Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul to Appear in the Final Season of ‘Better Call Saul’

“‘Are we going to see Walt and Jesse?’ was the first question we got when we started the show. Instead of avoiding, I’ll simply say “yes.” “About the impending sixth season of the AMC series, showrunner Peter Gould remarked.

On Saturday night, co-creator and showrunner Peter Gould announced the news during a PaleyCenter panel discussion for the AMC programme starring Bob Odenkirk. When Gould revealed that Walter White (Cranston) and Jesse Pinkman (Paul), whom viewers first met when Breaking Bad premiered in January 2008, will appear in Better Call Saul’s sixth season, the first half of which will premiere April 18, the crowd erupted in applause.

“I have to say that we’ve been a little squirrelly about this,” Gould said from the Dolby Theatre stage in Los Angeles. “I’m naturally a little bit cagey about things, and I don’t want to spoil things for the audience. The first question we got when we started the show was, ‘Are we going to see Walt and Jesse?’ And instead of evading, I’ll just say ‘yeah

e continued, “That’s one of the many things that I think you’ll discover this season.”

After a loud reaction from the audience, Odenkirk (Jimmy McGill, a.k.a. Saul Goodman) also teased “there’s more” when it comes to this season’s surprises — and fellow castmember Jonathan Banks (Mike Ehrmantraut) was quick to question how Paul would return to play Jesse in the prequel series. “Aaron Paul is like 50 years old playing a 20 years old,” Banks declared (though Paul is actually 42). “I want to know where you guys set the bar.”

Gould had been more cryptic about the news earlier in the night, telling The Hollywood Reporter on the red carpet about a possible comeback for the two stars, who both reprised their characters in Netflix’s 2019 feature El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie, about a possible return for the two stars.

“Everyone got to see quite a bit of Jesse and Walt in Vince’s brilliant El Camino movie, so I like to think the pressure’s a little bit off us,” Gould told THR before the panel. “But keep your eyes open, that’s for sure.”
