Netflix teased fans with a trailer for the film and tweeted it will be on the streaming service on 11 October.
It will see Aaron Paul returning as crystal meth cook Jesse Pinkman
and it has been written by the show's creator, Vince Gilligan.
We still don't know if Bryan Cranston, who played Walter White, will return to star in the film.
Earlier this week Bob Odenkirk, who plays lawyer Saul Goodman in the series,
revealed the whole movie had already been shot.
Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, he says he's surprised the "secret" never got out.
But now fans know a little bit more about about it.
According to Netflix, El Camino will see Jesse escape from captivity and
"come to terms with his past in order to forge some kind of future".
(By the way - if you plan on bingeing the TV series before the movie comes out,here's your spoiler warning.)
So... what do we know?
One thing that's not changing is the director Vince Gilligan, who's putting the movie together.
It's reportedly a sequel to the series. A prequel, Better Call Saul, has already run for four
seasons on Netflix and a fifth is planned for next year.
So the finer details might still be up in the air - even for Bob:
"I've heard so many different things about it, but I am excited about the Breaking Bad movie.
I can't wait to see it.
"I don't know what people know and don't know. I find it hard to believe you don't know it was shot.
"They did it. How is that a secret? But it is. They've done an amazing job of keeping it a secret."
As for one of the leading characters, Jesse Pinkman, it's fairly certain he'll be a central part of the film.
Actor Aaron Paul certainly hinted to Variety magazine he'd be involved, pointing out
"in case you haven't caught up on the TV series, Walter dies, so it has to star Jesse.
"When it comes together I'd love to be a part of it. I would love to do it."
A bigger question is whether Bryan Cranston will return as Walter White - despite him and
Aaron posting the single word "soon" on social media at the same time in July.
Bryan's Breaking Bad character might be dead in the series but he's told Entertainment Tonight,
"rigor mortis has a way of allowing that to happen".
"Could be in a flashback, or a flash forward. I'm still dead, Walter White,
I don't know what could happen."
