BREAKING BAD is definitely not returning.

Empire News, a satirical news site, recently posted a story that claimed Vince Gilligan, Bryan Cranston, and Aaron Paul would be reuniting for a sixth season of the now-concluded AMC series. Paul, however, has now commented, putting the rumors to rest, and disappointing some (possibly) gullible fans.

Paul tweeted: This link really made me laugh. And also made me think that I had some work to do. Breaking Bad season 6 everyone. http://bit.ly/1t4NtvM."

And then:

"It's not happening friends."

AMC's Breaking Bad capped its historic run in September 2013, delivering a series-record 10.3 million viewers, including 6.7 million adults 18-49. Ratings for the final episode were up 300% over the previous season's finale, demonstrating the remarkable growth of the iconic series.

From acclaimed writer, producer, director Vince Gilligan, Breaking Bad is produced by Sony Pictures Television with Mark Johnson (Gran Via) and Michelle MacLaren as executive producers. Breaking Bad, which first premiered on AMC in January 2008, follows the story of a desperate man who turns to a life of crime to secure his family's financial future. The series has garnered ten Emmy Award wins - including the 2013 Emmy Award for Outstanding Drama Series - two Peabodys, and been named to the American Film Institute's (AFI) list of the "Top 10 Programs of the Year" (2008, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013).Breaking Bad stars three-time Emmy Award-winner Bryan Cranston; two-time Emmy winner Aaron Paul; Emmy Award-winner Anna Gunn; Dean Norris; Betsy Brandt; RJ Mitte and Bob Odenkirk.
