This is upsetting. After we got all excited by his Instagram and everything... He captioned the below "Can't wait to tell you what this is all about. It's top secret for now but you all will know soon enough. It's a new gig that I am over the moon about. Thank you angel for sending this to me from across the country. Love you lots and lots."
Needless to say, the comments flew in, mostly along the lines of "CONGRATULATIONS, BITCH". Then he went on to Periscope...

People saw this as him being a little less cryptic about the "spin-off"

Twitter responded appropriately...
Was watching the Aaron Paul on Periscope. He mentioned there's going to be a Breaking Bad spinoff featuring Jesse Pinkman.
