Breaking Bad star/producer Bryan Cranston has inked a first-look deal with Sony Pictures Television, the studio behind Breaking Bad, to develop and produce new series projects, an SPT spokesperson confirmed.

Cranston, who is currently wrapping production on the final season of Breaking Bad, could potentially star in the new projects. The final eight episodes of Breaking Bad premiere on AMC this summer.

His portrayal of chemistry teacher turned meth dealer Walter White on the series has earned Cranston three Primetime Emmys and a SAG award last Sunday.

Deadline first reported the story.
