Bradley Walsh fans were previously dealt a major blow amid news his show Breaking Dad won’t be returning to TV screens in 2024.
The TV favourite stars in the popular travel series with his son Barney as the pair travel across the world and take on new challenges. In the most recent series, Brad and Barney set out across South America. But in a gutting blow to viewers, a new series in 2024 will not be happening.
However, a sixth series is going ahead! We just need to wait a while…
Bradley Walsh fans issued sad news
Both Brad and Barney are both booked and busy which means, sadly, there’s no time to film a new series of Breaking Dad any time soon.
A source told The Sun late last year that a sixth series had been confirmed. However, it’ll be a while till we see it.
“They’re thrilled to be back together for a sixth series of Breaking Dad, where they genuinely have as much fun as it looks on screen.” The insider then claimed the new series will be the “wildest” yet.
Bradley Walsh Breaking Dad 2024 series is unlikely
However, despite a series dropping every January since 2019, because of how busy they are – a 2024 series is said to be unlikely.
The source added: “Filming is expected to kick off later this year when Bradley and Barney can commit time to being away from the UK together. It can take five to six weeks on the road to film the entire Breaking Dad series. So it is thought there’ll be a longer wait for fans. With transmission most likely in 2025.”
Entertainment Daily has contacted ITV for comment.
Bradley and son Barney
While the sixth series might not be on screens for a while, in 2023 Barney and Bradley revealed they had no plans of stopping the series.
Barney confessed to his father that the memories they’ve made over the past five years are his favourite thing about the show. He said: “We are so blessed to be able to around the world and do this.”
In the meantime, fans can console themselves with repeats of the series. They’re currently airing on ITV1. This is thanks to schedule shake-ups surrounding the Euros. It’s next on Thursday (July 4) at 7pm.
