In the upcoming Better Call Saul season 6, Vince Gilligan teases the return of Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul from Breaking Bad. Breaking Bad covers the relationship of Walter White and Jesse Pinkman, who partner up to create crystal methamphetamine, and Cranston and Paul are known for their unforgettable duo as Walter White and Jesse Pinkman, who team up to cook crystal methamphetamine. Better Call Saul is a prequel to the series that follows their criminal lawyer, Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk), six years before the events of the Walter White crime drama.
Season 6 of Better Call Saul will be the show’s final season, with 13 episodes. It will be split into two halves, similar to Breaking Bad’s final season. With each passing season, the program has gradually merged many of its characters into the Breaking Bad timeline, illustrating how the two universes are becoming increasingly interwoven. Since the end of Better Call Saul season 5, there have been numerous hints as to how the events of the highly anticipated final season would unfold, as well as whether or not more Breaking Bad characters will appear.
Better Call Saul may have been hinting at Kim’s tragic fate all along.
In an interview with Variety, Gilligan discusses the possibility of Cranston and Paul appearing in the final season of Better Call Saul. Gilligan and co-creator Peter Gould both attended the season 6 premiere of the show but remained tight-lipped about what might happen. However, Gilligan hinted that the appearance of the Breaking Bad cast members isn’t ruled out. The following is Gilligan’s provocative statement:
“Wouldn’t it be a travesty if the show concluded without [Cranston and Paul] appearing?” “You heard it first here.”
Viewers have been wondering since the beginning of Better Call Saul if Walter or Jesse will appear in the series. Both Cranston and Paul appeared in El Camino: A Breaking Bad Film, which followed Jesse Pinkman after the events of Breaking Bad. Cranston made an appearance in a flashback scene with Paul. If both appear in the prequel, it’s unknown in what capacity they’ll do so, given the show’s penchant for jumping timelines, as evidenced by the Gene flash-forwards that launch Better Call Saul seasons, which take place after Saul’s arc in Breaking Bad.
While several hints regarding Better Call Saul season 6 have been released, the plots have remained a closely guarded secret. Better Call Saul is predicted to swing towards ruthlessness and tragedy as it approaches the Breaking Bad timeframe, given the events of the Season 5 finale, which ended on several cliffhangers and intense twists. In the final season, Gilligan and Gould have confirmed that the two series would cross over in a unique, thrilling fashion, and it will be intriguing to watch how it all plays out, as well as how Walter and Jesse might play a part if they both appear. More information will be released soon, and it will be thrilling to start the endgame when Better Call Saul season 6 premieres on April 18.
