'Breaking Bad' To Get Spanish-Language Remake: Univision's 'Metastasis' A Go

There has been a lot of back and forth regarding the Spanish-language adaptation of AMC's Emmy-winning series "Breaking Bad".

Spanish-language network Univision announced last week that they would be airing a remake of the hit series, but Sony--the studio owns the rights to the series--said that a pilot exists but the deal is not official.

"We have made a pilot for a Spanish version of Breaking Bad," said a source, according to FOX. "It's not in development with them or anything like that."

The new show, titled "Metastasis," has gotten the green signal from Sony over the weekend, as the studio now states that the show will be airing on Univision.

"Critics and audiences love 'Breaking Bad' and its original take on the drug dealing business," said Angelica Guerra, senior vice president and managing director for Sony Pictures Television, in a statement. "It is a very relevant story for all audiences, produced with the highest standards, in spectacular locations with the best talent in the region."

Here are four things to know about "Metastasis":

1. No premiere date is available for the show.

2. The show will air on Univision's UniMas channel.

3. The story of the Spanish-language show will follow that of "Breaking Bad" and will have a chemistry teacher diagnosed with cancer cooking meth to provide for his family.

4. Colombian actor Diego Trujillo will play the lead role of Walter White played by Bryan Cranston. Trujillo's character will be called Walter Blanco. Other cast members include: Robert Urbina as Walter's accomplice named José Miguel Rosas, Sandra Reyes playing Walter's wife Cielo, and Julián Arango as Walter's brother-in-law and narcotics agent Henry Navarro.
