Better Call Saul, a prequel to highly acclaimed series Breaking Bad, is not less on any count in entertaining the viewers. This show has it all from a strong story, an interesting protagonist, a good pace to the fun part – appearances of characters from the original show. The show is gearing up for its sixth and final season with a set of 13 episodes. With season 5 being one of the best, the pressure is huge to deliver in this final season.
When this show started to air in 2015, one question that always loomed was whether Breaking Bad leads Walter White (Bryan Cranston) or Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) would reprise their roles in the prequel series. When asked about this, creators Peter Gould and Vince Gilligan did not rule out the possibility, even noting it was highly likely they’d appear at some point. Though the chances are still there, Walt and Jesse’s big scene in the Netflix film El Camino has taken a bit of the pressure off of adding a cameo into Better Call Saul, as told by creator Gould who would love to have them back.
Talking about Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul, Gould said, “I’d love to have Bryan direct an episode. I got to write an episode [of Breaking Bad] that Bryan directed and I was on set with him every day, and it was a wonderful experience. He’s a magnificent director. He’s one of the few directors who has a facility for the lightest comedy and the darkest drama. He’s remarkable. And Aaron Paul is possibly the happiest human being I’ve ever met, and he makes everybody around him happy. So yeah, I would love to have them back.”
The question arises then: Will the big two, Walter White and Jesse Pinkman, appear in the final season of Better Call Saul? The final decision is in the hands of the writers and creators but every viewer wishes to see them together on screen once again.
