The end of Breaking Bad is almost upon us, but the Saul Goodman spinoff is still in the works. Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan told TheWrap that Better Call Saul is "not a done deal yet, but it's definitely something that we're full speed ahead on trying to get going."
Breaking Bad producer Peter Gould was the one who
created Bob Odenkirk's character, and he would probably run the new
series. But unlike the drama it stems from, Better Call Saul might
end up going in a more comedic direction. Gilligan said they still
aren't sure which way they want to go with it. Either way, we can bet
Saul will continue to entertain.
"We are plugging away coming up with a pitch and a take on
it for the network and studio and hopefully everyone will agree that
there's a really fun show to be had here," Gilligan said.
And Gilligan is really keeping his mouth shut when it comes to whether or not the new series would be a prequel or a sequel to Breaking Bad.
"I have to be coy as to whether it even could be a sequel," he said.
"Because you never know, when the dust settles at the end of our final
eight episodes, where everybody's gonna be and who's gonna be left
standing."
Well that sounds just about as ominous as it gets. Keep your head down Saul. No one wants to see you go.
