AMC 'Better Call Saul' TV Show Cast News & Episode Release Date: 'Breaking Bad' Creator Prepares 2 Seasons of Spinoff Sequel, Walter White Will Appear if It 'Makes Sense'
Fans of AMC's Emmy Award-winning show "Breaking Bad" have something to look forward to once more despite the conclusion of the popular American crime drama television series, where creator Vince Gilligan masterfully tied up the loose ends that were present during the regular run of the series.
While Gilligan was able to satisfy the fans' expectations, the next logical question is to ask what he will do next. Fortunately for fans, he decided to create a spinoff called "Better Call Saul," which will feature the scenarios that took place six years before "Breaking Bad."
Entertainment Weekly has listed the details that writer-producers Peter Gould and Vince Gilligan provided regarding the upcoming series. First of all, it has been learned that Jonathan Banks, Michael McKean, Patrick Fabian, Rhea Seehorn, and Michael Mando will be joining the show's lead character Bob Odenkirk.
As mentioned previously, the show will take place in 2002, several years before Saul meets Walter White. Moreover, Walter White will not be making regular appearances, as he will only be shown if it makes sense. However, the storytelling will be non-linear, following a timeline that jumps from one point to another.
The creators also revealed that Saul Goodman's name in the upcoming show is not yet Saul Goodman, but Jimmy McGill -- a small-time lawyer who works hard to make ends meet.
The creators have been very open about their plans with "Better Call Saul." They said that other characters from "Breaking Bad" might appear on the show, especially the fan-favorites and even some of the directors will return to help with the production. Also, Gilligan admitted that he is a slow TV writer and that the release of the series has been pushed to early 2015 up from the original release this coming fall.
The first season of "Better Call Saul" will have 10 episodes and the next one will consist of 13 episodes.
