Title: Better Call Saul -- It's Official - for Breaking Bad Addicts!
Post by: El Diablo Blanco on September 12, 2013, 02:15:27 PM
It's official  ;D

AMC fix for 'Breaking Bad' addicts: 'Better Call Saul'

Los Angeles (CNN) -- "Breaking Bad" addicts who may suffer withdrawal when the AMC drama ends will get a comedic fix with a spinoff featuring criminal lawyer Saul Goodman.

The network announced a licensing agreement with Sony Pictures Television for a new series with the working title "Better Call Saul."

"Plans call for Saul to be a one-hour prequel that will focus on the evolution of the popular Saul Goodman character before he ever became Walter White's lawyer," AMC and Sony said in a joint news release Wednesday.
 
Bob Odenkirk plays the flashy attorney Saul Goodman, who changed his professional name from Saul McGill so clients would think he was Jewish.

The title "criminal lawyer" has extra meaning for Goodman, who often used extra-legal means to help his clients, including "Breaking Bad" lead character Walter White, a high school chemistry teacher who evolved into a meth manufacturer.

"Hi, I'm Saul Goodman," he says in one of his TV commercials. "Did you know you have rights? The Constitution says you do and so do I. I believe that until proven guilty, every man, woman and child in this country is innocent and that's why I fight for you, Albuquerque."

This spinoff will tank in the ratings after the initial pilot episode.    Breaking Bad fans love Saul, but they love him in small manageable doses, not one hour of him.

I'm pretty sure they know that.  But how cool would it be to tie in Tucco, Crazy 8 and those other fuckers.

they may be smart enough to limit him and show us some really creative characters.  The people they've created on the show are some of the alltime greats.  Gus probably could have had his own show lol.  Gail was awesome too.  Imagine them having free range to deliver any kind of criminals.

Or, maybe saul relocates after the heisenberg mess... him in LA or NYC or maybe they pick some obscure city nobody would suspect.


even heisenberg... a lot of the show doesn't show him.   focusing on hank, jesse, drug side, lydia, etc.

AMC is getting spin-off crazy.  The network announced today that it is currently developing a "companion series" to The Walking Dead.

This follows the news that AMC is at work on a Breaking Bad spin-off ("Better Call Saul") now that the series is coming to an end.

The Walking Dead companion series has a target on-air date of 2015.  (Can we make a suggestion?  Do it as an anthology series...)

“Building on the success of the most popular show on television for adults 18-49 is literally a no-brainer,” said Charlie Collier, AMC’s president and general manager. “We look forward to working with Robert, Gale and Dave again as we develop an entirely new story and cast of characters. It’s a big world and we can’t wait to give fans another unforgettable view of the zombie apocalypse.”

“After 10 years of writing the comic book series and being so close to the debut of our fourth, and in my opinion, best season of the TV series, I couldn’t be more thrilled about getting the chance to create a new corner of The Walking Dead universe,” said Kirkman. “The opportunity to make a show that isn’t tethered by the events of the comic book, and is truly a blank page, has set my creativity racing.”

Saul + Mike + The Gilligan/Gould team that delivered Breaking Bad...

This show WILL NOT TANK.   Impossible. 


Jonathan Banks Joins ‘Breaking Bad’ Prequel ‘Better Call Saul’

onathan Banks has joined Bob Odenkirk in “Better Call Saul,” AMC/Sony TV’s upcoming prequel to Emmy-winning “Breaking Bad” that focuses on Odenkirk’s criminal lawyer Saul Goodman, sources confirm to Variety.

Banks will be a series regular on the show, which is slated to premiere in November on AMC.

Conceived by “Breaking Bad’s” creator Vince Gilligan and writer-producer Peter Gould, “Better Call Saul” will chronicle the evolution of Saul before he became Walter White’s lawyer.

Banks was a regular on “Breaking Bad” and played Saul’s trusted private investigator/fixer Michael “Mike” Ehrmantraut. His casting means that Saul will have his helper back by his side.

Odenkirk and Banks are the only actors set for “Better Call Saul” so far.

I think Gus was the best character in that entire series. Although every single character was practically amazing, Gus' character was downright brilliant.

If they bring in Gus, that show will flourish into something amazing.

I had my doubts about the show initially... while I thought the producer/writer combo was incredible, I feared it'd be Saul + a bunch of nobodies.... huell, etc, but nothing cool.

NOW... if you have Mike, then you probably have a young Gus on board before long.  Everyone wants to be a part of it now.  Mike alone could have his own Pre-BB show and it'd be incredible.  Now we get to see Mike & saul coming up together, creating all sorts of "easter eggs" and storylines to wink at people who loved breaking bad.

Tons of possibilities just opened up... and I bet Jonathan Banks wouldn't have agreed to the show without 1) a big ass paycheck and 2) an epic script that'll keep his career on the rise.

Jessie is too bald and fat to do it now.  He looks like he's 40.  No way he can be a teenager again.

Certainly, we can expect to see his whole crew though, even the fat kid that got shot.  And they way they got so good at putting in funny items subtly... I bet we see Combo driving the RV with his grandmother in random scenes... Jesse's hooker friend Wendy showing up in BJ cameos... just so many possibilities.

Gus was awesome.  So calm, collected, calculating, cold blooded.   Unfortunately though, through his appearance in BB initially we got enough of his back story to know what is going to happen and where he originally came from.

However, I have to say that Marie was THE most annoying character in the whole damn show.  I was hoping Walt would show up and rabbit punch her in the throat just for sheer principle.

Skylar was pretty damn nerve wracking too.  I used to just fast forward through the parts with her and Marie in it.

the problem with this idea is Saul.  Breaking Bad worked because it had believable characters that underwent personal transformations of moral rights and wrong.  It was that process that intrigued people.  Saul wasn't a character he was a caricature.  From the sleazy office, tacky comb over, and bimbo assistant he was a walking cliché.  A real weakness in a cast of excellently written characters.

you're right... but they do have a chance to completely develop him and show other sides of him.

We saw the side that he put on for the world - an obnoxious attorney.   Maybe we'll see personal struggle, development, wins and losses... I don't know how I would do it, but I just KNOW that writing/producer team is just so smart at what they do... they'll do it, and it'll work.

Why?

The show ended fantastically. It was a story about Walter White becoming Heisenberg, Breaking Bad. It ran on its own terms and ended on its own terms. It doesn't need people shoehorning story in to a dead horse, ala Supernatural.

Bob Odenkirk and Jonathan Banks have been joined by the first brand new cast member to the Breaking Bad universe in prequel series Better Call Saul. Michael McKean will be joining the show, Deadline reported yesterday, and he’ll be playing Dr. Thurber, an attorney who has “an unusual affliction.” We don’t know what that means, but we do know that McKean starred in a handful of X-Files episodes co-scripted by Vince Gilligan, who is the creator of Breaking Bad and co-creator (with Peter Gould) of Better Call Saul. McKean played a government operative named Morris Fletcher who ends up switching bodies with Fox Mulder in that show’s only comedic two-parter, so maybe Dr. Thurber’s strange affliction will be that he’s actually David Duchovny in disguise. Considering that both Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul starred in X-Files episodes before being cast in Breaking Bad, maybe Gilligan will reach out to Tony Shalhoub, the man who starred in his first script for that show, to fill some other role in Better Call Saul. Michael McKean, of course, has starred in 50 million cool things beyond just The X-Files and Laverne & Shirley, but what you best know him for is probably This Is Spinal Tap, so just start quoting that movie in comments like you know you want to.

BETTER CALL SAUL Adds ORPHAN BLACK Actor and Two Others to its Cast

No, unfortunately Tatiana Maslany has not been cast to join AMC’s Better Call Saul (though we would not hate that in the least). But! There are three other names that have been added to the Bob Odenkirk dark dramedy, and one of them is a former Orphan Black cast member. Don’t you love it when things you love cross-pollinate? Showbiz, man! Michael Mando (better known as Vic to all you Clone Clubbers) is set to join the new series alongside two other new hires: Patrick Fabian and Rhea Seeborn. And so the Breaking Bad universe expands!

Joining the recently announced Michael McKean/Dr. Thurber (which we are very excited about), Mando, Seeborn, and Fabian are set to star in the series, filling previously announced roles. Clone Sarah Manning’s former drug dealer flame Vic will tackle a similarly bent role as Eddie, “a smart and calculating criminal who knows the ropes.”

Fabian — whom you may know from his stints on Big Love, The Newsroom, or the 2010 film The Last Exorcism — will man the role of Burt, a “Kennedy type” who’s “winning at life in addition to being a name partner at a firm.” Whitney and Franklin & Bash star Seehorn will fill the part of Beth, another successful lawyer at the firm that’s said to have her “already difficult life complicated by her romantic entanglements with somebody else at the firm.” So… do we think that somebody else is Goodman, Thurber, or Burt? Or… what if it was Mike Ehrmantraut (a.k.a. the confirmed to be returning Jonathan Banks)? There are so many options here.

The Character is almost a moot point.  You're watching because very talented people that have
 a stellar track record are producing the show.  This isnt some dumbass happy days spinoff.  I would bet my hat that it goes in a completely original and unexpected direction.


Think Larry David.  Seinfeld and then Curb

mike was a philly cop that got into trouble.  So maybe he limped to AZ or NM and got a job as an attendant right afterwards.  Yes, he had brains and skills to be a hitman, but maybe they're showin us the link between PD and Gus' job.

Anyway, at the beginning they showed Saul after the BB events, that was kinda cool, but the rest of the episode was kinda average, or maybe I had high expectations. I also think the Mike cameo was kinda cheesy. Again, I kinda feel awkward seeing all those BB characters that ended up... well you know how it went.

It was *different*.  

It didn't have the unique and amazingly creative/NEW angle of a Dexter or a Breaking Bad... those shows were new ideas.

This show is more "decent lawyer show absolutely LOADED with easter eggs for BB fans.  I'll watch, but I'm able to go to fridge during show - Nobody can "get up" during breaking bad, and miss 3 minutes in the middle.  

it's a little darker.  it really keeps you guessing - you know the main characters won't die, but you have NO idea what will happen - they went to desert... the outcome could have gone lots of ways.  Characters are nowhere near as deep or likeable as BB, but we may have thought that early on with that show too.

The ending was odd, a little anti-climatic, but leading to something.   IMO, the show will be better than average but never ever come close to breaking bad levels.  Still, better than some of the weaker shit on AMC.

intro was artful.  sad, somber, deeper than BB at times.   way less violent, way more realistic, i'd say. 

can be a solid show. i'll watch but won't stress if i miss a week or two.  Missing any BB episode not called "FLY" would be insane.

I like the imagery from this show.  Seeing the tomatos getting cut up at start of episode 2 today... i actually started craving them, and ended up making a mac n cheeze/sliced tomato meal after the show haha.  They have the skies, desert, vivid colors down to a science.  It's like watching an episode of BB in the HD quality of the scenes.   vince giligan doing his thing.  Some really cute BB easter eggs... mentioning streets, casual mentions and cameos of characters we see later.  Seeing them BEFORE they became total badasses lol... seeing the main bad guy, just KNOWING they must kill him off in a cool way in the future... the part with his brother drags on and could have been better, but I get it. 

mmmm tomatoes.  i got them nice and cold, sliced and diced, mixed with the mac.  just incredible.

intro was artful.  sad, somber, deeper than BB at times.   way less violent, way more realistic, i'd say. 

can be a solid show. i'll watch but won't stress if i miss a week or two.  Missing any BB episode not called "FLY" would be insane.

Haha I forgot about the Fly episode.

What the hell was that all about?

he's not a "star" like a walter white or a kevin spacey - some people can just stare at the camera and pull emotions out of people.  But he's solid, and to be honest, the story carries the show, not the actor. 

episode 2 was good.  not incredible, but solid.  Better than 90% of the crap on tv today.  Woul watch that over "killing" or "longmire" on AMC lol.   you have to suspend belief a little, but still, interesting and gives SOMETHING for the BB fans that can't get enough.   Even seeing an aging mike at the guard booth was better than anything NBC or ABC is playing tonight lol.

in ONE YEAR (or 18 months?, he went from chemistry teacher to blowing up Gus to running his own empire to getting caught.

(Do i have that timeline correct?)  I know he celebrated his birthday on the day he does this big violent finale - was the entire show inside that 2 year window?  that includes the time he was hiding in vermont.

yeah, the shooting back in philly... that scene and the buildup to it would have been classic breaking bad material, fit right in.

the weird thing is that outside of AGE, the show is way more realistic than BB. 

I love the parts shown in the same alleys, buildings, deserts, roads we saw in breaking bad.  When Saul and the black detective were sitting on the bench talking, with the Police most wanted list behind them - i was searchig for easter eggs but didn't see any.

They gave a hint when he was running a scam in college and the guy asked his name and he said It's all goodman  Like Saul Goodman.

Basically James McGill is trying to fly straight, he realizes his shady antics is causing Chuck to stay ill.  He wants his deep voiced blonde friend to go legit with him but he'll slide back into a sleezy hole and adopt his sleezy name soon.

To 240's point, I thought the same thing when they showed the mugshots. Was trying to catch any old BB characters

theyve shown saul to be witty and brilliant and hard working.  he was a one-sided character on BB. 

same with Mike... used to just be an effcient badass on BB, all the way to the end.  Now we see what molded that, the helplessness and pain.

I'm sure it'll see a 2nd season.

i think they want this show to be able to last 3-4-5 seasons.  They'll flirt with it.  They gave us tuco early, but now they can bring him in and out as they place.  Same with Gus...

Also I bet they give us more cameos, get cute.  Have a pre-BB Jesse walk thru a scene, bump into saul and tell him to piss off or something... the Mike storyline is almost more powerful than anything with Saul.  Maybe "Saul" is just a vehicle for what is really the Mike Earmentraut show.

I had a client very much like this.  His “healthcare provider” convinced him that the Wifi signals from his Uverse  modem was keeping him awake.  He was my most difficult client so far.

My mother was crazy in a different way.  I know therefore what it is to have a crazy relative who doesn’t listen to you, or let you have any control.  It is incredibly stressful.

This character is to show how Saul is being stretched to the limit of what he can bear.  He wanted just to be a conventional lawyer, but circumstances are not allowing him.

So now this show is Ally McBeal meets LA Law.  Seriously, elderly abuse class action.  Hit the fucking snooze alarm.  Just skip this shit and show us sleazy Saul

Again, he wanted to be a conventional corporate “Mit Romney” lawyer, but the cards he was dealt won’t allow it.  He has to credibly move down the road to become Saul.

Saul will have some legit lawyer success.
Saul's brother will recover and inevitably die at some point.
That blond chick will get fired, work with saul, have a love affair and breakup.

The myriad of bad guys from BB can come and go as needed.  HANK can show up!  fans woudl shit their pants if they crossed paths.  hank's partner will probbaly show up first, I'd guess.  Gomey.

Gus will be epic.  Seeing Polls grow from 1 store to 14, seeing him buiild his network. 

Brian Cranston is too much of an egomaniac not to do a cameo soon :)

Jesse too... his movie career sucks, get him in there, interacting with mike or something. 

Those bald twins can visit with Tuco.  the dealer tied to the pole that Walt choked out crazy 8. 

And their braintrust had years to plan how they'd do it... there are going to be lots of easter eggs, I'm hoping.

You see it coming.  Saul discovered this class action case.  Knew he could settle easily for a couple million and make 50% for himself but his brother is going to push it to a bigger case, they'll eventually win and Saul is going to get fucked in the end.

Yeah, the Mike Show, with Saul as a side story, would be just as good.  That's essentially what we're getting.   A good saul story, sprinkled with a fascinating Mike story.   

Start throwing in Gus, show us how he wants to turn one restaurant into a meth empire... it'll get good.  That Espinosito actor that does Gus... he was actually better in Revolultions when he got to show more sides of him.  Will be cool to show him unsure, insecure, learning, on the way up.

The return of Gus will be interesting, so far he isn't listed for any upcoming episodes.The rough thing is that all the major breaking bad characters are starting to physically show their age, so it will be interesting to see how they handle it. Perhaps some more time lapse between seasons.

Yeah, the Mike Show, with Saul as a side story, would be just as good.  That's essentially what we're getting.   A good saul story, sprinkled with a fascinating Mike story.   

Start throwing in Gus, show us how he wants to turn one restaurant into a meth empire... it'll get good.  That Espinosito actor that does Gus... he was actually better in Revolultions when he got to show more sides of him.  Will be cool to show him unsure, insecure, learning, on the way up. 
Agree, the Mike stuff is great. Will be interesting to see when Gus gets thrown into the mix.

Gus will probably be the end of season 2 leading into season 3.  Saul is just not at the level yet where he'd get a client like Gus.  He's going to have to start with the bottom feeders.

undercover jealousy......probably upset that mom and dad let ol' jimmy get away with murder growing up while he had to stay on the straight and narrow because he was the older brother who had to set an example. Then after all that hard work and having to stay disciplined, good ol Jimmy who spent his life partying and getting into trouble basically becomes your EQUAL......thats too much to take...I would be upset too .....but I wouldn't sabotage my own brother like that

I will say on teh brother's behalf that he knows Jimy better than anyone.....and maybe its best NOT to have Jimmy working with him at the same firm.....guys like jimmy get themselves into trouble and then guess who has to bail them out or go downhill with them>???....Chuck should have just been above-board with him

Not hate, Borderline Personality Disorder.


Chuck sure turns out to be a piece of shit.

Family member saboteurs are heartbreaking when the victim finds out.

Agree and I also wonder why Jimmy would want to even be part of that firm with all the BS that goes along with it. He could take the money, do his own thing and get his 20% on the back end for doing nothing more than he has done.

He wants to work with his brother , who he truly looked up to and he craves the legitimacy that working with the firm would give him....I also think in Jimmy's mind it's also a way to say to Hamlin "you see?...I'm one of you and just as good as you"

From BCS subreddit:
If people found it underwhelming, you're not digging deep enough.
This was the breaking point of Jimmy turning to the darkside. Throughout this entire season, we saw him start as Slippin' Jimmy and work his way to becoming Jimmy McGill. To pay Chuck back for taking a chance on him. To make Chuck proud. To prove Hamlin wrong. To catch Kim's eye. To not become Marco on that barstool. To make something of himself.
But after finding out the reveal about Chuck...feeling lower than low...losing his case and worse, his own brother...it broke him down. He loses it with his amazing "Kitty Cat Notebooks for Everybody" monologue and goes back to his roots.
Here he revisits his Slippin' Jimmy and not 10 minutes in falls perfectly back in step with Marco. Skirting the law again. Hasn't missed a beat. Just as good as he always was....if not better. Marco and Jimmy in perfect harmony, making suckers out of 'em all. And then he loses Marco.
Chuck is gone. Marco is gone. Both sides of that coin...both of his brothers...for both there's now this emptiness.
But here comes Kim to save the day! There's hope! Everything might just turn out ok. In yet another brilliant piece of cinematography...we see a shot of Jimmy outside the courthouse...he stops dead in his tracks "Looking East." A perfect profile of what he'd look like on that Kennedy coin. A new dawn. JUST THEN....he feels Marco's pinky ring. A reminder that....ya know what?
He just had the best week of his life too.
Why fight this anymore? For who? Chuck? Kim? Hamlin? Maybe. But that rush...that feeling he had with Marco...
Why not both?
And thus, the seeds for Saul have been planted. It's not an ambiguous ending. It's the beginning of Saul Goodman.
I may be reading way too in to their cinematography (but to be fair...they're pretty deliberate with it.) The final shot is of Jimmy driving "west" if you will ...away from the promise of a new path at the courthouse. And we pan down to the exact middle of the road....
He may be straddling the line between Jimmy and Saul...but he's now on his way.
tl;dr - If you dig deeper, it's not an ambiguous / underwhelming ending. It's an emotionally powerful ballad on a Shakespearean level...and now I can't tell up from down because I think I may be starting to like Better Call Saul better than Breaking Bad.
Title: Re: Better Call Saul -- It's Official
Post by: andreisdaman on April 07, 2015, 07:38:12 PM
good point,,,I think Jimmy finally put it together in his mind.....I'm not going to be a tight-ass like my brother and I'm not gonna be a loser like my friend who wound up dead in an alley while performing a scam.....however...I'm gonna embrace my true nature and run scams in my capacity as a lawyer....I'm not gonna be a small time hood like my friend....I'm gonna scam BIG

it's realistic. 

in real life, when jimmy "breaks bad", it's going to be a moment at a funeral that changes his mind.
in tv life, it's walter white blowing shit up on the 2nd floor of Tuco's drug den, WAY over the top and highly entertaining.

so this show is way more realistic.

My biggest fear - not to be morbid - is that Jonathan Banks, the awesome actor that plays Mike, is going to get sick or pass away.  He's 68 and IMO has aged terribly over the past 5 years (in real life).  Watching the final last night, I wondered what happens if he gets sick/passes away.  Do they replace him?  just end the series?   I'm sure he has the best healthcare in the world, but he just looks awful and i fear that could be the only thing to derail the show :(

I'm sure they can squeeze 3 to 4 seasons out of this show, and the show will get better even.

there are shows when Odenkirk as Jimmy is absolutely riveting.....and then there are other shows when you wonder if he can carry the show himself.....I think the show goes 5 seasons.....and then they will do like they did with "bad"....break up the last season into two so they can milk it...

The writing is amazing and is the true star of the show

yeah, some weak moments.  but there were times when walter white was less-than-enthralling, like when he tried to act like he was outright dumbfounded by a fly, or burning his own money in the grill.  

I think as long as they keep giving up episodes of mike, gus, tuco, whoever... they can cover for the weak jimmy time.  Mike wasting those 2 crooked cops was some of the best tv we've seen this year.

Plus, once he 'breaks bad' as they hinted, he'll get into prime Saul shape soon.  Season 1 might be looked at as the slow one.

I give it a C+ for what it is.  Turned out to be too much like regular Law dramas.  Not sure why they decided on the lesbian actress with the husky voice to be his love interest.  I know they wanted to to show the progression or should I say regression from trying to be straight to how he became Saul, but it didn't need a full season or 8 episodes.  They could have did it in 4 then spent time on his sleeziness instead of waiting until next season.  Also hate how they showed him at cinnabun at the start but never visited the storyline again.  Would love to see more before and after breaking bad shit.  At times I found myself watching this while I was just bored.  Overall it was just a forgetable season and new show.

However if Bryan Cranston is not inclined..."He's dead..."

Also Hank did a background check on Gus in Chile and found nothing , so Gus Definitely has something in Chile the crew didn't want to reveal maybe to tie it up on this show

Really good 1st episode for the 2nd season.
Although I wish Mike would've had more airtime.

Haven't seen the episode yet, but some shows can actually be appreciated being a little slow. Rectify is a top show and doesn't get nearly enough credit. Compare it to others and it's glacial.

The tequila was the same as that bottle Gus gave to Don Eladio in breaking bad when he poisoned him.

oh that is clever.  i love when they do really smart easter eggs like that for the viewer.   Small winks at the BB fans.

I thought i recognised the name of it when he first sat down with that woman and then when you saw the bottle top i knew it was the one used to poison don eladio.

The show was made to apppeal to people who like to pay attention to involving shows.

When ABC canceled "Police Squad...In Color!"...The reason given was, "You have to pay attention to it to appreciate it."
It's a shame they cancelled the show because idiots couldn't pay attention.

Appears the Twin Mexican Hitman brothers are showing up next week, of all the characters on Breaking Bad, those 2 were the worst pieces of shits in the entire almost perfect show

They made they appears super natural at times, others robotic as if they are T-1000 Cyborg terminators , it was just lame

Los Pollos Hermanos From 'Breaking Bad' Is Coming to NYC

https://www.thrillist.com/eat/new-york/breaking-bad-los-pollos-hermanos-nyc-pop-up-store

If you binged all five seasons of Breaking Bad and kind of thought the food from Los Pollos Hermanos looked good, you're in luck: The fried chicken shack/drug front is popping up in NYC (presumably without the meth).

The pop-up is tied into the upcoming third season of Breaking Bad spinoff/prequel, Better Call Saul, which will reintroduce Los Pollos' owner (and Walter White's nemesis) Gustavo Fring. 

Ahead of the show's April 10 premiere on AMC, the pop-up -- which has already hit Austin and LA -- will be stationed at 243 Pearl St, a Citizen’s Parking location in FiDi, from 11am-8pm on April 9, and 10am-to 8pm on April 10.

According to Eater, the other pop-ups have featured tacos, burritos, and burgers -- but strangely, no fried chicken. Seems like a case for Mike Ehrmantraut.

Per wiki, sometime in 2020.

The breaks of more than a year between seasons are really annoying and detrimental to continued viewership.

Peter Gould is writer and producer for both BB and BCS.  Good writing makes the show.

Breaking Bad movie.  Pinkman is the main character and I believe it is taking place after Breaking Bad. Mid October release on Netflix.

Can you really call something a surprise if everyone expects it to happen? Don’t turn to Better Call Saul for answers, because the show won’t be giving us a chance to debate that philosophical question. The series has announced what every viewer has expected since the prequel series debuted. Breaking Bad‘s Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul will return during Better Call Saul‘s final season.
