Announced earlier this month, we have your exclusive first look at The Broken and the Bad with its first trailer (above) and brand new key art (below). Inspired by some of the most memorable characters from Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, the show will explore real-world stories and situations that mirror the fictional worlds of both shows.

“The fictional world of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul is built on meth labs, shady cartel dealings, questionable legal practices, con artistry, false identities and even bizarre medical conditions. But what about these themes’ real-life counterparts?” Esposito questions in the trailer.
