Peter Gould on how ElCamino influenced the BetterCallSaulFinale 👀 'Vince [Gilligan] was out of the room working on ‘El Camino’ and he pitched potential endings to ‘El Camino’ and one of them was very similar to this, except for Jesse.' 😱
Spoilers ahead for the Better Call Saul finale!Better Call Saul's finale was set into motion by Breaking Bad film El Camino, according to series creators. Now that Better Call Saul has officially wrapped, viewers have witnessed the long-awaited conclusion to Saul Goodman's story, after the character was first brought to the screen in Breaking Bad season 2 episode 8, fittingly titled "Better Call Saul.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Luckily for fans, Better Call Saul wasn't creators Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould's only return to the Breaking Bad franchise after the original series wrapped in 2013. The 2019 Breaking Bad sequel film El Camino clued audiences into the fate of another favorite Breaking Bad character in Jesse Pinkman.
I think we had an image in Season 4 or 5 that [Saul] would end up in jail. At that point, Vince [Gilligan] was out of the room working on ‘El Camino’ and he pitched potential endings to ‘El Camino’ and one of them was very similar to this, except for Jesse. It was beautifully pitched.
The revelation that Saul's ending was in the cards a couple of years before the final season makes sense, considering the foreshadowing present in the series that Saul's schemes would eventually catch up to him. Though plenty of fan theories predicted Saul would end up behind bars, Gould reveals that only happened because Jesse ultimately didn't in El Camino.
It's not often that a spinoff series serves as a prequel and sequel to its predecessor, as Gould puts it. With Better Call Saul's unique structure, fitting tributes to the franchise's other properties, and satisfying overall conclusion, the standards have been raised for shared universe storytelling going forward.
