"Breaking Bad" will return for its sixth and final season this fall, with a premiere date of August 11th on AMC. Though the cast and crew are careful not to let too much slip, a couple of hints in interviews suggest some mild spoilers and what will happen in the final eight episodes, or the second half of season 5.

Vince Gilligan, creator of "Breaking Bad," talks to Entertainment Weekly about the surprises in the next eight episodes. He says that characters will die, but that the violence is not as important as the emotions.

"As the movie title goes, there will be blood," he said. "To my mind, that's not the most interesting thing. It's the emotional moments and the character moments. ... We've got some stuff that I think is going to be truly satisfying and truly shocking and jarring. It does not always center on moments of violence."

And when Gilligan was asked for a final hint about the episodes, he said cryptically: "Sometimes you see meth labs in the darndest places."

Those involved with "Breaking Bad" have stressed Walter White's transformation in the final season.

"Walt has been the world's greatest liar, and I think the person he lies most capably to is himself. So in these final eight episodes, perhaps the lies will cease to find traction and the scales will start to fall away from Walt's eyes. And when that happens, will Walt really begin to realize who he is? That's a question that we asked ourselves a lot in the writers' room this year."

And his son's character, Walter White, Jr. or "Flynn," will also experience many changes, Flavorwire.com reports. R.J. Mitt has said that his character "really is going to change and realize he can finally be an adult... When the first episode releases people are just going to be flipping out of their minds."

So how will the series come to an end?

Gilligan says: "I feel like this ending represents on some level, however small, something of a victory for Walter White. Read into that what you will. And try to be as open-minded as possible when you watch this episode, because it may not indeed feel like a victory... I can't wait for people to see it."

Neither can we.

ModernThrill.com speculates that Walt is the character most likely to die, as "Breaking Bad" is "primarily a show about one man's descent into hell," and that he's had it coming since he burned all his bridges to be where he is in the show today.
