The team behind Better Call Saul has ideas about continuing the Breaking Bad universe, but co-creator Peter Gould reveals there is a catch.
Better Call Saul creators have ideas for more Breaking Bad, but there's a catch. Even though it's been almost a year since Better Call Saul ended, officially closing the book on Breaking Bad, there's still a lot of interest in the world that Vince Gilligan created. Actors and writers have occasionally been asked about whether there's more story to tell, striking different tones depending on the interview but always expressing gratitude for their experiences with the show.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT In comments to the Los Angeles Times, Peter Gould gave an optimistic update on the status of the Breaking Bad universe. Gould, who co-created Better Call Saul with Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan, shared that the two writers still have a lot of ideas and scenes written out that they haven't used.
“Vince and I both decided it would be good to give the Gilliverse a little bit of a rest. But we had a big board with ideas or scenes we were interested in or would be fun — and there were a lot of them still on that board when we finished up the show. Maybe that’s a good thing, though. You want to leave something you didn’t get to.”
What Could The Next Breaking Bad Show Be? The team behind Better Call Saul is currently busy with their other projects. Bob Odenkirk, who played Saul Goodman, is starring in the AMC drama Lucky Hank, which could return for season 2. Rhea Seehorn, who portrayed Kim Wexler, is reteaming with Gilligan for a starring role in an Apple TV+ drama that's shrouded in mystery. Other actors like Giancarlo Esposito, who played Gus Fring, are also tied up with other projects.
However, it could be interesting to have a Kim-centric spinoff that takes place after Better Call Saul. The character, and Seehorn's performance, are a big part of what made the prequel so powerfully resonant, and with the right idea, it could be worthwhile to revive the character. Esposito has also consistently expressed an interest in a prequel that would further explore Gus. The same treatment could be given to Mike Ehrmantraut, played by Jonathan Banks.
