‘Breaking Bad’ Actor Aaron Paul Joins Hulu’s Original Series ‘The Way’

Hulu has tapped a major Hollywood celebrity for its upcoming series The Way. Aaron Paul (of Breaking Bad fame) is joining the Hulu original series as both a lead actor and producer.

The Way centers on one family’s involvement in a cult-like religious movement as they deal with issues like power, marriage, and the idea of going after the life you want to live. Paul will play opposite lead actress Michelle Monaghan as her husband, Eddie Cleary. Eddie will question all he’s come to believe when his faith is challenged at its core.

Hulu announced The Way back in March 2015. Executive produced by Michelle Lee

and Emmy-winner Jason Katims, The Way was written by Jessica Goldberg (of Parenthood fame). Hulu’s original series is produced by Katims’ True Jack Productions and Universal Television.
