ITV has renewed Bradley and Barney Walsh's 'Breaking Bad' for another instalment.

The father-and-son duo will be hitting the road in their RV in Asia to carry out more dare-devil challenges and have quality time together in Japan.

A source told The Sun: “It’s been a busy year for Bradley and Barney.

“As well as working together on the reboot of Gladiators for the BBC, Barney has been living away from home while filming for Casualty, and Bradley is non-stop with The Chase.

“So they’re thrilled to be back together for a sixth series of Breaking Dad, where they genuinely have as much fun as it looks on screen.

“Going on another epic adventure gives them the perfect opportunity to spend some quality time together.

“They have already ticked off a number of dream destinations, but there’s plenty to get stuck into in Japan —and it’s likely to be the wildest series yet.”

However, due to the time it takes to film their travels, it's likely it won't hit screens until 2025.

The source added: “Filming is expected to kick off later this year when Bradley and Barney can commit time to being away from the UK together.

“It can take five to six weeks on the road to film the entire Breaking Dad series, so it is thought there’ll be a longer wait for fans - with transmission most likely in 2025.”

So far, Barney has taken his dad to North and South America and various places in Europe to learn about local traditions and take on various challenges, with Bradley, 63, having faced his fear of heights many times.
