Aaron Paul took Bob Odenkirk by surprise at the final season premiere of Better Call Saul last night!

After playing the gravitas of moral-shifting, slick attorney Saul Goodman on AMC’s 39-Emmy nominated Better Call Saul, Bob Odenkirk, is –to use a line from one of his Mr. Show sketches ready “to blow up the moon” as he pivots back to his comedy roots.

AMC‘s “Breaking Bad” and the prequel series “Better Call Saul” are both landmark television shows, giving audiences a unique modern spin on the crime epic and fitting nicely alongside HBO‘s “Sopranos” and “The Wire.” As things are winding down with the sixth and final season of “Better Call Saul” ending the Albuquerque saga, the show’s co-creators Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould are weighing in on the possibility of Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul reprising their “Breaking Bad” roles before the curtain closes on the spinoff.

Emily Longeretta Bob Odenkirk never liked Saul Goodman — but Jimmy McGill has grown on him.Ahead of the final season of “Better Call Saul,” the “Breaking Bad” vet opened up to Variety about wrapping up the character 13 years after it was introduced to the world. In short: his feelings are complicated.“I’m not running from the guy. I think sometimes people do that,” Odenkirk says, mentioning that his former co-star Bryan Cranston was ready to say goodbye to Walter White.

There will be no more making meth in the middle of the desert in your underwear, at least for now.

Ethan Shanfeld The question of whether Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul would appear in “Better Call Saul” has loomed over the prequel series ever since its inception. And while co-creators Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould have remained coy about the possibility of that crossover, the masterminds behind “Better Call Saul” told Variety at the final season premiere that the worlds do, indeed, crossover.As Gilligan said, “It would be a damn shame if the show ended without [Cranston and Paul] appearing, would it not?” He later added, “You heard it here first.”With its sixth and final season premiering on April 18, “Better Call Saul” takes place before the events of “Breaking Bad.” But as the hit AMC spinoff series nears the timeline of its predecessor, Gould says, “If it’s ever going to happen, this is when these two shows start crossing over.” While Cranston and Paul played Walter White and Jesse Pinkman, respectively, it’s unclear whether they will reprise the same roles in “Better Call Saul.” As Gould said coyly, “These two worlds crossover in a way that you haven’t seen before, that’s for sure.”Cranston and Paul previously reprised the roles of Walt and Jesse for 2019’s “El Camino: A Breaking Bad Film,” which followed Jesse after escaping enslavement from Todd (Jesse Plemons) and Uncle Jack’s (Michael Bowen) gang.While “Breaking Bad’s” Giancarlo Esposito and Jonathan Banks also star in its prequel series as Gustavo Fring and Mike Ehrmantraut, many other characters from the Vince Gilligan Cinematic Universe have also made their way into “Better Call Saul,” including Hector Salamanca (Mark Margolis), Don Eladio (Luis Politti) and the Salamanca twins (Luis and Daniel Moncada).

Better Call Saul is set to kick off April 18 with a two episode premiere.Following on from the end of season five in April 2020, the final chapter of the Breaking Bad spin-off will “conclude the complicated journey and transformation of its compromised hero, Jimmy McGill (Bob Odenkirk) into criminal lawyer Saul Goodman,” according to the official synopsis.The first half of the season features seven episodes. After a short break, the second half of the season (six episodes) will premiere July 11.The synopsis adds: “From the cartel to the courthouse, from Albuquerque to Omaha, season six tracks Jimmy, Saul and Gene (Jimmy’s post-Breaking Bad identity, hiding away managing a Cinnabon) as well as Jimmy’s complex relationship with Kim (Rhea Seehorn), who is in the midst of her own existential crisis.

Matt Grobar Assistant Editor, AwardslineIn Legal Ethics With Kim Wexler, Better Call Saul EP Melissa Bernstein found a compelling, new opportunity to extend the universe created by Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould, examining with humor a character who’d found herself at a major moral crossroads.The critically acclaimed spin-off to Gilligan’s Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul centers on Jimmy McGill (Bob Odenkirk), a small-time lawyer and beaten down con man, on a downward spiral toward a life of crime and corruption.

Anthony D'Alessandro Editorial Director/Box Office EditorEver since Jimmy McGill’s girlfriend Kim Wexler, played by Rhea Seehorn, was in a car accident a few seasons ago on AMC/Sony TV’s Better Call Saul, we’ve had the worst thoughts about her character, and that’s likely because she never shows up in the mothership series Breaking Bad. “It’s an interesting situation, because the show is a prequel to Breaking Bad and in some ways a sequel,” said the series’ Emmy-nominated co-creator/showrunner, executive producer, writer and director Peter Gould during Sony TV’s panel at Deadline’s Contenders Television: The Nominees all-day event.
