The appearances will mark the first time the two actors have shared a stage together in Australia for a dedicated conversation about the series, according to the event description published by the Brisbane Entertainment Centre.
The program is expected to look back at the show’s writing, production and demanding filming schedule, as well as the scenes that shaped Walter White and Jesse Pinkman’s relationship.
The conversation will also move beyond the AMC drama, with the actors expected to discuss their lives away from acting, advice for emerging performers and the friendship that continued after the show’s 2013 finale.

What the Breaking Bad reunion will cover
Cranston played Walter White, a high school chemistry teacher who becomes involved in methamphetamine production after a cancer diagnosis.
Paul portrayed Jesse Pinkman, White’s former student and business partner.
The series ran for five seasons from 2008 to 2013 and became one of the defining television dramas of its era.
Cranston won four Primetime Emmy Awards for his performance as White, while Paul won three for his role as Pinkman.
The actors later extended their professional partnership beyond television by becoming co-founders of Dos Hombres, a mezcal brand.
Their business relationship is expected to be part of the broader discussion during the live appearances.
The format is being promoted as an unguarded conversation rather than a traditional fan convention panel.
Organizers say the evening will include stories about the show’s desert locations, long production days, mistakes, difficult scenes and moments that brought the cast together.
Tickets and dates for the 2027 appearances
Presale access began on September 30, 2026, with general ticket sales scheduled to follow on October 2.
The event listings identify the Brisbane performance as a 7:30 p.m. show, although start times may vary by venue.
Official venue listings confirm the Sydney appearance for January 25, 2027, at the TikTok Entertainment Centre.
For Canadian fans, the announcement is a reminder that the reunion is currently scheduled as an Australia and New Zealand engagement rather than a North American tour.
No Canadian dates have been announced in the available event listings.
Cranston remains active at 70
The live tour comes as Cranston continues to take on screen, stage and public appearances.
In an interview published after his appearance at ArtPrize in Grand Rapids, Michigan, the actor said he has no intention of retiring from acting and writing.
Cranston also returned to one of his earlier signature roles in Malcolm in the Middle: Life’s Still Unfair, a four-part revival that premiered in April 2026.
He reprised Hal alongside Frankie Muniz and Jane Kaczmarek.
For Paul and Cranston, the Australia and New Zealand engagement offers a chance to revisit the most important work of their careers without presenting it as a new season or sequel.
The planned conversations will instead focus on the making of Breaking Bad and what happened to the people who made it after the cameras stopped rolling.
