularly among actors and creators, regarding fair compensation in the age of streaming services. He emphasized the need for streaming platforms to acknowledge their responsibility and fair treatment of those involved in creating the content that attracts viewers.

Paul’s sentiments resonate with many in the industry who believe that streaming platforms have, at times, avoided paying equitable wages to artists and creators. He asserted, “I think a lot of these streamers, they know they have been getting away with not paying people just a fair wage, and now it’s time to pony up, and that’s just one of the things we’re fighting for.”

Aaron Paul’s stance on fair compensation aligns with the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike, which commenced in July following unsuccessful contract negotiations with major Hollywood studios. Actors participating in the strike are advocating for increased pay and fair residuals, which have seen a decline with the growing prominence of streaming services in the industry.

Aaron Paul’s revelation regarding the absence of residuals from “Breaking Bad” on Netflix underscores the evolving dynamics of the entertainment industry. As streaming platforms continue to gain prominence, discussions surrounding fair compensation for those involved in creating content are becoming increasingly vital. Paul’s outspoken stance adds to the growing chorus of voices advocating for equitable treatment and compensation for artists and creators in the digital age of entertainment.
